I would have given Holt a place too
Not even sure Gerrard has much to offer anymore either?
Would have much preferred Adam Johnson than Downing.
Someone posted on GMK the other day that Downing's stats say he has had not one single assist all season for Liverpool. Downing is not international standard. Yep, sure, Adam Johnson is a bit hit and miss and not possibly quite up to it either, but he can create little moments of magic.
You can tell he's been on the bench though and not on the pitch, That boy needs some sun.
The one thing that struck me about it was that we only have 1 out and out right back in there-and not one many people have much confidence in either. People say Jones *can* play at right back; well, at international level, you need someone who's in their natural position-it's this area I think Hodgson could regret. Downing equally is a strange choice but generally speaking I don't think there's much questionable about the squad.
In a side note, our stand-by keeper's one of Birmingham's kids who's barely played in the first team-must be one hell of a prospect...
Just a few things stick in the gut for me. Downing the main one. The bloke hasn't got one single assist to his name this season, not one!. That is just terrible. No way he should be on the plane.
Secondly for me, no Micah Richards. Absolute madness to have just one right back. Crazy. I really rate Richards and think he should have been included.
Third and lastly, Jordan Henderson on the reserve list? He has been dreadful all season long.
Instead of who?

Not too fussed about Ferdinand not going but the Richards decision has really annoyed me! Not only is he the best right back in England but in my opinion there's no-one better in the world! Very strong, quick, great attacking runs and solid defensively, can also cover at CB if needed, why Jones and Johnson have gone instead of him is ridiculous!
As for Downing... 0 Assists and 0 goals this season.
Sturridge is better than Defoe and Wellbeck, Crouch should also be in there ahead of Carroll.
Happy Ox and ruddy are going though.
I'm affraid his move to the Sky Blues has stalled his development and career much like it has with milner ,reduced to being bit part playersPlayed 40+ times this season. Tends to be Mancini's go to man. Best English winger by a mile.
