What a fucking joke. It's great Osman's got a call up at last but it's too late like Seabs said. At least he's there on merit unlike Shelvey, Sturridge & Bertrand. Bertrand especially, what a piss take. Only the other week on Soccer Saturday they were talking about players from big clubs getting in the England squad because of their club and not their form. Those three aren't anything close to being regulars. Sterling you can make a strong case for because he's in form and playing every week and Adam Johnson isn't doing anything at Sunderland right now.
I don't think Wenger will be too happy to see Wilshere in there and I don't know if it's too soon. He's quality and the future of our midfield so it's a tough one to judge. Shelvey getting in ahead of Mark Noble for example say is ridiculous. Bertrand's the worst of the lot. At least if Moses was called up you can say he's got real talent and looks like being a decent international player.
I mean he's not great, got shredded last night but seeing as Cole is out, might as well include him
You know what this is? this is racism man. people are just scared they have to deal with another 8 years with a black man as left back. just like they booed Cole all the way
Who cares if Bertrand is called up? He's not going to play. Baines clearly will.
Sturridge I can understand why people question this. He hasn't played many minutes and when he has, he has sucked. He may get minutes, so yeah, he should not be in the squad.
But Bertrand or any other left back that isn't named Baines aint gonna get 1 minute, so why bother to whinge?
Cos we Brits do it so well! I forgot Gibbs was injured, and if anyone deserves a shot at left back it's Ridgewell. He's been superb for West Brom this season there. We all know what Baines can do. With it being a friendly they can both play 45 minutes or even give Ridgewell a go from the start.

Ok, fair enough. I can understand that. But I don't think it'll happen. Think Baines will get the full 90 minutes.
Plus, Baines is still second choice (maybe he deserves to be first choice, as Ashley has been fucking shite for the past month or so), so he will still want to play as many minutes as possible.
Crystal Palace winger Wilfred Zaha called up to England squad for friendly v Sweden along with Carl Jenkinson and Tom Huddlestone. Very surprised at all three inclusions to be honest, it is a friendly I suppsoe.
In my opinion i think he could be better than all of them and i'd rather have someone young and exciting who will add something different in the united side now over fucking ashley.
Can actually take on a man with dribbling ability and beat them and not just kick and run perhaps? On form, he's the best right winger England have to offer. I personally don't care if he plays though as we seem to have a tendency of getting our players injured when they play, luckily he has pulled out of the squad.
I like lennon but he's a tad inconsistent but so are alot wingers and especially english ones.
Really i don't give much of a toss about england especially in friendlies just be nice to see some fresh faces which we have been and hope it continues.
Yeah, consistency has been Lennons problem. He has very much improved under AVB, but he flourishes in a 4-4-2 as opposed to the 4-2-3-1 we seem to be playing at the moment. Was anonymous today against City.
I agree. I mean this is an absolute pointless friendly, why it's being played randomly this week is beyond a joke.
I'd be happy with the team Nige posted to be honest. Nice 90 minutes for Wilshere before the North London Derby on Saturday. Hopefully Caulker isn't troubled at the back even though he probably won't start. I won't be viewing though, for obvious reasons.
Zaha is better than Ince and it's highly unlikely that he'll turn out like other English wingers, he's not just pace, with the ball at his feet he's one of the best players I've ever seen. It's hard to judge him unless you're a season ticket holder at Palace as all the Championship coverage there is, is 30 second clips of goals. You get people judging him on goals and assists, which doesn't even paint half the picture, near enough every goal that Palace have scored this season Zaha has played a big part in it, the space he creates alone doesn't show up on stats.
If Hodgson let's him play his game and not keep him compact like Pearce does for the U21's then he'll show everyone what he can do. He's already tormented Sweden's left back this season too!
International friendlies don't tie a player to one nation. Zaha, Jenkinson and Stirling could play on Wednesday and still represent other nations.
