Just looking over the morning papers in my office - looking on the net in my pants - and i note ashley young has been dropped from the England squad. Now I am not saying it's not deserved because he was off form in the euros but so were plenty of others. Also young was arguably the best player for England in the previous twelve to eighteen months.
seems harsh to me when you see the dead end trio of terry, fat frank and Steve me being picked again.
Obviously United are my priority and his dropping may give him the kick he needs but his omission is odd. especially when walcott makes it.

Ashley Young is a limited player.
Can't beat a man and can't run. He has the physique of a 15 year old. At least work on your body the way top players do if you are really dedicated to being the best.

Those having a go at Young again show themselves to be clueless. Young was on fire when he came to united and was Englands stand out performer in qualifying. to do that at that level shows he has talent and is clearly better than players that struggle to make the bench of teams that are inferior to united - arsenal - or at best the same level - City.
Now I don't think Young should be in Uniteds starting team but he has his uses from the bench or starting in some games. But any idiot can see he should be in that England squad on form, ability and reputation.
and for those who question his form. tell me Johnson, Walcott or Milner are in better form when they don't even play.
As for the Euros. Milner was dreadful, Walcott is one dimensional and can't cross a ball and Johnson got left out for Downing. If Roy likes him so much he could have took him.
The bottom line. Roy is clueless.

P.S. This argument null and void as Ashley Young is injured as SAF had a go at the FA in his press conference for telling the world before he did that Young is injured.

Nani beats a man and hits a wasteful pass or loses possession.
I can only assume you do not watch Young play, he does beat his man consistently. The only problem I've got with him is him beating his man and switching to his right foot which essentially slows down the play.
You really shouldn't be talking about scrawny girly players when bigging up Nani, he's a cry baby

SLM if that's the case fair enough. The metro reported he had been dropped. The Johnson thing makes sense now.

Beating your man means leaving him behind you chasing after you.
Beating your man is not shifting to your right foot and crossing.

Beating your man does not necessarily mean that dear boy. Haven't you ever played football?
You can beat a man several times in one move
Beating your man is not passing the ball to them or falling over or shooting from stupid angles or not usign your brain most of the time

Sorry if this has been said, but isn't Young injured?

Yeah, pretty sure Young picked up a knock against Fulham.

The point is Young has some serious flaws in his game. Milner is a better player than Young, more versatile and consistently involved in the game

Milner is absolutely awful imo. I thought he was worse than Young at the Euros. At least Young was playing well for England before that. Milner has done nothing at all to justify his place imo.
