Its absolutely ridiculous.. that Ashley Young can not get a game. Even in a meaningless game like this one. The kid's been on fire all season and our team dramatically lacks pace. Downing? **** me.
Downing had his chance under McClaren who at least was capable of getting him to perform for Middlesborough, so far he's done nowt for England. Maybe a season without internationals will improve his hunger.
That must be.. one of the slowest national teams ever selected. Certainly the two slowest wingers. They can compete with each other to see if either of them can ever beat a man.
This would have been my starting 11 Hart Johnson Woodgate Ferdinand Bridge Gerrard Carrick Barry Young Agbonglahor Ashton
Agbonglahor, Young and Walcott should have all played. Walcott on the right, Young on the left and Gabby up front. Harsh on Bentley i know but its just what the England team needs at the minute. Youth!
The England team needs pace. I'm sick of watching this rigid, turgid, slow brand of football. I reiterate: Stewart Downing? **** me.
