Walcott?? He hasn't even played high club level footie let alone international level. I'm a bit biased towards Spurs players so I'm surprised King has been left out along with Defoe. Campbell has been making a lot of defensive mistakes even before he was injured. Anton Ferdinand is better than him. We need more and proven strikers since our top 2 are not fully fit. Shaun Wright-Phillips should have been picked ahead of Lennon and Hargreaves. It might be a stroke of genius or lunacy to pick two uncapped teenagers. Only time will tell.

Still don't get what Sven sees in Owen Hargreaves.

Glad Lennon got in. Still think taking Rooney is stupid, but then I'm not paid the money to make the cutting edge desicions.

Indeed

Why is he taking Sol Campbell

Good to see Michael Carrick & Stewart Downing in the squad Andy Johnson should have been given the nod above Theo Walcott too I bet Jermain Defoe is wishing Rooney doesn't make it - Taking him is damn silly IMHO, like taking Beckham to the last World Cup injured was

I would have gone for Bent over Johnson i think but would take the pair of them anyway and leave out Rooney and probably Crouch. Hargreaves must be doing Sven some favours because i fail to see what his qualities are. Jenas shouldnt be in ahead of Reo Coker and Campbell looked garbage for Arsenal the other day. Lets hope he plays better against Barca cos he looks well off the pace.
Glad Lennon got called up ahead of SWP - he has looked sharp this season.

Reo Coker isn't even the best English midfielder at his club either...

sven has picked a 17 year old who hasn't even played in the
premiership
so in attack we have rooney - oh no he won't be fit 'till the final -
if we get there!!!
owen - he'll limp off after one game
crouch - oh lord help us
walcott - shouldn't he be at home revising for something

what's wrong with defoe? and or bent? (the premierships top english
striker-18 goals)

and downing ? mcclarens middlesbrough connection coming in to play


Asked how he came to the decision to omit the likes of Defoe and Bent
in favour of Walcott, Eriksson confessed: "Probably not too logically.

"Sometimes you do it on feelings as well and I am excited about Theo
Walcott."

Pah!

I have never seen this Theo Walcott play, lets hope he is something
extra special.

Still think we are gona win ( but then i alwas do )
