You don't think that Le Tissier would've have walked into the Costa Rican team?, it's a silly comparison.
yeah, he had a good touch, but was also a lazy ****er that only played for himself and when he could be bothered. It suited him being the bigger fish in a small pond.
he did, but he was slow and lazy as well, a fact you Southampton supporters like to ignore, and couldn't produce it at the highest level when offered the opportunity. I don't think he'd make the grade these days becaus ehe wouldn't last a half.
You are showing your ignorance of him now, he probably had twice as many assists as he had goals and certainly preserved the club's PL status through the 90s, everyone he has played with all loved him.
It's called the English disease, we can't handle players with flair and talent that's why players like Carlton Palmer and David Batty have multiple caps while Tony Currie, Alan Hudson, Stan Bowles, Frank Worthington and Matty don't.
He has admitted himself that if he was playing today, he'd have to be fitter. But you could say that about dozens, no hundreds of players.
I mentioned this to someone a little while ago and he said that he always thought Le Tiss was left out because he leaked the team to the opposition or something. I had never heard that before but he found some article about it. I was 9 at the time so wasn't too up to date on what was happening, was that a thing or was he just chatting ****? Found this - https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-le-tissiers-phone-call-embarrasses-hoddle-1278432.html But happened in 97 so maybe nothing to do with being left out in 98 or maybe Hoddle just never forgave him
I never heard that one, but Hoddle did have a tendency to freeze people out. By all accounts, Ray Parlour got blanked because he took the piss out of Eileen Drewery, Hoddle's faith healer.
