31 year old Phil Jagielka is another old head in the squad.

The squad is full of old heads. Too many with the inclusion of Lampard.

I am actually quite pleased with the squad. I think Hodgson has made the right decisions, and it is great to see the likes of Ox, Sterling, Barkley and Shaw all going. I think going with a young squad is the way forward.

Now can Roy can get the best out of them, I somewhat doubt it.

The upside is that we have a lot of pacy younger players that we can have give everything for 60 mins then have someone of very similar quality come on in place.

Ox, Sterling, Lallana

Barkley, Henderson, Milner(not young but will bust a gut and be a team player)

we'll need to rotate effectively to deal with the climate and have high impact subs.

Milner has actually been playing very well recently. Changed the game at Anfield.

Spain and Brazil must be quaking in their boots.

england defence and goalkeepers are good. The rest of the team is embarrassing. Worst midfield chemistry for players to choose from. I knew carrick shouldn't have played in those qualifiers, he came back to england on promise to be a part and got used again for average players like gerrard, Barkley, lampard on current form. I never understood how the best passer in the league in carrick gets dismissed for kick and rush poor passing positional players like gerrard.

Average players all of the 3 are better than carrick. kick and rush lol thats a typical man Loser fan answer. Gerrard is Englands best player of his generation, and Carrick has had a poor sesaon hence hes on the standby list. If u took Gerrad out and replace dwith carrick they struggle big time.

Whereas now, England are world-beaters(!!)

Gerrard is nto the best player of his generation by any stretch, particularly for England.
