Take out one or two of the youngsters and replace them with the older ones that I've taken out but I can't see why this bunch of players would do any worse than the squad Hodgson has announced.

anyway, England thread >>>>>>>>>>>

With the exception of a few of the older players, this squad actually looks half decent on paper. Although, no manager would be brave enough to try it out now. The defence is ropey and the midfield a bit lightweight, but they would be entertaining to watch. Unlike the current England team.
