He had the chance to make a real statement by NOT picking players. Personally I would not have selected:
Robert Green (West Ham United)
Gareth Barry (Manchester City)
Stewart Downing (Liverpool),
Adam Johnson (Manchester City),
James Milner (Manchester City)
Theo Walcott (Arsenal)
Darren Bent (Aston Villa)
Either because they are off form or because they do not play enough first team football to be selected I would drop them. Perhaps if he had the balls to do that a few of the players would stop looking for an easy ride and the cash and look at themselves a little harder.
I don't agree about Johnson, Milner and Barry who I think have all done well both for City and England, but who would you replace them with? Also who do you pick instead of Green, Downing and Bent (assuming Oxlade Chamberlain comes in for Walcott)?
