Its really surprising to see Ashley Young not in the England squad but Jamie Vardy made it. Can anyone explain this :S?
{Ed025's Note - neither of them should be anywhere near an international squad wayne, young has done well this season but thats a false dawn imo..

I've got to agree with ED25. While he's had a a good season he isn't a top player and is very predictable with his crossing. When you look at the top clubs with their wingers Ashley wouldn't get anywhere near them.
Personally I'd sell him and Valenica this summer before they reach 30

So on your opinion players should be picked on reputation and not form then?

False dawn or not, I believe players are picked based on current form, and Young's current form is worth a call-up. Even if on the bench, back-up for either flank.

Well I think Young would have been in there but according to Hodgson he had a slight injury.
I think it's a tad bit unfair on Young there ed25, England aren't exactly a fanastic football team and I believe his form would have him included, now if he was spanish/french/italian so on and so forth, then yes he shouldn't be allowed near an international team.

Young has been good all season, the amount of goals he's been involved in shows he's doing something right! He's got his confidence back and he can beat a player and get a cross in much more consistently now than any of our other wingers. He's better than Vardy, Milner and Townsend anyway that's for sure.

On form it's a travesty that Young hasn't made the England squad. Is there anyone better for England wide left form-wise? I can't think of anyone.
