Missing/Injured England players

Are we now talking about a hypothetical 23 man squad consisting of the missing/injured England players being better than the England squad that is going?

GK:

Ruddy
Foster
Robinson

DF:

Richards
Walker
Ferdinand
Smalling
Dawson
King
Gibbs
Kelly

MF:

Lennon
Johnson
Barry
Lampard
Carrick
Rodwell
Wilshere
Huddlestone

AT:

Holt
Crouch
Bent
Sturridge

It might be weaker defensively but I would probably be more enthusiastic about taking that squad than the one we're taking.

Thoughts?

My team would be:

Hart

Johnson
Terry
Lescott/Cahill
Cole

Parker
Jones

Young
Gerrard
Welbeck

Carroll/Rooney

Obviously Rooney in place of Carroll when he's fit.

Not bad. Looks similar to mine with a few changes. Would play Jones or Milner in that role next to Parker.

It is shocking. I don't think there is any other team in world football who has this situation.

no matter how hard you try, it looks rubbish regardless

Wouldn't it make sense to make up a list of players that didn't include injured ones? Players who are injured aren't going anyway, so this list is a little inaccurate as a alternative team...

song - I wasn't necessarily trying to highlight Hodgson's bad choices out of the players he's left, but also the bad luck from the injured players.

Still interesting to see the team we're left with compared to the one that's going. And now of course this team is a little stronger with Cahill.

Gotcha... ignoring injuries, it does make for interesting reading. I for one would much rather see that team!
