Johnson should be given a chance

Cleverly is the biggest waste of space on a football pitch

Livid that Cleverley is even being considered... Jay Rodriguez isn't good enough and why are we using 3 left backs??! Do we not have a CB that needs a bit of international experience other than Cahill and Smalling?!!

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Is it?

How many times have luke Shaw, Raheem Sterling and Ross Barkley palyed for the England first team?

 

[Albumen]

Henderson, Gerrard, Sturridge, Sterling - all part of the highest scoring team in the Premiership. Surely good for England? Tell Rooney to play the Suarez role (apart from the biting) and you may have England winning things. That said the useless ******* in charge won't see it that way. Simple. Innit.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I'm quite excited by the squad actually. I think we have some very talented, in form youngsters there.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Good squad apart from Cleverley who is GASH. Not sure why we need three left backs though

Because one of the left-backs isn't playing at all and the other is still recovering from an injury.

Good squad but no way Cleverley shoud be in there, and i would have liked Adam Johnson to be given a chance.

That's exactly my thinking. We should exploit the understanding they have and maybe the England team won't look like a bunch of strangers for once.

A point made by [MENTION=6109]rusty redeyes[/MENTION] last night - if Cleverley played for a Cardiff or a West Brom, he would not have a SNIFF of being in an England squad.

Why no Barry ?

 

[Uncle C]

Why no Barry ?

Cause they would have to pay BHA another instalment of his transfer fee.

 

[Foolg]

SEVEN central midfielders, of whom only 2 will play at a time.

One of whom is Tom Cleverley, which means that arguably the most in-form English player, Adam Johnson, misses out.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Is it?

I was about to type almost exactly the same.

 

[keaton]

Bloody hell, that is SUCH a weak squad - possibly the weakest in my lifetime.

Really?

I'm not sure it's that bad.
We actually have quite a few players who are inform and playing well in the premier league at the moment i'm not sure we had that last year.

 

[seagullmouse]

- we are lucky to have 3 good left backs, I say leave Cole at home and look to future
- Adam Johnson should be in there for Cleverley.
- The rest picks itself

Bloody hell, that is SUCH a weak squad - possibly the weakest in my lifetime.

i've seen far weaker in previous years

there's definitely some good young talent coming through which i haven't been able to say for ages

 

[MattBackHome]

Bloody hell, that is SUCH a weak squad - possibly the weakest in my lifetime.

Depends how old you are, but I would be inclined to disagree: Shaw, Barkley, Sterling, Sturridge, Lallana, Rodriguez, Milner, even Henderson - all either emerging players or players in a rich vein of form.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Its not a bad squad....and I applaud Rodriduez and Shaw getting opportunities.

But how Tom Cleverly is there is beyond me.

For all the joking, Jordan Henderson has been excellent for Liverpool. Even Jonjo Shelvey and Tom Huddlestone deserve callups ahead of Cleverly.

Adam Johnson must be SEETHING.

 

[One Love]

Last tournament, Liverpool had just had a really poor season and he took loads of Liverpool players.


No doubt this season he's going to take loads of Man U. Will he ever learn?
