Four players who should never represent England again after EURO 2016 exit

Joe Hart

The Manchester City shot-stopper has had a shocking tournament, conceding four goals in the four games that he played. While one can expect to be beaten in big tournaments, the manner in which these were let through was appalling. Hart can be blamed for two big goals conceded, one of which knocked his side out of the tournament. While he has served his purpose as first choice goalkeeper reasonably well enough in the past, there are undoubtedly better choices than the arrogant Man City No.1. Jack Butland, Tom Heaton and Fraser Forster are to name a few of the names that England must consider for the future.

Raheem Sterling

Yes, he is only 21 and has his whole future ahead of him, but judging by his performance in a tournament where the stakes were so high, Sterling simply does not belong in an England jersey. The City ‘talent’ is, on his good day, a stellar player…but those good days seem to come only once in a blue moon. He has been thoroughly inconsistent for one who Manchester City spent £49 million on and until he is not a proven liability, should never be considered for an England call-up.

Jack Wilshere

It may never be fully understood why Jack Wilshere was called up to this England squad in the first place. He started as a promising talent, but quickly developed into an utter nuisance for everyone around. He has been spending his time and ‘hard-earned’ money being injured for most part of the year, although he does manage the odd game or two at the Emirates. While doing his best to be as unprofessional as possible off the field, the Arsenal man has barely contributed to anything for both club and country. Danny Drinkwater and Mark Noble are more than worthy replacements for the 24-year-old.

James Milner

The likeliest of the four to be moved on. James Milner might be one of the hardest working individuals in this England side, but it is safe to say that his time has run out. To be fair, he has never done much wrong when he has played, although his chances have come scarcely in the last few years. It is about time England look towards their future stars and there is no lack of talent to choose from, considering that the under-21 team only recently won the Toulon Young Players Tournament.

Roy Hodgson departing has been a refreshing to start in what will hopefully will be a string of changes to this very disappointing England team.
