why does this guy consistently make the England team?
Last season he played the equivalent of about 12 games in the league, scoring once.
He is ok. He is young and has a lot to learn but surely thats what the U21s are for.
He wasn't even allowed to travel with the U21s this summer, despite being 19, despite having made little impact at Arsenal and even less for England.
I am not touting for the likes of Andros Townsend or Aaron Lennon to be included but both had a greater impact in the EPL last season than Ox.
Ashley Young and Wilfred Zaha also in the squad...really!
Shows how desperate the England situation is IMO

Ox isn't too good for U21. He's not better than Zaha, Sterling or Ince.

And certainly not better than the equivalent of other countries.

Darren TBH Dyer and Downing both had better seasons. There's also Lennon who seems to be ignoed these days.

He's better than all 3 you mentioned tbk. Easily. Guy has 100 pro appearances and he's only 19. He's just going through a period of inconsistency.

Well he's 20 in a week. Bertrand had 150 pro appearances by the time he was 21 but he was actually playing at his level (not suggesting he was anything better at that point), U21, and he did well there. Now he's a sporadic England international, yet in the same position as Ox, a squad player at a top club, and Ox is the one that gets called up regardless of form?

TBK, yeah that's true.
I also agree on Ox. He's pretty average.
