With a double fracture of the jaw. Liverpool's Martin Kelly has been called up as his replacement. Breaking news on SSN.
I think it proves that Rio Ferdinand wasnt left our for 'footballing reason' as he should be called up now as his replacement.
Not being funny, but what has Micah Richards got to do to get called up. Pisses all ove glen Johnson at right back and covers centre half too
Mancini doesnt even trust him for man citys big games thats why, he isnt as good as folk like you make out.
Martin Kelly, Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing, Andy Carroll... Did Liverpool have a much better season than I thought? Jay Spearing probably next in line if Parker fails to come through.
Young and untried players, downing excepted, which is what weve all been crying out for isnt it? better than selecting the same squad biannual
I'm sorry, but I've not been crying out for players who've had a crap season for Liverpool to be called up to the England squad. Liverpool get torn apart at right back every fecking week, and we've picked both of their right backs!
so we should pick the usual tripe that has failed in every tournement? new blood was required and new blood has been delivered. In Roy we trust!
Micah Richards would have been new blood. Aside from which, do we really need another defender on top of Jones, Johnson, Lescott, Terry, Jagielka, Cole, Baines? What system are we going to play? If you don't want Richards, take Adam Johnson, or Daniel Sturridge - players that might give us an extra dimension when we inevitably fall behind. Why take Kelly, who alongside Henderson, will more than likely never get near the pitch?
The Belgian player that put 2 hands in his back and purposely shoved him into Hart should have been sent off. It was a deliberate attempt to injure him, it was dangerous play. If he had made a 'tackle' with the same intent he would have gone. Hope he is happy with himself.
if it was 7 man utd players we would be saying the same thing, does it matter who their club team is? its about making them England United!
The team they play for is irrelevant, the fact some of the Liverpool players are dogsh.it would be a minor concern if I cared about England anymore.
Massive blow. That was the only area of the team that looked solid, Cahill, Terry and Cole. Why do we always lose important players before tournaments, either through accidents, fouls or in this case deliberate shoves? Don't often see Spain, Holland or France losing their stars! As for kelly, strange one. Done nothing for Liverpool as of yet, rarely plays, not a centre back. Rio or Richards for me, although Rio's absence is to be expected.
"Like" And who the **** is Martin Kelly? - shows how little attention I pay to the Prem these days - I've never heard of him.
Just said on sky sports Richards didn't want to go unless he was first choice and didn't want to be a stand by player. Who does he think he is??!!
