Surpised there's no room for Micah Richards with Kyle Walker injured. I rate him higher than Phil Jones personally.
"I am determined to come back stronger like I have the previous two times I have missed out."This won't stop me or deter me. "I now look to the World Cup in two years and will try to be involved in that one. I want to put myself in contention again."My total focus is on Villa next season now. I am confident we will improve and have a much better season. The previous one was obviously not great but this is a massive club and we have to make sure that was just a blip."We need to get behind the new manager when he comes in and put all our efforts into the new campaign."

He can play at RB or CB.
What a tired old squad, but there aren't a huge amount of alternatives who are fit to go. I'd have had Sturridge, Bent(if fit) and even Crouchy in there ahead of Carrol, Defoe and probably Welbeck. Also Adam Johnson ahead of Downing and one of the Arsenal wide men, and I've have had Micah Richards in as well. God help us if Robert Green has to play. It just shows the paucity of the pool of English talent available.

Ferdinand I never rated, terrible first touch and Fowler has been wank for anyone except Liverpool for a few years in the mid-late 90's.

One of the best in the air I've ever seen.
How on earth he can justify picking 4 Liverpool players after they have had almost as an uninspiring season as we have is beyond me.Also to pick Milner to play wide after the limited football he has had is ridiculous.Trully an awful,safe and poor team.
