Rooney again showing he is massively overrated.....Cue second half hat trick

The media love him for some reason. They won't. I'm not actually sure he's an improvement over McClaren.

At least the international break is over for now, for about a month anyway.....although the friendly away to Scotland should be alright.

What the fuck have Carrick, Lambert, Walcott and Townsend done to deserve a callup? Good to see Berahino is there
Poe
Nathan Dyer is the only player I'd argue that is in good enough form to warrant selection and even then - is he even any good?
Charlie Austin maybe too.
England aren't a team that can afford to pick players on form anymore - you have to pick the best possible players regardless if they're performing for their clubs or not.

Barry > Carrick, Dyer > Walcott (going by form, Walcott's played about 10 mins in 9 months), Austin > Lambert (offer the same style, Kane might've been useful but not the same 'mould' as Lambert), anyone > Townsend.
Still no Shawcross either, which is a bit shit
Poe
Barry and Carrick are non entities in that squad for me - both too old and shouldn't really be playing for England. I'd rather have Barry though, you're right - we don't play with a 4-3-3 and a defensive midfielder though, so that's pointless including him as he's nowhere near mobile enough to play in a 4-4-2.
Slashman X
But Walcott hasn't played in 9 months, who knows if he'll even be fit enough. At least have Dyer in there as a backup.
Noble instead of Barry then, or even Cork. Rather than repeatedly trying to shoehorn Wilshere into a DM role
Poe
England don't play with defensive midfielders ever - it's part of the reason we're so poor. People like Cork will never get a start over Henderson and Wilshere regardless of what they offer.
Slashman X
At this moment in time, Dyer is better than Walcott and Barry/Noble/Cork are better than Carrick regardless of playing a proper DM or not. You're saying Townsend is a better player than Dyer?
Poe
Walcott is better than Dyer, too. Regardless of how fit he is.

Disappointed by the lack of Catts, AJ, Rodders and Wicks though.
And how come Barkley isn't in your list with Walcott and Carrick.

I really wouldn't be surprised if we signed Shawcross in January and he went straight into the side.

TBF though, has there ever really been a period of time when England picked players based on form? It's always been the same players picked, irrespective of how they were performing for either club or country. Once upon a time there were those who wanted mainstays like Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, A.Cole, etc dropped for lesser players who were either in better form or would provide a more balanced system.
These days the pool of quality players England has to select from is dismal, so it definitely makes more sense to base selection on form rather than reputation. Even if it does mean selecting less talented players on occasions.
