Craig Noone could score every game from now till Rio and he wouldn't go.

Roy has been very sensible this time, he's just called up the 5 left backs :crazy:

Just said on SSN that he wasn't in the original 30 but due to Jagielka and Jones being injured he called him in. Personally I think it would be more beneficial for England to call Caulker up more often as he's only young and definitely has the quality to play for England

Just hope he gets on and puts in a good performance and maybe goes to Brazil :ayatollah:

Me too. With the exception of Jagielka and John Terry, Caulker is the best English centre half in the Premier League. Smalling is a better fullback, and Jones is a better holding midfield player than centre halves.

Hull fans are bitching about Caulker ahead of Curtis Davies :lol:

No Huddleston but Cleverly is in. Same old England, pick on the teams reputation not players ability.

No Adam Johnson or Gareth Barry either. Cleverly must be grinning from ear to ear

The thing is tho he's not capable of that because he's not that good.

Only downfall for Davies is his age. Apart from that, he's been as good, if not better than Caulker this season.

I do feel that Caulker should be in the squad to give him the experience of training with an international team, but he's not ready to be starting for England in any way, shape or form.

I don't know many players who have ripped Pablo Zabaleta and Kolorov apart in one game. Give the boy credit, he's been exceptional at times this season. We're not half the side when he doesn't play.

He needs to stop backing off if he's going to get a full cap

Let's hope he has more success than the last England player we provided ;)

Wishing he'd stayed put, I bet! :laughing6:

The fact you called Smalling a better fullback shows how much you know. He's dire there, he is too defensive focused for a fullback and god damn awful in attack. He is best played as a CB, and there's no way Caulker will get the nod over two United defenders.

Jones is also a better CB in general. He is wasted at DM.

Strange isn't it that Caulker is in but Michael Dawson who was preferred at Spurs wasn't selected.
