Harsh to say perhaps but this news has really filled me with confidence about England in a few weeks.
The guy is the most negative player in the squad! Parker is more defensive and still has more flair - imo we don't need both and I'd sooner take another striker.
Barry's performance last night (*albeit brief) began with him getting roasted by a nobody, committing a foul (which he got away) and then was marked by shocking pass after shocking pass - Please don't let me be the only person who has noticed this!?
Barry hasn't got the legs for international football, hes not a bad player, just simply not an international footballer. I'd prefer Barry to Henderson though.
Adam Johnson is a cracking player. I'm not sure hes played enough this season to warrant a place in the squad though. I would take him ahead of Downing, Henderson & Barry though,
Harsh on Barry, very under rated player in my opinion. There's a reason he was one of a minority that played virtually every game in a premier league winning side.
He's just not as hungry anymore ,when he broke through from villa he was immense ,his passing used to be so accurate and inventive and he'd take a potshot now and again,but he's made the gravy train of international success and club football at MC,of course he may have been asked to play that role combining with Lampard ,Gerrard.
