Where are James and Drinkwater on that list? Disgraceful!

 

Assume they are that certain to be on the plane the bookmakers didn't even bother to price them up.

Thought I'd whack the odds up for a bit of interest, anyone see a price they like?

 

To make World Cup Squad

 

Gerrard 1/25

Wilshire 1/8

Milner 1/6

Townsend 1/5

Lampard 1/4

Carrick 1/4

Barkely 8/15

Cleverly 8/11

Lallana 11/10

Henderson 11/8

Lennon 7/4

Sterling 2/1

Oxlade 5/2

Young 3/1

Barry 5/1

Morrison 8/1

Huddlestone 8/1

Downing 16/1

Rodwell 16/1

Shelvet 16/1

Henderson at 11/8 is great value considering he made the squad for the Euros and has had a good season for Liverpool.

 

Anybody betting on Gerrard at 1/25 needs their head looking at. Given his age and his recent history with injuries, there's got to be at least a 1 in 10 chance of him missing out through injury.

Barry at 5/1 is the best value on there IMO. He's had a fantastic season at Everton.

Joining the party a but late here but I can't believe some of the stuff on here, especially from Bobby Hundreds. Yes people can argue that we currently have better midfielders than Henderson, that's opinion and I suppose most won't ever agree, but to bemoan the fact he's poor in comparison to other countries is ludicrous. We know where we are as a team, we've known for a long while. We're not going to suddenly produce a Xavi so I don't know why people are worrying about the fact we don't have a player like him. It doesn't matter where Henderson would come in the pecking order for Spain or Brazil or Germany, if he's one of our 4 or 5 best midfielders when the squad is announced he deserves to be in the plane. We can only call up the best we have, it's no good looking enviously on at other countries because they have better.

I think even if we did produce a Xavi he wouldn't start for the national side because he'd be seen 'not doing enough'.

Man marking/getting in the way of a 33 (at the time I think) year old who has just played 90 minutes, isn't really a tough job to do is it? stick a bell on Pirlo's legs and a blind guy could do it.

 

People are saying and agreeing that Henderson is having a good season, but that's not enough is it? You seem to be expecting people to say he is world class and the best midfielder we have ever produced. It's just not going to happen...why? Because its not true.

Whereas he may be playing well this season, and starting to look more like the player he is capable of being, the point still is, is that if he is supposed to be our best central midfielder, as you suggest, then the England setup and acadamys are failing somewhere along the line. He isn't the saviour, he isn't world class, he won't be world class, and as a nation, we should be capable of producing FAR better central midfielders.

 

Well said.

 

Besides, there are still several better centre mids than him.

He wouldn't even get that far.

 

Would have been released by his club aged 15 for being "too small" whilst they try and develop a couple of 6ft lugs who have "power and pace". Seen it all before.

Hope Man City go on and win it, Mourinho's anti football in away games and Chelsea's general vileness is enough to want someone else to take the title.

Just compare the amount of goals they scored under Benitez to Mourhino (this season).

Mourinho plays anti-football in the big games away from home then has the audacity to say West Ham's performance today 'wasn't Premier League football' and in fact 'football from the 19th Century!'

 

He entertains me sometimes but he doesn't half piss me off at other times!

He'll park two coaches in front of the goal at Man City on Monday.
