downing is limited but lennon is just a pace merchant whose delivery is shite

Who or when has that been said? Im pretty certain Lennon was brought up asking why he wasnt in the squad and the answer was that he has only just come back from injury.
By the way, Stewart Downing's crossing is useless if he carries on doing it from deep like he has done recently for England. He needs to beat a man and get closer to the byline first

lennon is an excellent player and certainly better than SWP whose place he will regain when he gets back to full fitness

Its all an illusion that Downig can cross well. Has anyone ever seen him put in a decent cross in an England shirt?

Personally, I think an in form SWP is better than Lennon, but he's so often out of form that I'd rather see Lennon play.

Downing plays on the left, whilst Young and Lennon are primarily right wingers. So long as Joe Cole remains fit he is number 1 on the left; I wouldnt like to see Young or Lennon used on the left yet personally, they both need to mature their games a lot more, otherwise they might end up like Dyer who was criminally wasted on the left and judgement passed before he ever had a chance to do his thing at International level

For England, I'd love to see how Bridge and Young would work down the left.
