Why is Noble not in the England set up?

Or have I missed it? He's a terrific footballer, worthy of a place in the squad in France.

 

There has been a wave of support for his selection. But you know glass legs Wilshire, Oxlade and the like will get the nod, despite non existent seasons.

 

He seems to attract yellow cards maybe?

 

Because he's not good enough & will only get in if we have an injury crisis

 

Cheers for clearing that up for me.

 

It's nothing personal against the lad, he's a decent player & has looked better this season with better players around him but for me & many others he's not international quality.

He reminds me a bit of Leon Osman who after years of steady but not spectacular performances for Everton managed to get an England cap, it'd be nice if Noble got the same but I wouldn't want to rely on him in a major tournament

 

Hear what you're saying, but in the right system (and I think we're playing the right system) he'd do well for England allowing Alli, Barkley et al to play. Better option than Wilshire presently.

 

Roy will do what nearly every other England manager before him has done and pick some players on reputation and not on current form. Some players appear to be bullet proof despite having mediocre seasons.

 

I'd be surprised. He is definitely behind Kane and Vardy imo and possibly Sturridge and Defoe. But I would still take him.


As for Noble he is behind the likes of Dier Henderson Alli Milner Barkley for a central midfield spot

 

I wouldn't bet against it.
