Stoke tinted specs time again. Downing's no world beater but he's better than Etherington. I think most of the people on here are just thinking about last season because of how poor Downing was. Downing 2 or 3 years ago onwards, was a lot better than Etherington. |

But if he's as he was last season he's no better. Agreed, but we know what quality he has, should he play to his best or should he have stayed at villa even. |

Downing has been picked because he can offer more going backwards.
This is the sad state of affairs that is English football. Where coaching attacking football is viewed as the work of the devil and destroying will put 10's of millions of pounds into clubs' coffers.
England are going into the tournament not to lose - other nations are going in to win.

He probably is based on this season (both have been toss mind) but if I had to pick one I'd go for Matty all day long. I hate Downing with a passion, dross player.

Matty all day long, he's a better crosser , tracks back just as well , just as much pace , better dead ball delivery, an all round better player however his confidence is low but a call up may have just triggered his form back to life. His form last season was not brill but this could have been the spark but another big club average player gets the nod, same for Ashley Young better than Matty I dunna think so headless chicken come to mind with him, the only guy I rate along side Matty is Adam Johnson quality player who I think should be in the squad just ahead of Matty. But once again big club no talent big time charlies get in less popular hungry players left out. New manager same old shite.....
