Drop all those too old for 2014 World Cup and try to have a good tournament (quarter finals?) in Euro 2012. Lampard and Terry being out for these first two games can only be a good thing for looking forward.

Got to play Walcott, A Johnson, A. Young, Hart, Dawson and Lescott at the minute. Upfront would like to see Zamora and Bent with Crouch on the bench.

Barton is scum but deserves a look in if you ask me.

Defoe I'll allow as he is a damn good finisher. Got 17 in 38 for the yids this season, so his lack of game time says more about Redknapp than it does him I think.

No Richards and no Carrick is laughable. As are Downing and Carroll.

Has Hodgson only been watching West Brom matches this season? Surely Gary Neville and the rest of the staff mustve told him how shit some of them choices are.

Carroll is an on and off player,and most of the time he's off and Crouchie's more consistent and is used to playing for england.

there is room for both. downing is a complete waste of a space on the plane.
carroll and crouch are both big lumps you can use for plan b if you need to start bombing long balls up.
space for both.

Carroll over Crouch all day long, but Jones over Richards is taking the piss as is Downing's inclusion.

Areed! Downing is a waste of a seat,Plan-B always seems to work better for us anyway,but crouchie is the best when it comes to switching it up and always delivers %99 of the time,so i can't understand why he isnt on the plane!

Adam Johnson's done nothing this season. Laughing out loud Would have Richards over Johnson and anyone over Downing. Besides that I can't see what better choice there is for anyone. We're pretty pants.

People underestimate crouch man, easily one of the most skilful english players. (not difficult but nevertheless)

Crouch scores his England goals against shit teams. Carroll is better in the air and on the deck.

Echoing previous comments; no Carrick is disappointing. I'm not 100% as to whether Richards wants to play for England or whether it was just an issue he had with Capello.
