At a totally stupid and pointless time

Exactly, so isnt a rubbish squad a good thing? Noone of the players should even have to play.

Kelly should get a call-up

what a underwhelimg team. netherland player and fans will look at the sheet and laugh

third choice goalkeeper not even first choice player at his club i know everyone likes to mock little england inability to produce good goalkeeper but seriously its that bad???????????

If Wilshere get's played I will go all terrorist on Capello's ass.

Glad to see Richards back in the team, think he deserves at least a chance after a decent season.

Stockdale is on loan at Ipswich and is first choice there.

wow thats almost as bad

i was searching for some english top flight goalkeeper

and i found guys like kirkland

from last 12 months, england have used 7 different goalkeepers in squad callups, 5 of them are currently championship players albeit foster can probably play in epl but carson is more suited to championship

It's only a friendly.. why are people taking the squad so seriously

At first I was


No Bent?


But now its No Bent

Kirkland and Carson.

Champions League winners

friendlies very important for coach and staff to analyze each player more closely and test different combinations and keep the team how u say in english "ticking along"

why should u not be able to discuss team selections?

Wilshere is injured ffs, why risk him in a meaningless friendly?

He's better than Scott fucking Parker.

No.

Should be a win for Netherlands unless they play in England

It isn't as bad as a squad as people make out

This.

I hate the "it's only a friendly" saying. How the flying fuck are you going to know if a team will play well together if they never play a competitive match. The result might not be very important in a friendly but everything else is.

If your team plays shit in a friendly you have time to try and fix what's wrong with the team before the result actually matters.

Mauro, England have been unable to produce decent goalkeepers for years. It's nothing we don't already know.

Bent has a shoulder injury..

What about Joe Hart?

Hart is more than enough if I'm honest, Foster is good too.

I agree as well, it's just the timing of having an international friendly acouple of days before the start of the EPL season is an inconvenience.

Last time we played Netherlands we went 2-0 down to very soft goals and then Defoe beasted them.

It's not like Netherlands are on another planet.....we'll be in the game.

If whoever plays right back instead of Johnson makes one mistake, I'm going to rip into him on Facebook just like my mates (the ones who treat anything said by SS pundits as fact) do with the "Johnson is shit" bullshit.

They're World Cup finalists.

You're not.

Different levels.

Yes, Netherlands and Spain are on planet winners and everyone else has absolutely no chance and will never be "in the game" against either.

They are coming together to make sure their club's players don't play.

Hart had the highest shots to shots saved % last year in the prem. You only need one keeper, doesn't matter if 5 are in the Championship.
