Rc2702 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Kevin Nolan deserved a full cap and never got a sniff. Deserved at least a couple of chances I think he would have performed best in an England shirt, one of those types I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickG16 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Michael Carrick, but we all know the reasons for that. I think Steve Bruce was always thought of as too slow. If you consider the likes of Adams, Campbell and Pallister played ahead of him, I have no problem with that. Same with Le Tissier and Cole. Le Tis was amazing but lacked any pace.... there were some great strikers around at that time.. Shearer, Sheringham, Wright, Owen.... that is the reason these guys didn't play more. Same with Cantona to be honest - can you really argue he should have been in the French team when they won the WC in 1998? Would have been brilliant to see him in Euro 96 though, around his peak!

RickG16 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 And again with Zola... he was a great player, but let's think about who was keeping him out of the side.

He could have played for ROI through a grandparent but turned them down because he wanted to play for England. He didn't even get an U21 cap. Gary O'Neill was always picked ahead of him by coach David Platt. Ironically O'Neill is now one of our star players; if you can have star players when 2nd from bottom of the Championship.

There was no anti United bias imho but i think you are absolutely correct on the refusal to give up on a partnership which never delivered. Carrick was ridiculously under used by England.

Although it wasnt really a partnership , it was trying to fit both players into the same team , moving one of the players out of position .

Maybe not so much now, but 4-5 years ago Noble was a very underrated player. Quick, tigerish midfielder who was a very good passer and not afraid to mix it either.
