Bertrand is more versatile. He has played left side of midfield in the past and IIRC he's also played at centre half as part of a back three this season too.

King Jela 20,544 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Reputation over form, it's the way it is, the way it has been and the way it always will be unless someone comes in with the balls to stop it. Is there any reason that Wayne Rooney should be there, or Wilshere, or Delph ? Although you can't really argue with a lot of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick1200 2,832 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Antonio is the big one for me. I was looking at his stats the other day and he has been the best English winger this season. But Townsend gets picked after 1300 mins playing time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney is the Captain and can play in several roles and has a level of experience that others don't, he has also been in decent form recently. Wilshere is there to assess his fitness as for Delph that is a mystery but no more so than Henderson. As I said previously its not a good idea to make wholesale changes from those that qualified comfortably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,572 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 There's a decent team in there, but they lack the top quality that some of the other top outfits will have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 England managers generally have always had their favourites. Michael Carrick was regularly overlooked when he was at his peak, albeit he was competing with Gerrard and Lampard most of the time. Micah Richards too.

'experience' counts for fuck all if you're holding the team back with how bad you are, and he certainly can't play in several roles. He's awful in midfield, awful up front and a waste out wide.

hammer time 653 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 a big fuck you to the likes of Mark Noble from Hodgson by picking a player who has only played 3 games all season, why bother playing all year when he picks one of his favourites who's just back from 8 months on the treatment table Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play several roles, certainly, but he can't perform in them. He's not been in decent form either, 1 assist and 0 goals in the seven games since he's been back and his performances have been poor as well. Hes been playing deeper for United since he came back. I get some will never like him but he's far from shit. Hes had a good qualifying campaign so merits a place in the squad. Not sure why it exercises those from other nations quite so much. I personally couldn't care who other countries pick in their squads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 West Ham have been totally fucked over. The fact not one of Cresswell, Noble and Antonio didn't make the provisional squad is embarrassing. Why Defoe didn't make it is also bemusing.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm surprised they aren't taking Carroll. He's a fringe player that offers something different from the others. He's a good option to have on the bench and allows more scope for a plan B. I don't see the point of taking 3 similar(ish) players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGOH 2,344 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Rooney will most likely start ahead of Dele Alli which would be shocking. Alli is one of the best young players in the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
