A great goal, but Van Basten every time for me. Van Basten hit his first time on the volley direct from a cross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Van Basten's was a true volley, ie, it didn't bounce and sit up for him. But a great hit from Vardy nevertheless. Do it in the Euro final this summer and we can bring up Van Basten again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Rooney Kane and Vardy are all on fire at the moment, with Stirling and Walcott options too England strike force this summer is looking exciting. anyone else think drinkwater should be knocking on woys door?

Optimism based on people looking good against Norwich, West Brom etc. I remember Guardiola being asked about Jack Wiltshire and he said there are loads of players like him in Spain and I've no reason to doubt him. Much better to have low expectations and be pleasantly surprised. What they need is some kind of scandal pre-tournament. Get the pressure on them and push them closer together like the Italians in 1982 and 2006 and us in Euro 96.

Basically the comment was probably laced with a post defeat bitterness and also mind games. Without watching a video of the game, I think it might just be that he was a surprise package. He's proven to be a classic young English player who shows precocious early promise which fades. A grounding in the lower leagues is 10 times better for a young player than coming through at a big club. Dele Alli being a classic example. As he's played a couple of seasons for MK Dons, he's in a far better position to show continuous improvement. If rumours are to believed, England should stay well clear of someone who would struggle to pass a drugs test. Spain produces not just better technical players but also stronger players mentally and their national teams never pick inexperienced players. That is key. Their best under 21s play for the under 21s then graduate to the senior side. We do the opposite preferring to move players up to sitting on the bench for the important qualifier away to Estonia rather than going to an under 21 tournament. Our squad have little tournament experience and virtually nil successful tournament experience. It will take 2 or 3 tournaments together to get them close to the level required. We also don't value team players enough - football is not about the best 11 players but about having the best team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Vardy, Kane, Rooney, Walcott, Sterling and Barkley, front 4 in a 4-2-3-1 looking pretty sexy right now If only Stones could get in some form but Smalling and Cahill/Shawcross will be a good back two as well. Henderson and who else in the midfield anchor? With Hart in goal and Clyne, Baines, (real shame Shaw is injured) etc competing for wing back places we might even make a semi?

Well Vardy has said himself in the media that when he was in the process of leaving Fleetwood three clubs were after him...Posh, Cardiff and Leicester. But he chose Leicester because Nigel Pearson invited him to his house and really 'sold' the club to him and convinced him to sign. Most clubs have scouts and recruitment staff who identify targets first, and Pearson's assistant Steve Walsh was very involved in that at Leicester, but it has been widely acknowledged in the media that Nigel Pearson played a 'very hands on role in convincing players to join Leicester City.' Something Ranieri has also acknowledged since he arrived there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
