Looks like old "big club" Woy has picked jack wilshere who has played 4 minutes of football in the last 47 years over drink water who has played well all season and barely missed a game. Sends a big message out that form or ability doesn't matter, it's your media profile will get you picked for England. |  |

or he's picked someone who has - when given a chance - performed very well for him in the past in a role he has in the team - over someone who is unproven at international level
not saying either is right but there's definitely 2 ways of looking at it
If I was an England fan I'd probably prefer to have Wilshire rather than Drinkwater in my team |  |

yep, the old big club bias strikes again, over looking Noble was a joke and now not taking Drinkwater. Hope to god we smash them |  |

I'm not an England fan but if I was I would have preferred Drinkwater. |  |

Of course it is,Wales are taking a fella that had a leg fracture three weeks ago and nobody's commenting on that. |  |

Drinkwater for me too, what on has Wilshire done this season to justify in going, shocking decision |  |

It's a very attacking midfield, only really Dier and Henderson who are going to protect their defence. Alli or Rooney will probably play behind Kane and Vardy, with Barkley and Wilshere covering.
If anything it plays into our hands. We are going to be under the cosh against them anyway, this should at least give us chance to hurt them on the break. |  | | |

So playing consistently well for a team during qualifying shouldn't count??? | |

Hodgson is very loyal to those who have done a job for him. As long as wilshire, and Sturridge for that matter, satisfied his medical team I expected both to go. | | | |

Wilshire has played three times this season, Drinkwater has had a fantastic consistent season, he played the qualifying games the season before, wouldn't surprise me if he breaks down before the Wales game | |

Except Scotland, obviously due to not qualifying.
And all the other home nations who are potentially rivals to us winning it all.
And England. Coz it's Ingurlund innit. | |

Maybe because England have a far greater choice of players to take.
Whereas, we have to take the risk on injured players or be looking at TNS or Connah's Quay for "top flight" players.
And to Highjack
Whilst England continue with their policy of picking players from the big 5/ 6 clubs, no matter if they're playing, playing well or failing miserably, purely because they play for one of these clubs, then...
abject failure at every tournament.
IMHO. If England, with the quality of players they have in the PL and Championship, aren't capable of putting a squad together that can consistently get to the quarter or semi finals, then the manager and coaching methods are failing miserably.

Looking at the season as a whole..
Wilshere
Henderson
Rashford
Sturridge
Stones
should be nowhere near the squad.. reputation strikes again..
Drinkwater
Carrick
Noble
Defoe
Deeney
Albrighton
Can count themselves unfortunate to be over looked... Cahill and John Stones are lucky that England are blessed with rubbish centre halves |  |

Drinkwater has played well this year in a system that suits him. Leicester only averaged 35% possession. England play a more possession based football and in the 2 friendlies that drinkwater has played he's look a little out of his depth in my opinion. I think dier is the better player anyway. | | | |

agreed, but England certainly do no play the possession game, retaining the ball has always been their weak link | |

Drinkwater every time, 3 goals and 8 assists, a great long ball.
Roy is an idiot to persist with the "Big Club/Big Name" culture and ignore current form.
England can never play at their best if they don't take the best. | | | |

Exactly. If rashford played for Sunderland and Defoe played for United Defoe would be on the plane.
Oh well. Fuc em. | |

None in either list are true international quality. It's no wonder England are generally quarter final fodder everywhere except in their own heads.
(just to cover my crack, Greece proved that a non international quality team can win something by the law of averages, so if Engertoss do miraculously win, that'll be why.) |  |
