Just because he ended up at CB doesn't mean he wasn't a better LB than Cole, which he was.
Maldini was pure LB who turned into CB when needed. As LB he was best at his time and maybe best ever and as CB he was amazing as well.
Cole doesnt have same effect on players as Maldini had. Zinadine and Ronaldo said they rather went through left than face Maldini.
This is Turning into Liverengland FC.
Amazing. Lets fill our team with players that finished 8th in the league. Good times.
I'm completely done with England for this tournament. Fed up of Roy trying to make it up to Liverpool fans by picking all their players.
To everyone who said 'I don't blame Carrick for not wanting to be on the back up list', this is what it has come to. If Carrick was there, he would be going, but no, we have to take someone who has spent a season looking completely out of depth at a mid-table club. If only Huddlestone or Cleverly hadn't spent most of the season injured. Would rather either of them over Henderson.

Not to mention players like Roberto Carlos, Emlyn Hughes and Dennis Irwin, who, in my opinion, equal or better Cole.
I'd argue that your blue tinted glasses are clouding your judgement, in my opinion.
He is a very good full back though. Would place Lizarazu, Maldini and Roberto Carlos above him. (not in that order.)
Agreed on virtually all parts, although in fairness, its not like Carrick would have forseen the injuries, but I'd rather he'd have been on the standby list over Henderson for **** sure. Although IIRC he can still be named as the first game of the tournament hasnt been played.
Carrick could still go? Then surely this constitutes enough of an injury crisis for him to want to go?

Wouldn't be surprised if Woy didn't want him for ruling himself out.
Which would be even more laughable than not putting him in the 23 originally. Almost as bad as picking Jones over Richards.
Or Carroll over Crouch, or Green over Forster, or Downing over anyone, or Barry over anyone, or Johnson over anyone.
Bit harsh on Jones, he is versatile and could be who we rely on to play the deep role with Parker, he can't play Gerrard there again surely.
Been out of form, and Richards is a superior right back, by some way.
Yeh Richards is a better right back I agree, but Jones could be someone we need especially now due to Barry and Lampard being out, I can't think of anyone better to partner Parker as a holding midfield player who is left in the squad. I think Richards was left out for Jones because Jones can play effectively three different positions. Johnson probably got picked over Richards because he is better going forward than Richards.
That's a matter of opinion not fact. The way he played towards the end of the season showed he is still the best.
Baines should be more worried about Bertrand!!!!
Cole is underrated because of his off the field antics.

Those bemoaning Carrick's treatment: he won 22 caps in 10 years. Scott Parker has 12 caps in 9 years. Difference is, Parker never quit

Yeah, I mean, 3 games is almost a full season, surely he must be the best!
I'd say from January he has been sensational again.
Dont get the point of this tweet...
