Gibbs. Never really been that impressed with Baines at international level. I accept that Shaw will probably be Englands first choice left back for the forseeble future amd deservedly so but gibbs would be an excellent back up. Still only 25 but has lots of experience at the top level
The thing holding Gibbs back seems to be incessant niggling injuries. Will be interesting to see if he can stay fit and overtake Baines in the pecking order.
What do people think of Huddlestone? Nice range of passing and everything, two footed, yes, but doesn't exactly cover the ground quickly!
Caulker needs to play alongside a more mobile CB but he's great in the air, England player for sure.
Curtis Davies was unlucky to miss out on the squad, Andy Carroll too.. unfashionable names but they deserve a go IMO.
Hudd is quality but pace and agility leave him floundering.. whatever system we played would have to be changed to cover him.. probably the closest we've got to Scholes/Pirlo these days.
Jay Rodriguez, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, and Harry Kane will hopefully be in the squad for France 2016.
whatever system we played would have to be changed

Think this is more important than what players to pick. We need to work on a formation that fits.
We have this kind of discussion at the back end of every World & European Cup - get rid of the dead wood: bring in new talent. Time & time again, this happens and we still fail.
As DJ pointed out: you can have the best English players in the Premiership, but if you can't build on their strenghs and gel them into a team, then you're doomed to failure yet again.
Tactics & formations is key. England managers should stop letting the tail wag the dog, and dump the so-called stars that always flatter to deceive.
well thats not going to happen with woy ^
