Remarkable really that Jordan Henderson

has just drawn level with Jimmy Greaves on 57 England caps, and has still to score for his country. Am I missing something but do they give out England caps like Confetti these days?

Johhny Haynes 56
Stanley Mathews 54
Glenn Hoddle 53
Geoff Hurst 49
George Cohen 37
Jack Charlton 35
Nat Lofthouse 33
Nobby Stiles 28
Dixie Dean 18

Just a few of the truely great players that all have few caps than Henderson. To be fair he is still behind James Milner, who has 61 caps. WTF.

Discuss, are the modern players given caps, because they can lace up a pair of football boots correctly?

That's embarrassing that Hendo has played for England so many times.Donkey wouldn't get in France or Belgium squad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
wouldn't be sure of that. Sissoko and bakayoko have played for france. Fellaini has loads of caps for belgium
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fellaini in his prime was much better than Henderson.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
that prime of 6 months at everton?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah the 2012-13 season at Everton and that 14-15 season when LVG was United manager

AS phenom said maybe he was more effective, but he was basically just duncan ferguson with a wig. Henderson a more accomplished player.

Henderson never even scored a goal for England. Billy Nicholson scored in every England game he played.

com.

One thing I would say in response to your list though, Glenn Hoddle was criminally underused by England.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Listened to Ray Wilkins once, he was chosen ahead of Hoddle for England, even he said he was surprised as Hoddle was brilliant. Said it was criminal he was chosen over him.

With Hendo I think he fits LFC to T. Thrives in that set up and is exactly the work horse that is required. For England the set up is such that I don't think it does him any favours

*Also meant to add that sometimes you can't play players who are good for club into the international team as a different style means that player won't be as useful.

England have a habit of picking players who play good in certain prem teams then try and fit them in to a system and are surprised if they don't show their club form.

Just as an example barkley and Grealish have been excellent so far for AV. But I doubt you'd get two AV players getting in ahead of LFC, MU, MC players

So it's all about how many goals you get which makes you a good player now does it?

Well it does help if you play football as a midfielder or an attacker that you can score goals.

England went 30 games unbeaten with Jordoa Hendinho in the team.

This is the longest run for any player in English football history 👍

He's undropable. The waistcoat abuser should make the Premier league and CL winning captain the leader of the national team.
