If I were an England fan, I would have nothing to worry about concerning Barrys and Lampards injuries; I might even take out a bottle of champagne.If this midfield combination did not work in 2008 and 2010, when both of them were at their peak age, why should we be bothered by the fact they will be mi sing the tournament when they are both in their 30s and have been worn out after a long and hard season?But before I cry out for joy, the real depre sing fact lies in the Kevin Minter Jersey standby squad. A defender who has been struggling with fitne s is called upon to replace Gareth Barry; and now Jordan Henderson would be the obvious choice to replace Lampard.We do not need another paragraph to describe how disappointing Hendersons season had been. So where are the names of Michael Carrick, Jake Livermore, or even Leon Britton?Gareth Barry, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are all top-cla s midfielders, but they just never work well together. Their roles on the field are always ill-defined, that it is more like playing fantasy football rather Russell Bodine Jersey than a tactical formation by the manager.It is more surprising when every one of those has injury concerns; but Michael Carricks name has not rung the bell of Roy Hodgson at all. Carrick and Parker, to me, is the perfect duo for England if they are to Logan Woodside Jersey play their counter attack football in Euro 2012.Carrick has been playing as a holding midfielder for Manchester United and his positioning would help when Parker surges forward to start attacks. He may not be the quickest midfielder, but this will not be punished too heavily in this relatively slow-pace tournament.If Hodgson is really up for a more defensive minded squad, Jake Livermores chances should not be hindered at all. His lack of international experience is a clear disadvantage, but how many times has he come into the game this season to help protect Tottenhams narrow lead? He is a promising and energetic role player which is being neglected completely; and isnt Hodgson A J Green Jersey having his sights on the 2014 World Cup instead of the Euro?Jake Livermore deserves a senior capLeon Brittons omi sion will only be down to his clubs reputation. Milner is selected for his versatility, but Downing and Henderson are included just because they are from Liverpool. Even when injuries open up slots in the 23-man squad, the le ser known players fantastic seasons are not rewarded with an international call-up which they are well-deserved.Having insufficient time to prepare for the tournament may be the perfect excuse, John Ross Jersey but when you look at the Italy and France squads, big names are left out to make way for in-form players. Hodgson was brave enough to leave out Odemwingie last season but now he is not being himself when he is in his dream job. I wont count my hopes on a manager who succumbs to pre sure from not including big names in the squad.
