The same Theo Walcott that scored 14 goals in the league from right wing and provided 10 assists(more assists than any other winger -not counting Hazard). I think his place in the England team is justified if I'm honest as he has clearly been England's best winger.

Yes the stats look nice and i would still include him in the England squad but he needs to change his game when playing for England. He just runs and runs and runs, he doesn't do anything to beat his man he doesn't shot well and he doesn't pull off a decent pass or cross. He needs to start making an impact for England like he does for Arsenal soon or i think Lennon should come in for him.

No, the same walcott who has flattered to deceive his entire England career since that hat trick. Being England best winger is hardly something to boast about when the competition is downing, young etc.

Only half of those goals and around 6 of those assists were from the right wing.

Just did this, it's a good way to work out your squad while getting to see all the realistic prospects, and getting to see the most popular players to go to the WC.

My squad:

Hart (GK)

Foster (GK)

Butland (GK)

Baines (LB)

Shaw (LB)

Johnson (RB/LB)

Jones (RB/CB/DM)

Cahill (CB)

Jagielka (CB)

Stones (CB/RB)

Gerrard (DM)

Barry (DM)

Henderson (DM)
Huddlestone (DM)

Milner (AM/DM)

Barkley (AM)

Lallana (AM)

Oxlade-Chamberlain (AM)
Sterling (AM)

Rooney (AM/ST)

Welbeck (AM/ST)

Sturridge (ST)

Carroll (ST)

I favoured youth over experience by picking Butland, Stones, Shaw, Barkley, Sterling, Henderson, Welbeck and Ox over the alternatives. For this reason I left out Ash and Frank, as well as Defoe, Lambert and Carrick, I would also have left out Gerrard if not for the fact he is captain.

The rationale behind this is that this is our weakest WC squad in years and i'd rather give vital international experience to young players to give us a better chance at the next few cups.

I also left out players who have been sh*t recently like Cleverly, Carrick, Smalling, Walker, Townsend and Wilshere.

 
Hart

Foster

Forster

Baines

Shaw

Cahill

Dawson

Jagielka

Walker

Johnson

Jones

Barkley

Carrick

Gerrard

Lallana

Milner

Ox-Chamberlain

Sterling

Townsend

Lambert

Rooney

Sturridge

Welbeck

 
Either go for full experience or completely build for future competitions, we will never win anything with trying to have a good blend of both.

More importantly leave cleverly and welbeck at home

 
Hart

Johnson cahill jagielka cole/baines

Ox Gerrard Barkley

Sturridge/sterling Rooney/sturridge Lallana

Front 4 looks pretty good at least I'd say.

 
So if Ash gets selected, it will be his 4th World Cup. Serious question, how rare is that?

 
Townsend out of the WC with an ankle injury, I wouldn't have taken him anyway though.

 
Well I am one who puts being English ahead of all local affiliations, Patriotic even. This thread is old but valid and interesting how different peoples selection looks now than it did on the first page. Some new players have come into the fold. It hurts me to say but I think Ash should stay home this time and make way for Shaw as a secondary for Leighton.  I like the idea of having someone comfortable on the ball and one who can distribute the ball like Lallana. Wilshere can also do this if he decides to show up(fingers crossed he does). England have the tools to cause all kinds of problems for people with the speed and power we have available. The tactics of the Hodge will be our undoing. No sense in having tools if they aren't going to be used properly.

So look forward to a true display of Park the Yacht and a good old boot it up into the box and pray method. lol

England till I die all the same!

Quality Wire reference there Plokoon. Great show, must rewatch it all.

I realise he is a prick and injured all the time but I would take Carroll. Guy is a beast and given you can have 12 subs in any game then he just might be worth it in a close game, particularly given he can occupy two defenders by himself.

I agree, i'd definitely take him over someone like Lambert who doesn't really offer us anything different.
