He's scored about four goals too so is good in the air. Had hoped Jags would be there, has performed excellent at the back for Everton this season, hopefully soon though...

WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,605 User: 88	I'm so glad Capello's put Walcott, Agbonlahor, Wheater etc. in. These games are the type of games that these sorts of players should be playing in. Hopefully some of them should make the cut...

Scoring one goal in ages against a fellow relegation threatened team doesn't make him the hottest striker around

Scoring one goal in ages against a fellow relegation threatened team doesn't make him the hottest striker around That's exactly what he's doing He looked really sharp on Tuesday so he picked him! Same with all the rest! Is Wheater a big name? Were Barry or Bentley big names this time last year? People make themselves big names by playing great performances, as I said how often is Owen off form for England? Managing to play like that when you get such awful service really showed how good he was and so he's played himself into the squad. Even Frank Lampard has done well recently! I really don't think John Terry should start however as some of the other defenders have been playing better than him so it'd be interesting to see who'll be captain (Gareth Barry has emerged as a suprise contender now it seems ) Anyway who right now would you pick over Owen then? He won't play much of a part I don't think.

Johnson, Heskey, Ashton - all good players but i'd rather Owen in the squad. Even if he doesn't play, he's a good mentor towards the younger players coming through the set-up. Owen's the sort of player that thrives on confidence anyway, maybe his goal against Birmingham might spur him into a little bit of form now (baring any injures of course).

He's outperformed them both all the way through the season and effortlessly slips into the left back role. Plus he's getting week-in-week-out football at Goodison.

Owen's the sort of player that thrives on confidence anyway, maybe his goal against Birmingham might spur him into a little bit of form now (baring any injures of course). I read an interesting article before outlining how Kevin Davies should be getting an England call-up and it did make some very valid points. Granted he's not got the perfect goals-per-game average but as an old fashioned supporting striker he's one of the best around. Would be interesting to see a possible set-up whereby he was placed just behind an out and out goalscorer [best bet would be Jermain Defoe right now] and playing Rooney on the right wing. That way they're not as reliant on crosses [as Defoe isn't the tallest attacker..] and more predominantly bulky up front. We've seen time and again that the 4-5-1 long ball up type structure won't work for England so perhaps a bit more rugged strength up front could work. I'm not saying it WOULD work as Davies is a bit of a liability but friendlies like these are certainly the games to rotate around and experiment with..
