I keep coming back to Cresswell. To me he's one of, if not the, best English left sided full back at the moment, defends well, has good vision, scores goals and can cross the ball well. It is Rose who gets that slot?

From a career and professional perspective I would like Noble to have been given an opportunity; from a Club POV I would rather that he has nothing to do with the England team.

WHU are far more important to me than England & 2016/17 is going to be a very important season for the Club so I would rather that bulk of squad gets a decent rest over the summer.

IMO Roy should have been sacked after the debacle of the last WC, he wasn't and as such he'll carry on picking the plays that he always will - no space for anyone new now.

Time's on Creswell's side so I would expect him to get an opportunity at some point, but probably not until Roy's gone.

Sorry but that really made me laughbeer

I've read it about six times now and still can't find a bit of it that I disagree with biggrin

If we take our specs off, Noble ( who was outstanding again on Saturday even without the goals) is simply too slow over the first yard for international football, but he's a class act no doubt.
Cresswell defensively is nowhere near international level yet,but has time on his side.

Will he get a look in though - Cresswell - when Shaw is back fit? Shaw playing for the 'bigger' team etc ... you know how these things work ... !

Hard as this is for me to say, from what I've seen of both players, Shaw is a better option when fit in my opinion.

If he hadn't been picked for England we would probably still have Dean Ashton.

According to wiki Shaw's only 20, Cress 26 - hadn't realised Shaw was that young.

Coincidentally Ashton's about to play in the Legends game at UP.

Shaw always looks unfit to me. Be interesting to see how well he comes back from a very nasty injury.

Noble should have been called up to that squad recently - at least for a look from Woy.
Jack Wheelchair !!! laugh

Very good.

So if Cresswell (defender), Noble (midfield) and Carroll (forward) were picked for England. Would that be like Moore, Hust & Peters?

West Ham - 2015/16 Premier League U21 Champions. well done West Ham youth! Let's hope this is another generation of Ferdinand, Carrick, Lampard, Cole, Defoe and that they can blend into the first team!

Well done to them - won on Pens in the end. We've already seen quite a bit of Reece Oxford so there's hope for the other's that they might be able to work their way up.
