    Adam Millicent: Wilshere, who didn't even play a whole game this season, over Drinkwater, who won the Premier League 

    Nick: Yet again we don't pick players based on form, just reputation, Sterling, Wilshire, Henderson et al 

    Mark Smythe: So only one defensive midfielder in the entire squad. It's not as if the centre-backs need protecting at all

    'Drinkwater is unlucky'published at 14:21 British Summer Time 31 May 2016

    Trevor Sinclair
    Former England winger on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Danny Drinkwater has had such a good season. I feel he deserved to be in the squad. He's the unluckiest player to miss out on this selection.

    "With five strikers in the team, having Wayne Rooney in the squad will now be for a three-man midfield or as a more defensive role. 

    "Andros Townsend finished the season strongly, Raheem Sterling did not. But we know what Sterling can do at international level."

    Gary Trudgett: Glad to hear that Marcus Rashford is going to Euro 2016 but worried that Andros Townsend is not going  experienced & proven

    Tom Holmes: Absolutely disgraceful that Drinkwater is dropped. Not like he started almost every game for a title winning team...oh wait.

    Cammy Bouse: Drinkwater not in the squad is a disgrace. Any chance he has a Scottish granny or something?

    Elliott Callender: Sturridge can be one of the best, he's worth the risk. Scott Dann should have been in the team, had an excellent season. 

    Andrew Neill: Has anyone see Roy recently? He was meant to announce the squad after training but that finished hours ago...... 

    Tom Taylor: When the 25 man England Squad becomes 23, cut Henderson & Townsend
