I would say that CM is a more important position to fill than RB. IMO Wilshere is world class and although I rate Walker, he isn't as important to the team as Wilshere is.
What we should be moaning about is Lampard going ahead of XYZ. And if I see Cleverly in the squad, well I might give up life.

has walker even started traning ? didnt jack play yesterday ?
He was not out best outfield player, he was the best at showing what i expect our players to show character, heart and determination.

Nah, he was our best outfield player. He always shows heart and determination, even when he plays like a headless chicken.

Yeah but Walker's England's best right back and Wilshere is overrated and inconsistent

I would prefer Walker as England's RB... Glen Johnson makes me nervous as hell every time he goes near the ball... dreadful defender/footballer and dumber than a bag of hammers.
Still, I like the idea of no Spurs involvement in the England team... we have to start pre-qualifiers for Europa end of July iirc.

I think squad utilisation is the key. Taking Smaling and Jones who are not as good at RB but can play there and being able to take more 'match winners' is more important.

I see your point, but I still think Walker is better than Johnson and should have been taken despite his recent injuries. He was superb for us during the first part of the season when the rest of the team was poor

No Tottenham players in the squad (apart from Jermain Defoe). That's got to be the first for a while, possibly as long as I can remember.

It's a numbers game, sadly. With only 23 in the squad and a tournament that could be all over for England in only 6 weeks time, there really is no space for players who aren't currently fit enough to play for their clubs. The likely scenario if they took him is for Walker to aggravate the injury in training and bugger up the balance of the squad. I really can't understand why he and club's medical staff didn't bite the bullet and have it sorted surgically in March. Left to its own devices, this sort of injury is rarely resolved by rest alone.

In theory what you're saying is true, but it doesn't add up. Jones is out for another 3 weeks, and he's been terrible this year, but he's still been chosen. Wilshere has been out for more of the season than not and is only just back while Walker is meant to be back in training now. I agree with you're saying, but Hodgson's picks don't! :/

So who will everyone be supporting in the World Cup? I was only going to support England in the unlikely event they had at least two Spurs players on the pitch. Now I'm going for Belgium or Cameroon.

When the hell did the England team selection have f all to do with picking players in form and structure of the team????
You pick players from the powerful clubs even if they've had a shit season, played 4 comps previous and been shit, are injured, are 36 years old, are 16 years old and never played 1 PL game but are the only English player that club has, if it means playing the same tested and failed system 48 times already or playing people out of position such as one of the best CM this country ever produced on the left wing so we can squeeze him in, then you leave the PL golden boot winner at home because he doesnt play for one of the big boys and when you do give him a cap you stick him left wing and then slag him off for doing f all.
This gentlemen, this is what we do.
And then wonder why we're shit at international football.
I just cant understand it can you?
The only reason Southampton have any players in there now is because we've now so few english players in the big boy teams we've no bloody choice.
You hear the media today saying, I think most people whould have picked a large bulk of that squad. Well of course they would, theres hardly any english players who arent injured good enough to get near the england team.
COME ON ENGLAND

... if the reports are correct, Lallana will be at Liverpool and Shaw at ManU by the time the tournament starts, thus confirming the importance of playing for a "big boy team".

Take Phil Jones (please lol), Smalling or Cleverly (I know he's only back up but even so), if these three were at any club other than ManU, West Brom or Stoke for example (which they probably will be soon as thats about their level imo), they wouldnt have got within a mile of getting an England cap.
Actually I think we have the best squad picked for a long time rather than the same old failures. I just hope Sterling, lallana, Barclay and Sturridge get to show us what they can do.
Gerrard n Milner in front of back 4 and let them run amock and scare the shit out of people.
Yes, no Rooney. He's blown it to many times and no reason to think this time will be any different. I have to laugh when the media mention him in the same breath as Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, etc. Take your glasses off and actually watch how often he gives the ball away. As Hansen would say 'shockin'.
