Wait, what, this isn't the thread about most unlikely RB to make a WC-squad?Think you misread the title of the thread, mate.

Serious, I understand Naughton is on standby for WC.

Seriously, I understand Naughton is on standby for WC. And since I'm not supporting England in the WC, I don't mind if he makes it all the way to one of the pitches.
You are right, that was false. Seemed legit at the time to me.Where d'ya hear that?
Well he has been playing in first team since Walker has been injured, so how else can you judge a player, you can't really judge them if there not playing. A really good fullback should be able to play either side, just look at Azpilecueta , Ivanovic , Zabeleta & even Flanagan & Johnson who I don't particularly rate, have managed to play Lb & done a job for the team without turning into a bumbling wreck. Some of the best Lb's have been right footed Irwin, Brehme, Maldini,S Fachetti & De Sciglio currently playing at Milan is right footed, so it's a cop-out to excuse poor positional sense & technigue on playing on opposite side of pitch . I do think a professional footballer in the supposed best lg in the world should be able to use his opposite foot adequately & it shows up what is wrong with the coaching of kids in England.Well, he's not a first team player, is he? Walker's been injured a lot in the second half of the season, but normally, he's one of the players who spend the least time at the physio's office. And why is it som worrying that he can't play on the keft? Do we expect all our players to be two footed and capable of playing on both flanks? Are any of our other full backs in that category?
He's better than walker
Walker is just like Lennon a lot of huff and puff with little application.
Who would win a 1 on 1 football match in the playground? Walker would destroy Naughton. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have a word with themselves
