"King not in England squad?"

Disgrace, absolute disgrace if what MoTD said was true!

He should at least be in the squad, stupid Campbell.

And if we lost to Wales, Sven would be criticised for his negative tactics.

Suppose we could have 3 centre backs with Neville and Carragher playing as wingers.

Just hoping Sven plays Carragher left back and Ashley Cole Left Midfield now that Bridge is out.

yes but with the squad we haver selected that is a strong option but still makes king surplus! sven will never play 3 at the back anyway

could play 3 at the back...if we have best players in aposition could be an option

lil bro this is a bit stupid logic, its not really an issue of dropping him, its an issue of recalling someone else. King was only in for the interim as coveranbd now he has been replaced by the experienced international, to continue his development till his time comes around.

The only reason I'd pick King ahead of Woodgate is probably because he can play midfield or at full back as well as in the middle of defense.

And if you're going on the basis that Terry shouldn't be dropped as he hasn't done anything wrong then surely King shouldn't be dropped either. I say Rio and Sol back in for the Wales game; fresh slate. First one to make a mistake, Terry in. Second mistake, Ledleh in. And so forth...

He will man mark them out of the game, and use his great positioning and aerial ability to stop too many balls getting to the strikers...

Yes but it was what happened after 90 minutes that affected us....

King did nothing wrong to be dropped, unless roving you can defend incredibly against Henry, marking him out the game, for 90 minutes is a reason...
