Deserves to be in there over the rest of the overrated pricks that will probably play on the left wing.

No, he isn't very good.

Harsh that, thought he was doing reasonable well for Swansea this season. Better option to have down the left than chamberlain and Young anyway.

Anyone but Downing would be just fine.

Nope, both young and The OX are superior.

Fuck it, lets take a gamble and get the oldies off. What's there to lose? A managerless, captainless England 5 months away from a tournament, and we won't get past the first round after the group stages anyway. Bring in the youth I say.

I feel as if we're weak at left midfield, unless we play someone out of position.

Think this might be the best shot.

Danny guthrie should be a serious contender... Not a mention

Nathan Dyer should be picked over Walcott

I'd rather this too. Seriously.

If you're gonna play a 4-4-2 i'd at least have Rooney partnering Welbeck.

Agreed 100% on that.

Give me the job now

Gerrard is going to start, whether people like it or not.

I feel with Hart in goal, we're instantly a lot better. Our past failure have been down to shit GK errors quite often.

I also think Glen Johnson should be considered at left back. For Liverpool, defensively, he excels at left back for some reason. However, going forward, is he not as good as when he's on the right, but for me, Cole is getting raped too often these days and could be a liability.

You can't be serious. Euro 2012 is a 16 team tournament, if England get past the group stages, which seems likely, they need only win 3 one off games, albeit tough games, and they are the European Champions. If it was a 16 team League then sure, we'd be fucked, but it's not, it's a cup competition, and you don't have to be the best side to win Cup competitions.

Which is why we could do with someone that isn't English. I honestly see Redknapp or Pearce getting the job.

They are both better than Sinclair.

The England team is so poor, expectations are far too high and I honestly don't see them doing much.

There's a difference between poor and not one of the best.

Squad:
Stockdale
Green
Walker
Ferdinand
Jones
Baines
Gerrard
Lampard
Chamberlain
Walcott
A. Johnson
Welbeck

Oxlade Chamberlain is the best English winger (srs).

Wales have arguably got more talent up-fron than us

Piss off! Bellamy is nowhere near as good as Johnson, Rooney's a class above Ramsey and Earnshaw vs Welbeck/Sturridge their both better than him.
Fair doos with Bale.

We don't expect to qualify though, so when we nearly do it's great.

You are all so deluded and actually think that you might get somewhere.
