I would like to think so but the way Toney won and took what was a pressure penalty may well have clinched it for him and to be fair to Southgate given how important penalties have come both in games and afterwards with penalty shootouts his exceptional record as opposed to Ollie’s mediocre...
Toney wins and scores equalising penalty not good news for Ollie as one area where he himself struggles is with penalties. Toney being the complete opposite with an exceptional penalty record.
Listening to Southgate interview ahead of game tonight judging from what he said it would suggest that he favours Toney over Ollie but of course only time will tell if Kane is still struggling for fitness I guess if could be possible that he will select both for his squad
Agreed although I can never really forget or forgive his behaviour after his rolling contract was changed in particular his approach to the play off final against Coventry. Such a pity because when celebrating the 20 years of Trust ownership he should be at least recognised for the huge part he...
Being very prejudiced if, as I think more than likely that, Toney starts against Belgium hoping if he does that he will fail to score and Ollie can come on and redeem himself. It could be that a place in the squad will be decided by just a vital single goal and whoever is lucky enough to scores it.
I had exactly the same feeling and that Brazil would be a hard nut to crack. It was a real pressure situation for Ollie knowing that his place in the Euro squad probably depended on him scoring against a very good team.
Agreed the way the team was set up and tactics adopted certainly did not help him I think odds on certainty Toney will start against Beiguim and if he does score he will given a ticket on the Euros plane and Ollie will unfortunately miss out.
Disappointing performance all round Ollie played full 90 plus not sure whether he will start against Belgium. Did not think he had a great game but then neither did the team in general was a bit surprised Toney did not come on but can see him starting the next game. Would we have done better...
Completely agree this is not going to be an easy game in which for any England player to impress Brazil playing well not taking any prisoners and looking dangerous on the break. Ollie has been running the channels well but has only had that one chance to speak of so far.
Ollie starting and very much the man of the moment in channel 4’s coverage tonight hoping he is really able to perform to his best and make up Southgate’s mind for him.
Intriguing possibility whoever he plays will have a great opportunity to cement their place in the squad. Hopefully it will be Ollie and with any luck he will then be able to push Toney out of the picture…….only time will tell.
Many congratulations to him a colourful and varied career to say the least. When arriving on the scene looked to be the next player to come off the academy production line then had an injury and struggled to get back any form. Went out on loan a couple of times before eventually finding his way...
Personally I think it is utterly ludicrous to take points off any team unless or until it does actually go into administration.
What is the point it only makes the whole situation on the playing side more difficult to manage.
