Couldnt agree more he should have played more times internationally BUT a lot of it was down to himself. As brilliant as he was, he was also a lazy ****. You might get away with it at Southampton like, but not at the top level.
Probably the same as you I was made up whenever he got picked for england so I could see what hed do with better players around him. And each time he done absolutely **** all, other than walk around the pitch carrying a huge nose with him.

He should have left Southampton and moved to a bigger club to prove himself to teh doubters and show his obvious talent on a greater stage.
He was a far better player than a pundit - cannot stand him on Sky Sports."Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob Paisley

To be fair to him though, internationall football is such that you need a decent and regular run in the team normally, to establish yourself...and he never got that.Originally posted by paulcooper4 View PostCouldnt agree more he should have played more times internationally BUT a lot of it was down to himself.

Agree with you mate, but unfortunately in this country unless you play for a big club you dont get a proper run out at international level. Big nose knew that as well as everyone else so he should have played with a rocket up his arse when he DID get a chance. He never did.Originally posted by DJS View PostTo be fair to him though, internationall football is such that you need a decent and regular run in the team normally, to establish yourself...and he never got that.

Absolutely no chance Rafa would give him the time of dayOriginally posted by DJS View PostFair shout about being lazy. IMO any team should be willing to sacrifice workrate in one player, if he's capable of producing the kind of magic Le Tissier was, but it's down to the coach obviously.
I doubt Rafa, for example, would have a Le Tissier in his side.

I was one of Le Tissiers biggest admirers (in a non gay way
), not saying I agree with why he didnt get more of a run but I am saying I understand why he wasnt. And he could/should have made far more of the opportunities that he did get.
In fact, pretty much the same as my feelings towards Litmanens stay with Liverpool.

it sure is.Originally posted by Ron_Mexico View Posthe really was a genius
seems like football is running out of the 'bergkamp-esque" players in favour of stepover gob****es and club footed speed merchants
No more Zola's, Bergkamp's, Di Canio's, Ginola's.....its depressing thinking about it.
