  Think there would have been uproar if he'd been dropped after his performance against Scotland.
  
  Not entirely sure what Raheem has done to warrant a place though. Woy still got his Liverpool fetish?

  i can't believe sterling is in there, he'd be better actually playing in the under 21's than sitting in stands for the full team. this is why other countries young players develop well, they only come into squad when they are ready to play.

  I don't think we've got the depth in talent to hold players back in the way the likes of Spain might, but completely agree with what you're saying. He shouldn't be there.

  in his case and af ew others it's not holding them back because barring a lot of injuries he won't get close to playing. he has so many players ahead of him just let him get international experience with 21's.

  27-man squad as well. Seems a bit excessive!

  i didn't count, but i thought it looked big. i think they will trim it down then, must just be like a provisional squad i guess or maybe some of the players are on standby.

  Not sure.
  
  I could understand if they were friendly games, you normally lose 5 or 6 to chipped nails and bad hair days for them.
  
  But these are proper qualifiers!!

  yeah if it was a friendly i would understand cuz like you said alot of players drop out and you can also experiment risk free, but for qualifiers it's a bit strange. who knows?
