Myself I think Welbeck hasn't performed well for England recently, and after his good start for United he hasn't done much this season, but with Rooney/RVP upfront there hasn't been much of a chance yet. And he keeps losing his balance in key moments, falls on his arse and laughs which is frustrating.
But it's only October, and I'm a United fan so my slightly negative comments on him are obviously a lie.
Anyone offended by the Townsend comment, as Poe says, is an idiot. And killing off Tina is a bad move.

In one of those games he got MoTM he played a part in conceding two goals.

Nothing to do with race at all

Wilshere/Gerrard wouldn't work at all. They both like to get forward and we are already playing with 4 very attacking players. Carrick offers a deeper role which gives us a platform to build on.
I'd like to see Carrick/Wilshere, we'd actually be able to keep the ball but Gerrard isn't gonna be dropped. He's doing alright at the moment though tbh.

GK - Hart, Forster, Ruddy
DF - Walker, Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Smalling, Jones, Baines, Cole
MF - Carrick, Gerrard, Wilshere, Lampard, Townsend, Walcott, Rooney, Barkley/Morrison/Ox, Welbeck, Milner
FW - Sturridge, Carroll/Lambert
Obviously all depending on club form and if they are fit. I'd love to take a wild card Barkley or Morrison, and I'd take whoever has the best season between them two and Oxlade-Chamberlain. Same with Carroll/Lambert, although if they were similar I'd go with Carroll I think he's got more chance of changing a game from the bench.
Probably missed someone.

They've all been criticised at some point, for not being 'Man Utd quality'. I get the impression that happened at least.
I think it comes with the territory as well, Man Utd are a lot bigger club and people generally want to see them fail more than other clubs.

I wrote out a 23 but it was practically identical to Dutton's
Only points I would make is if Smalling or Jones are going then England might be better off taking an extra winger rather than Kyle Walker.

I just don't think Lampard adds anything to this England team these days. Milner is at least versatile.

Maybe, but Hodgson's not picking the squad finally till the team are in Miami. The advantage of world cups is its a lot easier to ignore the negative publicity at home. Paradoxically the World Cup is probably the time when the England manager is under the least pressure from papers at the same time when he's under the most paper on the pitch.

Good, I missed him.

He's really not slow. Obviously slower than Walcott, Ox and Townsend, but he can still beat many players for pace

6 goals in his last 12 appearances not good enough for you then?
