How on Earth is Neil Taylor in there? Suprised nobody's commented on Sinclaire's inclusion, I would think Britton would be a better choice if a Jack had to be picked instead of Sinclaire

Except hes 29 and he is certianly not better than the other over 23s. Sinclaire im suprised with but he's young and can bring pace. Remember there are lot of England U23 players that arent included due to injuries and having gone to the Euros.

Would bring in Jones/Smalling for Neil Taylor, Brunt for Rose and Rhodes/Fletcher for Sordell.

Jones was in Euros so wont have been picked. Fergie refused to have a united player picked except giggs and I pretty sure Brunt is 24/25. I am suprised Rhodes didnt get picked but I suppose because he only scored in league 1 and isnt the starting striker for scotland

Maybe something to do with the fact we have more young quality british players than most other clubs. And those clowns who dont rate Taylor are clueless, he has been superb ever since he came to us, last season he was exceptional against some of the worlds best.

Or to do with the fact that alot of young english players are either injured or went to the euros or been barred for being selected

Personally I hope the team do well. A few youngsters went with England and it's a shame they can't play in this especially as they didn't have that much game time. Let's see how it goes

Too be fair Neil Taylor has been outstanding for Wales and consistent for Swansea by all accounts

So you'd really pick somebody who's barely played Premier League football for Arsenal, over Neil Taylor, a Premier League regular.

And you'd really pick Ben Marshall over him? He's a winger ffs. It would involve putting Danny Rose back to left back, where he's significantly weaker and has barely played this season.

That's just deluded, you just can't stand us having three players in the team. Neil Taylor is a very good player, for both Wales and us and you know it.

U23 Left back options: Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal), Joe Bennett (Middlesbrough), Matthew Briggs (Fulham)
U23 Wing options: Elliot Bennett (Norwich), Junior Stanislas (Burnley), Marc Albrighton (Aston Villa), Tom Ince (Blackpool), Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace), Nathan Redmond (Birmingham)

I probably wouldn't have picked Sinclair, with options like Bennett, Zaha anad Thomas Ince but Neil Taylor had to be picked.
