How would this team get on? Would you be in favour of an automated selection process for the national team? ???

didnt watch tonight but Barkely seemed very good Friday, so hope this continues. Richards plays at centerback now? i do hope he comes through because the talent we saw when he started years ago was excellent.

Winger Chris Brunt playing at the back for England despite his 52 caps for Northern Ireland is a cracking idea.

FWIW I think Micah Richards deserves another go as he's been playing very well in a very poor side. Dier has been impressive as well, as has Galloway, but they're still young and have plenty of time. James Ward-Prowse & Aaron Cresswell are another two that I think are more deserving of a call-up than some in the current side.

In terms of players that perhaps shouldn't be in the side, Cahill has been diabolical for Chelsea so far this season, Jagielka & Carrick are on their last legs and Townsend & Gibbs barely even get a game at their clubs. Question marks should be raised over all of their inclusions, and of course Rooney's constant inclusion in the first 11.

too many palace players, must be a mistake

Don't worry the reality of Palace players is very difficult in the real world, you can count the caps on one hand

Never forget the time Woy brought Zaha on against Sweden for 7 minutes, after a couple of trips and dives he'd seen enough.

Dier has been playing CM for Spurs, not in defence.

There is a case for players like Puncheon to get a call up to be fair. Why he's been overlooked, while Alli gets called up after 4 games is beyond me.

Oh - and a Micah Richards - John Stone partnership at the back would be worth looking at
