JRM Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 Ward-Prowse just superb He was. Delivery from free kicks showed he can bend it like Beckham, if he starts the season well for Saints he'll be called up for the full England squad again, Southgate is a big fan of his.

Jez Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 https://youtu.be/Zq7lqELJdD0 Blimey - I know that was the highlights reel but it could have just been JWP highlights - barely a chance created in the game that didn't come from a cross of his!! I hope he can be that consistent for us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he played really well, made himself available, looked to pass forward and his dead ball delivery was a bit special last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure about that to be honest, but you're right he is a top player. It occurred to me last night while watching him, I wonder when other clubs will come in for him - wonder what sort of price he would fetch. Not looking to offload or anything - just wondered.

I've been reading thread after thread running him down, all season. I've been led to believe he's useless. On the other hand, maybe I've been right all along, saying he's the quiet cog in the machine that makes it work. Along with Davis.

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk I've never really encountered such an exaggerated player. His criticisms at times are so bizarrely over the top but so are the quality of his set pieces at times. I think he has been very solid for us this season and its hard to believe he is still so young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 25 June, 2017 Share Posted 25 June, 2017 Ward-Prowse is one of the elder players at the tournament - and while he's certainly played well, his physical limitations aren't nearly as apparent in the company of younger kids as when he plays with adults. If he's really to kick on, it will be how he copes in high paced, physical games against men that defines him. Too many matches last season passed him by because they were just too quick and aggressive. The Man City game at home was a particular low point - he was second (at best) to absolutely everything, knocked off the ball time and again, and was subbed having contributed precisely nothing, aside from looking lost and bewildered as players and ball zipped around him in a blur. He still doesn't have a settled playing position, because he can't do the defensive work of a deep lying central midfielder (his natural home), is way too slow to play on the wing, and not nearly creative enough to play as a 10. There's a player in there, no doubt, but let's not kid ourselves: he's got a hell of a long way to go yet. I suspect Germany in the semis will be quite a step up for all the England lads after coming through the weakest group by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Germany in the semis will be quite a step up for all the England lads after coming through the weakest group by far. I think this is a fair comment. When you look at the other players in the England set up, or even at past squads, there is a question mark of how good they are or will become. That being said, it seems churlish to either knock or refuse to credit him for good performances. It all helps his confidence and development.
