BrettNUFC Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Honestly think FIFA have been parting with Ben Arfa over the summer if he thinks we are going to be challenging for the title and FIFA think there are only two better teams in the world than us. Off there faces on class A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Which of our players have been 'ignored'? Simpson and S.Taylor mainly. Williamson and R.Taylor could have also got a call up based on our position and defensive record last year. Being young and from a London team supersedes all though.

Having ability and potential supersedes tbh, Steven Taylor may have been in with a shout had he stayed fit last season but he is never going to get a call up on the back of a few minutes in pre season . The others you mentioned are simply not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamson and R.Taylor could have also got a call up based on our position and defensive record last year. Being young and from a London team supersedes all though. Why would you get called up based on league position? Simpson is woeful and Saylor's been injured for the last 9 months. There are some daft inclusions in that squad, granted, but including the above four would be even worse. I'm a big Saylor fan by the way, it's just too early for him.

Jack Flash Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm not saying they SHOULD be called up, just that they (Simpson and Taylor) realistically could have been if there was no bias. Our defensive record last year alone should see Simpson get a call up ahead of Ryan Bertrand who is 23 and has played about 5 times in the Premiership.

Jack Flash Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Why would you get called up based on league position? Because our fantastic defensive record was a big reason why we finished 5th and we often had 2 or more English players in the back 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I thought you'd all been wooshed by Jack there. It appears not. Hearing Williamson or Simpson's name linked to international football makes me want to be sick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), Jack Butland (Birmingham City), John Ruddy (Norwich City).

Midfielders: Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Jake Livermore (Tottenham Hotspur), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Jack Rodwell (Everton), Ashley Young (Manchester United). Forwards: Andy Carroll (Liverpool), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), Theo Walcott (Arsenal) Those three should be nowhere near being a Senior England International.

That should mean more than being young and from London. Again though, that doesn't mean they're automatically good enough to play international football. They're helped by having top-class players alongside them who offered a lot more to those fantastic results. The last point is daft really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
