Carrick can just loft all the free kicks back to Hart. At least Hart will hoof the ball out for a throw rather than skipping over it like Carrick's club GK.

Why bring somebody in for free kicks when England have...

Big club favouritism yet again, disgusting!

It's a friednly too right? Great chance for the likes of Sterling & Routledge but I don't think Zaha is ready yet.

Barry's been playing well and he really should be in there. I never thought I'd say that!

Carrick/Cleverly/Gerrard/Lampard have all been playing well recently tbf on that one.

I don't think anyone's questioning those guys. It was the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Smalling etc.

honestly i wouldnt mind lampard being given a break

stay on the bench or dropped altogether

completely ridiculous for a 34 year old to be played so much, especially in an international friendly where the manager should be trying out new guns

england had over 10 years to make Lampard and gerrard work together, it bombed every time. Fuck it and move on to the next guy

also, does england even have a standard captain or starting 11 anymore?

So we could possibly see Carragher trying to defend againts Aguero or Tevez come sunday.

It's true. As an Arsenal fan, I was quite shocked that The Ox got called up. He hasn't been in the team recently as Theo and Podokski have both been on fire. Not sure why Smalling been called up either but I guess there's not many options for England. Delighted Wilshere is back in the squad, he's been amazing!

Lambert should at least get a call up, provides something different, I know his 30 but still. Good form.

And surely Jack Cork should be looked at as a defensive midfielder possibility. I mean who plays that role, Carrick?
