Totally agree about the striker situation, Josh. Germany are taking only 3, but have got a much larger choice of quality midfielders so should dominate possession in that area. I can see Vardy being pushed out wide and nobody having the vision or ability to see his runs, while Saint Harry is being constantly fed by Alli, Dier and Walker.
Well done Roy Leeds United have had 6 managers since Jack Wilshere last completed a full 90 minutes for Arsenal. #bbcfootball
Another boring boring display by England so far. Harry bloody Kane is a waste of a shirt. Never have I seen such a selfish player only in it for himself
Well if England can play like that and paper over the cracks why not do the same with your ceiling! That's all it's doing, it'll do us no good long term
It was a poor game, BUT, to be fair, it was a game where nobody wants to over-exert themselves... Imagine getting injured and missing the actual tournament!
I feel sorry for Vardy. There was never a chance of him ever getting a decent early ball from anyone in that side. The only England midfield player of the last 10 years with the confidence to play him in would have been Steven Gerard who was used to supplying Torres and Suarez. If Woy is going to play that formation with Rooney at the top of a diamond causing the strikers to go wide then Vardy might as well come home now. Saint Harry seems to have re-invented himself as England's Christiano Ronaldo. He fancies himself from free kicks all over the pitch. He's even adopted Ronaldo's gunslinger pose before the kick. All he needs now is the finish.
Neither are what you would call 'team players'. I think I have managed to work out England's master plan for the Euros. I am assuming here that coaches work on getting their team to play to their strengths. Woy is obviously working on playing such boring stuff that eventually the opposition falls asleep (it works with the fans so why wouldn't it work for opposing players?), and we nick a winner. If we lose the first qualifier, expect Woy to put out an even more negative team with even more aimless passing around until the plan actually works. The cunning devil!
Sturridge is a spasmodic treatment table resident... reminds me of Laurie Cunningham for us all those years back .. a retirement dodger...
The conversation went: Arsene "Jack Wilshere must be in your final squad" Woy "but he's not fit" Arsene "I know but I need him to get in Vardy's ear and also don't pick Danny Drinkwater as he might try to get Vardy to stay at Leicester" Woy "OK Arsene, same time Sunday for me to wash your car" Arsene "Good boy" The real reason for the final squad. All names are fictitious and any bearing to real names is by coincidence (i think that covers me)
