Whoscored XI

After looking at the England squad that was announced today, feeling slightly empty about it, then listening to people talk/moan about it. In my head this would sound like an old man shouting at people to get off his garden: "blood the kids!!", "I've stopped following England", "Look at the Spanish model!!" (to sum up all I heard). Drove me to go onto whoscored.com and painstakingly go through their best rated English players and compile an England team based solely on this rating system, I have tried to balance the team as best I can and I am aware that Walcott, Jagielka and Jones are injured and believe it or not would all make it into this team. Also I have picked 30 players cause that's what Hodgson did.

Anyway, there are a few strange additions but the bulk of the squad still remains the same. Possibly the best piece of news I could draw from this is that Tom Cleverly doesn't make it into the team, or would be anywhere near it for that matter.
