I have to say, Capello seems to give people the oppurtunity and then grabs it back from them. After announcing Wheater and Agbonlahor would get a chance, both are cut despite Agbonlahor seemingly certain to play in the first game for Capello (injury ruled him out.) Also cut are Jermaine Defoe, who lets get this straight I have condemned playing for England before, but the the fact his he is in excellent form but Owen retains his place. What has he done?
Robbo is back after conceding 4 against Chelsea whereas Rob Green still has done nothing not to deserve a chance. Robbo has proved time and again that frankly he is shit.
Also dropped are Ashley Young and Shaun Wright Phillips. Not much to say on these two.
I find it strange that these players have the oppurtunity almost given to them only to have it taken away a day later. What is the point of including a player like Wheater which will clearly get the press talking and get the lads hopes up, only to chop him a day later.
Walcott gets in though, and hes played lots of games this season hasnt he. Two goals in a recent game and a cameo in Europe and hes flavour of the month again. Hes got a lot of work to do to convince me thats for sure.
This preliminary squad being cut down is a farce. One days difference between naming 30 players and then 23 players? Where is the sense in that?
