I agree Suze. We're a nation that is known for wanting the underdog to win, so having a team of hardworking, but talented underdogs is surely what we want?
Barkley and Delle don't fit that tag, but the others do.
Another stand-out performance for Premier League leaders Leicester on Monday
which already makes me laugh, since he looked pants, imo.
In the section: How does he rate among English midfielders?
who do you imagine are the contenders he might be up against?
Go on have a guess.
Guess who it doesn't include...
Oh, you guessed...
The heatmap below shows that Drinkwater sits in the area in front of the back four. His rivals in that role for England could include Eric Dier, Michael Carrick, Fabian Delph, Jordan Henderson and Phil Jones.
Even though, later in the same article, Mark Noble is considered individually, he is not worthy of a place on the 'rivals' list.
And then they trot out stats to back up his claim.
Bet you can't guess who is just 3 tackles behind...
Oh, you guessed.
Don't suppose you want to try for which player equals or betters Drinkwater in all the other stats they mention?
You do?
That's right!
Man, you're good at this!
Yet it's all about why Drinkwater should be a guaranteed squad member for the Euros...
Send that to the FA....it's just plain wrong and the idiots in the media have a lot to do with influencing the England Manager, even they shouldn't, but he's weak.
I don't have a particular problem with Drinkwater being called up. I think he's had a good season and those players who have good seasons should get call ups.
My issue will be if the likes of Henderson get called up, as he has been dreadful this year.

Interesting XI
------------Butland
Francis--Dawson--Dann--Daniels
------------Drinkwater
-------Noble-------Barkley
-------------Dele Alli
----------Vardy---Kane
I would actually love to see that XI for England. Except Cresswell and Tomkins in, with Carroll and Antonio on the bench ;wink

Had enough of mediocre players who play for big teams that get in by default
Should always be on form

Who is the last out of the dressing room after a match or training?
Mark Noble. I don't think he has a house!
Who would be the first player you would call up for a pub quiz?
I have to say Mark Noble as he has been playing for 60 years and knows everything!
Ginge. What he wears might be the fashion in Wales but not for me!
;lol

On DD he said "his pedigree is good, former Manchester United, so he knows the game." What in the world does that mean?!
On MN, "Mark is just over 30," nope.
;doh
