England Squad

dacads · 19 Mar 2015 at 13:38

Full Squad: Fraser Forster, Joe Hart; Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Nathaniel Clyne, Kieran Gibbs, Phil Jagielka, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling, Kyle Walker; Ross Barkley, Michael Carrick, Fabian Delph, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, James Milner, Raheem Sterling, Andros Townsend, Theo Walcott; Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck

How has Walcott made the cut again ahead of Young?

Also I don't see the point of having three left backs, two of which are average.

The only positive is Kane has got the go ahead, let's hope he delivers.

EDIT: Just noticed Andros Townsend is on the list. Is that a typo?

Haha to be fair he's been pretty decent in International games.. For Spurs on the other hand it's a different story..

With that thinking get Crouch back in the fold

For Welbeck? Wouldn't be a bad move at least we have some sort of threat then!

Also it's a no show for big mouth Berahino..

You would but Hodgson is gonna start with Rooney up front obviously

As I've said I'm not sure about wally boy Walcott he hasn't proved himself but then again hasn't had the chance to, just a shame Young didn't get a look in he has had a decent season.

Milner is a solid team player but doesn't provide much attacking wise so I would start him alongside Henderson in central midfield. Maybe a 4-2-3-1 with Delph or Lallana as CAM?

It's going to be difficult fitting in Kane, Sturridge and Rooney, we'll probably only see one or two of them up front.

Danny Rose in for Shaw.

As a Southampton fan, I'm disappointed for Bertrand who I'm sure plenty of others would agree has had a better season and is probably a better player anyway.

Strange call up for me.

Even stranger Rose is out but still no call-up for Bertrand. Hey at least Clyne is in

Bertrand has finally been brought in, albeit a bit late.

Squad to face Ireland on June 7th for an international friendly and Slovenia on June 14th for a Euro qualifier.

Surprised to see Young not being selected again, how have the likes of Mason and Wilshere got the go ahead? Also not sure Vardy deserves a spot either, Ings has been way better.

Goalkeepers: Green (QPR), Hart (Manchester City), Heaton (Burnley)

Defenders: Bertrand (Southampton), Cahill (Chelsea), Clyne (Southampton), Gibbs (Arsenal), Jagielka (Everton), Jones (Manchester United), Smalling (Manchester United)

Midfielders: Barkley (Everton), Delph (Aston Villa), Henderson (Liverpool), Lallana (Liverpool), Mason (Tottenham), Milner (Manchester City), Sterling (Liverpool), Townsend (Tottenham), Walcott (Arsenal), Wilshere (Arsenal)

Forwards: Austin (QPR), Rooney (Manchester United), Vardy (Leicester City), Welbeck (Arsenal)

Yep, I mean Barkley, seriously?

We are badly lacking quality in midfield.

Ings has scored 10 which is OK, still better than Vardy's 4. Also forgot about Berahino, he probably would have been better than Both.

We could do with a proper winger instead of sticking Welbeck out wide. Townsend has a decent international record so it'd be Walcott I'd sacrifice for Young.
