England Squad Announced
As Roy Hodgeson sat there and informed us of the team he would be taking to the European Championship I was in two minds. Firstly I agree with taking a younger squad as the "Golden Generation" has nearly finished and we can't keep hoping that they will come through. I still feel Lamps, Gerrard and Cole can do a job however they most likely wont be here for the world cup in two years time so we have to start to build for then also.
However the inclusion of Stewart Downing, Andy Carroll and Phil Jones has had me wondering, non of them have had a good season, Carroll has had probably 5 good games all season and Downing is an embarrassment to watch whilst Phil Jones hasn't been the greatest success since his switch from Blackburn why he would include these players when there are better replacements out there is beyond me, however other than that the squad looks half decent.
Alex Oxlaide Chamberlain has been included so the pressure will be on him and I hope it doesn't cause him any harm to play in that environment, he may still be raw but he is a gifted young lad with the potential to be one of the greats, he is not scared of running and people and will play without fear.
The other big factor is Rio ferdinand being dropped, however at 33 and his own manager saying he would be unable to play every 4 days it's hardly a surprise.
However personally I would take Micah Ricards I don't know what that boy has to do to get in the England squad, why he keeps getting overlooked is beyond me, he is a fantastic footballer and deserves a chance also Peter Crouch would be on that team sheet instead of Carrol, he is proven at international level so why leave him out for a man who has had a shocking 18 months...
Either way there was always going to be upset when it came to the squad, however with expectations so low this year we may do alright.
