At the start of England's match against Montenegro today Kevin Davies was the only forward on the bench for Fabio Capello. This was because of injuries more than anything. Gary Cahill was also on the bench, and you could argue, on current form, he has been better than either of the players in the starting XI this season. Whether he is or not, one would have to say, the inclusion of 2 Bolton players in the England team verifies Capello's claim that he would choose his squad based upon the amount of playing time each player is receiving at his club, and what he is doing with those opportunities.
Davies did get off the bench, Cahill did not, and England were held at home. I must admit, given the arrogance and sense of entitlement England supporters display, results like this are pretty enjoyable.
