"Who gives a toss what Hodgson saw in Townsend? Plenty of
managers get things wrong."
The FA who hired Hodgson and the entire country who want to see England qualify obviously give a toss. Except you think armchair internet critics' opinions end the debate.
Most Spurs fans I know, who go to game, think Townsend is average and Lennon is better.
I have to say, I'd agree.
Technically he looks pretty average, but hopefully he'll improve.
Not seen enough of Townsend in his favoured position to tell yet.
Also needs to play with a regular starting 11 to see his best form
"23 goals in 31 appearances is a fantastic return. He's also a better finisher than any of our strikers."
Tbf I did say he was a black Hernandez insinuating he was a great finisher. So I did give him just dues for that.
"The FA who hired Hodgson and the entire country who want to see England qualify obviously give a toss. Except you think armchair internet critics' opinions end the debate."
Wow. You really are desperate aren't you? Hiding behind the old "a qualified coach picked him" line.
How many qualified managers are around that possess no clue whatsoever.
As I said, managers get things wrong.
More importantly, Hodgson ain't no Mourinho.
But the fact that him picking Townsend was the best decision he ever made just shows how deluded you are. Lost cause. "Player of the season candidate."
The thing about young players like Januzaj is that they get vastly overrated when they first break onto the scene as people assume that they will only get better. He could very well go on to become a world beater but he could also get found out and struggle.
The same thing happened with us and Sterling last year as he was arguably our best player against the likes of City and Arsenal at the start of the season but he then went off the boil as games took their toll. Luckily for us he's starting to find his feet again but the same could quite easily happen to Januzaj.

Except Sturridge is nothing like Hernandez, both in style and quality. Still talking utter twaddle. May as well compare Walcott and Aspas while you're at it.
I wasn't really comparing them stylistically. Rather what I meant was, bar finishing, they contribute very little to general play.

Hardly desperate. Facts:
-Hodgson knows a hell of a lot more about the game than you. Being an armchair internet critic is the world's easiest job.
-Hodgson's picking of Townsend for England's last 2 qualifiers is his most inspired decision since he took the job and Townsend totally justified it. Your ramblings doesn't refute that in the slightest.
"Hodgson knows a hell of a lot more about the game than you. Being an armchair internet critic is the world's easiest job."
He probably does, yes. But that doesn't mean every single decision he makes is correct. He gets things wrong quite often like every other human being.
He can and will always be questioned. You bringing up the 'Hodgson picked him' so he must be good line is laughable to say the least.

Even Januzaj and Gnabry look like more intelligent and technically gifted players than Townsend.
--------------------------------------------------
"I've actually watched a lot of Januzaj and while he's looked good, there's the typical insane overdrive in the English press. He's not nearly as good as the pages he's creating in the media. And there's no facking way Gnabry has been anywhere near as good as Townsend."
And all of a sudden the same guy has him down as good a talent as Cesc. Can't say I'm surprised at all. I knew he was bit of a Manc. But I didn't have Sheriff down as fickle.

It's easy. When players prove you wrong, you admit it and move on. Rather than your crap about Sturridge when everyone with a clue can see his quality.
"It's easy. When players prove you wrong, you admit it and move on. Rather than your crap about Sturridge when everyone with a clue can see his quality."
So in the space of 3 months or so, he went from 'overrrated' and "not as good as the media have him down as' to a young Cesc level talent?
I do know players prove people wrong and whatnot. Ramsey being the perfect example. But that's quite a change of heart man.
Pretty much sums you up really.

Ramsey changed a lot of people's minds in the space of 3 months. Engage your brains, bro. My very first comment on this thread stated I've watched Januzaj with the intention of proving how overrated he is (it's what fans like you do), but he's consistently proven me wrong. Very easy to understand but you're impervious to reason.
Read it again slooowly and let it sink in that players prove fans wrong. Only bittter, delusional, jealous or plain clueless fans persist in their views when proven wrong. Like you with Sturridge.
"Ramsey changed a lot of people's minds in the space of 3 months. "
Don't even bother latching on that Ramsey example. I gave you that one.
"My very first comment on this thread stated I've watched Januzaj with the intention of proving how overrated he is (it's what fans like you do), but he's consistently proven me wrong. Very easy to understand but you're impervious to reason."
Nice try. Looking back at your previous Januzaj comment it's clear you didn't rate him that much. This is you just back tracking and talking out your behind as per usual.
You watched him with the intention of proving how overrated he was? What? How does that even make sense?
You post drivel like the above which contradicts itself, then have the cheek to tell people to engage their brain.
Players prove us wrong all the time, yes. But going from you not rating him to Cesc level talent is laughable and speaks volumes for your fickleness.
Are Man U still better than us btw?
Just admit you didn't rate him. Pretty obvious you didn't.
Whatever the hell rocks your boat. Waste of my time. My points about Januzaj are made. You can keep going all menstrual about it.
"Players prove us wrong all the time, yes. But going from you not
rating him to Cesc level talent is laughable and speaks volumes for your fickleness."
And please, stop repeating this patent falsehood. At least, I hope it's just deliberate mischievious misquoting rather than poor comprehension skills. I never said anywhere that I didn't rate Januzaj. Saying a player is overrated doesn't mean you don't rate him. That's your twisted interpretation - certainly not my comment.
Will ignore the rest of the nonsense.
