4. Aaron Lennon
The Spurs winger has had an excellent season for Tottenham and perhaps would have expected to have been in contention for a place in Hodgsons squad. Question marks still remain over his consistency over the course of the season and he is unfortunate that England have a number of right-sided midfielders.
Theo Walcott came into form towards the end of the season just in time to merit selection, although the Arsenal man has a tendency to under-perform. Lennon might feel he warranted a place ahead of 18-year-old
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who only started six league games for Arsenal this season. The Ox is a popular inclusion, however, and was tipped by many to be Hodgsons wildcard at the Euros. He also provides more versatility than Lennon who is an out-and-out winger, although that is also a trait that could have counted in the Spurs mans favour. It is a shame that Lennon is not left-footed as he would surely have found himself in front of
Stewart Downing in the pecking order. The Liverpool winger seems to have been included purely based on the fact he is left-footed, as he has had a disappointing season forLiverpool.
