Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 This seems greedy as we have just had 3 players named in the England squad.. but I'm gutted for Clyney! He is one of our most consistent performers and should be in the squad over Johnson who has been out injured for weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 We can't score for s**t; yet it's our attackers who get acknowledged and our defense ignored. Indeed our attack is as much reliant on our defense, Clyne and Shaw as the aforementioned attacking players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkou Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 Great news, not only for the 3 players involved, but also the young guys like JWP, Luke and Nathaniel who now can see that being at Southampton is not a barrier to getting called up for England. Their time will come. Well done Roy for looking outside the fashionable teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 And even better now I wonder what the chances are we'll see all three of them on the pitch at the same time… Cross from Lallana, headed back across goal by Lambert to be finished off by J-Rod, cue pictures of the three of them celebrating together in England shirts making a perfect desktop picture.

Indeed our attack is as much reliant on our defense, Clyne and Shaw as the aforementioned attacking players. There's a fundamental difference however between picking players because of what they contribute to the whole team, and purely whether they score or not. Jay and Adam especially contribute a huge amount to our pressing game and forcing the opposition into mistakes - while their running with the ball and movement off it could work really well alongside the likes of Sturridge or Rooney who are excellent players, no doubt.

alpine_saint Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 Really pleased for all 6 players named in the England set-up today (though feel a bit sorry for Clyne). Also congratulations to MoPo for nurturing them so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonb Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 Fantastic news for the lads and I'm sure others will feature if we maintain this momentum.

Dr. Kucho Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 ENGLAND NEWS CONFERENCE Hodgson on the number of Southampton players in the England senior squad and Under-21 squad: "There's more there because in our Under-21s there's James Ward-Prowse, Luke Shaw in the Under-19s there's [Calum] Chambers. "You have to give an awful lot of credit to Southampton and of course in the past they can boast some very important players that they have provided to the Premier League, not least Gareth Bale."

Indeed our attack is as much reliant on our defense, Clyne and Shaw as the aforementioned attacking players. True, but equally our defence is reliant on our attack. If there's one player I thought was a shoe-in for the friendlies given his performances and the defciciencies of Johnson and Walker it's Cyne.

Wiggles31 Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 Amazing news!!!! Lallana has been sublime this season. Suprised by JRod but he'll offer England something new.

Wrensup Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 I'm happy he's been called up, jrod that is but Roy hodgeson does annoye me "Danny Welbeck at the moment has been injured. We hope and believe he will be fit to play - but I see Rodriguez as someone who could possibly fill that Welbeck role." Roy Hodgson Why can't a player just be picked for doing well rather than just being an injury replacement. Same thing went for Lambert, Roy just has to make the point that they wouldn't be here if it weren't for injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 I am particularly pleased for JRod, thought he struggled with us at first (but then again that might have been some sort of Adkins effect) but now I see him as one of our brightest prospects.

Morgan should have been selected instead of Mavuba at least, then again Deschamps just does not know what he's doing, unless of course the "quota" system that was uncovered in the dark basements of the FFF with reference to the U21s is secretly applied to the full national side.
