England squad - No Lennon

And yet we've got Walcott and Downing in there.

Is it me or has Lennon not been forgiven for having a poor World Cup eventhough the rest of squad didn't either and they have?

If he can't get ahead of cack like Downing and Walcott he has no chance internationally. Sure, as a Spurs fan I'm happy to see he'll not be overplayed and risked picking up an injury, but it's still incomprehensible he's overlooked compared to these others.

All good points!

From what i have seen this season anyway, Lennon is actually trying to score himself and take people on, sometimes in the past when he has been struggling he always looked to pass the ball instead of taking his marker on...would rather him cut inside and lay the ball off than cross it at the moment as Ade cant header a ball to save his life !

But your right...the less our players are talked about the better, so Lennon is rubbish !

5 's Spurtle!

RRP - Thanks

Chicken that's quite true. We can't expect wingers to be robots who consistently deliver balls in that could land on a coin. Lennon is not really any worse than the best of them for it.

Capello made lennon the scapegoat for the world cup, he played him in first two games against teams that played with 11 men behind the ball and doubled up on Lennon, then against Germany , a team that will give you space to play.. he dropped him

Im glad he is not in the team for some stupid friendly before we play Utd

Is this basically a Spurs article finally admitting Walcott is better than Lennon?

How the hell does Walcott keep getting picked for England, he is not fit to lace Lennon`s boots.

Lennon, when fit, is an integral part of a team going for not only the league but also the FA Cup.

Walcott is a sometimes 60 minute player, whom cannot even command a regular first team place in a very poor Arsenal side.

And Downing.

31 - I think Andy Gray just added to the whole "final ball" thing, if you ask the average person in the street about Lennon, the first thing they will say is "he needs to work on his final ball", and thats not because they even watch him play, but what people always say about him, will probably stick to Lennon for the rest of his career even though its incorrect
===========================

his crossing as dodgy though before the CL qualification season in which he as outstanding. he has never really regained that form IMO.
