After yet another England disappointment this week I really find myself frustrated as time and time again the England squad and team is picked on reputation rather than current form.
For Hodgson to pick Joleon Lescott and Chris Smalling as the starting centre half partnership is nothing short of a disgrace. I know we have injuries however Lescott does not even play regular first team football, and Smalling is a promising player, yet is still 4th choice at his club.
We keep hearing that an England squad will be picked on current form and will not be a 'closed shop' available to only the so-called elite. Yet time and time again this happens.
For me based on this seasons form I would pick the 11 players below to represent England:This might not be the best 11 individuals but the certainly deserve a call up.
Ben Foster
Leighton Baines
Steven Taylor
Rio Ferdinand
Carl Jenkinson
Jack Wilshere
Michael Carrick
Joey Barton
Theo Walcott
Rickie Lambert
Wayne Rooney
