Shay Gives Capello A Helping Hand!
Former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given has urged Fabio Capello to begin England's European Championship qualifying campaign with Joe Hart in goal. Shay Given: "Putting Joe in for the qualifiers would make sense, definitely. "Joe is a top young goalkeeper. David James is 40 next month so by the time the next World Cup comes round he'll be 44 so the chances of him playing in it would be small. "People like Joe and Adam Johnson will be the future for England. "Joe had a fantastic season but if what happened to Robert Green happened to Joe then it would have been him who was being lambasted around the country and maybe he would never have played again, similar to what happened to Scott Carson a few years ago. "Joe was definitely good enough to play in it but if something like that happened to him then it would have been difficult for him to recover from. "England are getting stick at the moment but I'm sure it's a lot worse for the French back in France. "Their whole campaign seemed to be a bit of a debacle really. Their performances were really poor. It was a bit of a sham really."
