Another 2 goals for Sancho in the Bundesliga yesterday, in addition to a goal midweek in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid. This lad looks the real deal. Makes you wonder how much Foden is restricting his progress by being at Man City and getting next to no game time. Foden must be thinking the same.

These young ones follow in the footsteps of British players who improved when they went to play abroad
Charles, Keegan, Woodcock, Hateley, Platt, Lambert, Linekar, Hargreaves

He's ridiculous! Bound to have a dip) second season syndrome perhaps but some player. England have an abundance of talent in the last third.

Never seen a daisy cutter bounce so hard off the post like the one Waddle produced in the 1990 world cup.
If only...

Even when we did produce these flair players we didn't use them much anyway. Hudson, Currie, Marsh, Bowles and Worthington won less than 50 caps between them. To be fair they didn't help themselves much off the pitch. Le Tiss won a dozen caps which was ridiculous, Gascoigne again was his own enemy and Barnes was often poor for England. Hoddle was the biggest waste but when he became manager, after moaning correctly about being overlooked for England he did the same thing with Le Tissier.

Maybe Foden should consider playing elsewhere and getting game time. At the moment he isn't going to be a regular and would he be good enough to lead the line at Man City in the future?

Pretty much all were top players at a high level ie European Cup/World Cup etc. Hateley had a purple patch with England including a goal in Rio. Hargreaves maybe the exception but being Canadian born like a fair few players from Canada and the USA was picked up at an early age to German Football. There are still a good number of N American players who play in Germany

a wanna water bottle waddle. It was a good joke about 40 years ago. Yes it was, although I suspect much older. Certainly did the rounds when I was at school where it was the butler, Worrall, rather than Waddle. Do kids still tell one another jokes? Or has that been consigned to history, along with conkers, apple scrumping, jumpers for goalposts, rickets, corporal punishment, the open sale of alcohol to minors, vandalism of football special trains* - and players opening pubs at the end of their careers, rather than earning squillions on our screens, stating the bleeding obvious? (*Buff, lavender or indigo ticket?).

Hoddle was the biggest waste but when he became manager, after moaning correctly about being overlooked for England he did the same thing with Le Tissier. Nobody ever doubted Le Tissier was staggeringly talented. He regularly scored goals nobody else could score. BUT there were some sides of his game that never developed, in some respects he never grew up as a player. You have to be aware of the game when you don't have the ball at your feet. As Venables said himself... he wasn't expected to run around at 100 mph making crashing tackles he just had to stand by an opponent or fill spaces, you can't always outplay them so make sure you outnumber them and in that respect we would only have 10 men when we haven't got the ball. At that level you don't get it back for ages as well. Some sides might be able to absorb that deficiency but England couldn't/can't. When Hoddle was at Chelsea he wanted Le Tiss. He saw a lot of himself in him as a talented player who hadn't got the international caps or medals he was worth. The finance of the deal meant each season Chelsea needed 5 sell outs just to pay for him and Hoddle wanted to do the deal... which fell through. BUT when he managed England he could use Le Tissier whenever he wanted but hardly ever did so... even when he impressed for England B. Simply, Hoddle realised he couldn't take the risk. Also Le Tissier did get eight caps and made little impression. I reiterate though Le Tissier was a brilliant talent and I loved watching him.

Le Tiss took the brunt of the Italy defeat which was real harsh. Had the talent to be given more of a chance, the likes of Walcott in later years go chance after chance despite being so poor at international level. Dozens of players have had 50 odd caps yet impressed so little. Le Tiss still my favourite Prem player to date.

After the Italy defeat Hoddle made a point of saying he'd taken Le Tissier off too early and should have left him on longer. Some players do have fifty caps and only playing in fits and starts but the difference is they were more likely to fulfill a role for the team without the ball at their feet. Le Tiss never was. The Le Tissier/Hoddle story sums up the fallacies and flaws of the mavericks.

Going to the U21 game against Poland on Thursday, who are the players to watch? www.thefa.com/news/2019/mar/14/england-u21s-squad-named-for-poland-and-germany-140319Agree with Joe that Maddison seems very unlucky to be in the u21s with Ward-Prowse called up. Maddison looks far superior. Looks a decent squad, dosen't it? I'd be surprised if Barnes at Leicester doesn't get capped at some point. And Sessegnon, Gray, Foden, Nelson, Lookman all look exciting. Really surprised how Lookman has been used at Everton.

I think Ward-Prowse deserves his call up. Looks to be playing further up the pitch and being more of an influence for Southampton and his set pieces are excellent. He has the best dead ball delivery in the country imo.
Maddison should definitely be involved also, very strange how he's been left out.

I'd argue that Grealish is unlucky not to get in based on his form since his return from injury. However, Sancho has goals in his locker and Hudon-Odoi is very much all about potential. You wouldn't throw him into a qualifier.
