That made me shit myself when I saw that, he looked up and measured a pass to Lennon straight out of play. It was genius.

I'd actually momentarily looked away from the TV and looked up to see the ball dribble forlornly out of play, I sort of knew who it was before the commentator remarked it was Hudd.

I think he is fine, and certainly a good squad player. He is probably good enough to play at left back in the majority of games, but I think after his performances vs Arsenal and yesterday, not yet against the best teams in that position. He wasn't helped by Bale going walkabouts, or that Parker was usually the nearest player to him which caused them getting boxed in pretty easily, but in truth we looked a better side with a left footer out there to open the pitch up. Personally id have him starting at right back now, but its good to know that he can be an option at left back against 12 or so teams.

Nope I'm Stevie Wonder, yet even I can see that Naughton is shit.
Shit is harsh but Englands options aren't great and I rather have a RB than someone who doesn't know what he is(Smalling)

Glen Johnson will be starting but Jenkinson hasn't been playing recently and then you are looking at Flannagan who spent most of the season at LB

Having Carl Jenkinson in the world cup squad really will prove just how shit England are.

Yet another reason to have virtually zero enthusiasm for England at the World Cup. If Walker isn't fit Clyne should go.

I think I would rather not take another RB than waste a slot on any of those. Or take someone like Chambers from Southampton

If you were to take a Southampton right back wouldn't Nathaniel Clyne be the obvious choice rather than the young and less experienced Chambers?

The second choice right back is never going to play given we will only have 3 games. Clyne is better but I would say his potential cap is lower. Would rather take someone who could be much better in the future.
