    National debate whether he should be in the England squad.

    Is he worthy of this or is he Tom Hundredstone?

    An overweight version of Jan Molby?

    IMO, its only people who dont watch him every week who think he should be in the squad. He's not even in the top 5 Hull City players.

    You dont watch him every week.

    He's definitely one of the top 5 City players.

    He's solid with good days and bad days. He isn't worl class though, and not good enough for the England team.

    Saying that, neither are most of the England team either though.

    I think Huddlestone had a better game than wilsher yesterday and is much fitter than wilshere. so he deserves a chance over him yes! although his free kick was an absolute shambles! what was he thinking???

    Wilshere's a diving prick, he's neither good enough for Arsenal, nor England.

    Has all the ability but like so many others lacks the consistency.

    There were moments yesterday where his close control was superb and often sold two or three Arsenal players in one movement but some of his short range passing is much too casual.

    I can't believe no one has commented on the question "An overweight version of Jan Molby?"

    How can there be an overweight version of someone who himself was hugely overweight?

    Based on last Season's form, yes he should.

    Based on this Season's form, no he shouldn't. I don't understand what's wrong with him and Livermore this Season, they just seem completely lackluster and sloppy with their passing. THUD isn't spraying them long diagonal passes like he used to.

    Shows glimpses but not consistent enough. Not hit the heights of last season yet but I'd rather have him in our team than playing for the opposition.

    Yes and no.

    No because he hasn't played good enough.

    Yes because players who have been either just as average or worse than him have been getting called up, wghich says more about the quality of England under that idiot Woy than anything.


    BTW the overweight **** is quite boring now.

    Huddlestone is carrying a groin strain and didn't train at all this week, which made his performance yesterday even more impressive.

    Quite right, which supports the argument that form players should be picked and not the current "England job for life" selections.

    On an international level, I expected much more from Wilshire, I don't know why he has injury issues but it's clearly held him back. At this level you tend to foul and commit late challenges more if you're not 100% fit.
