Mark Noble?

Im done.

Cannot believe the hate Ross gets even from his own fans. It's as though if the lad is not lighting up the prem every week that he's rubbish and doesn't deserve a place in one of the worst international squads in football. What does Alli do every week to keep getting picked? Ditto Wilshere. Nothing that Ross isn't doing, but to get anything like the same type of love from the media and FA he needs to be hitting double figure goals and assists in a season.

I predict Ross will outshine every other English midfielder in the prem this season and will ram this inane decision down fat Sam's throat.

Agree with Carrick and Barry, Drinkwater and Dier are in and probably Wilshire is better but unreliable.

Henderson is a proven failure at international level. Ross should be in the squad no two ways about it. More than good enough.

To be fair like, this is a Fat Sam squad.

I agree about Alli though. That lad is way more inconsistent than Ross even.

Cant say ive watched Liverpool this season, but I do know ive watched Ross and he hasnt been great in my humble view.

He's a reliable engine, which is exactly what this manager wants.

Noble didn't get in did he?

Thought big Sam might have shaken things up a bit, but his first squad has followed the same London centric sky six based media friendly theme as most of his predecessors. The result will be exactly the same.

Thankfully not, hes complete rubbish.

The only person who has earned their place in that midfield is Danny Drinkwater, the rest are sub par.

Milner too. Having an off day today.

Reliable engines win Jack at the international level. Still laugh at him and Gerrard trying and failing miserably to get near a geriatric Pirlo in 2012 and 2014.

Milner is badly rubbish.

I agree, he doesn't deserve it but it's a bit hypocritical coming from you with your hatred of Barry who is one of our top performers.

Maybe that's exactly what fat Sam wants. He's already playing better for us now he's got something to prove and for England who cares if he's good in these nothing games. It's the tournament that matters.
