Gareth Barry out of Euro 2012

Phil Jagielka called up in his place.

Probably 2nd choice holding mid behind Parker, prefer Jagielka as a player anyway

That means we have:

Terry
Cahill
Lescott
Jagielka
Jones

All who can play at centre back, seems a bit too many, especially when we only have one natural right back, who is injured

Glad he's gone (though I'd rather Downing had been dumped instead) and I'm even more glad he wasn't replaced by Henderson, but why are we calling up a CB as a replacement? Unless he's going to now use Jones as CM (or sub CM)?

I thought if Barry was injured, Henderson would have been called up. Glad he hasn't though and the Jag is a very underrated player so good luck to him!

No Carrick?

nooooooooooooooo! right im over it

jagielka anyday

is a blow, however..

i would have picked Jags in my orignal squad, but not in place of a CM...

In place of who then CF?

i wouldnt have taken Terry..

my CB pairing would have been Jags and Cahill.

mine would be Lescott and Cahill....

To be honest, as I think this tourny is going to be absolute cack, I'd have been tempted to try shoe-horn as many black players into the team as possible.

Richards at RB, Lescott in at CB with Rio, Cashley LB, Young +2 in the midfield, Welbeck Bent and Defoe upfront!
