Bloody hell. Right, let me just be crystal clear here before we end up weighed down by straw men.
What I was arguing against was the idea that it's somehow ridiculous to not call Gilmour up, and the specific argument within that that I was targeting was that we should ignore his lack of game time this season and focus on the fact that he had a great game a couple of seasons back against Liverpool.
For qualifiers, sure, call him up, but this is too important a tournament to try a guy out who isn't playing in football matches. He may play like he did against Liverpool, or the game could totally pass him by and Clarke needs to sub him at half time. We have three matches, realistically, and I think that we need to be playing the players we know can do a job in this system, not players who have merely been training with good players (and not in a 3-5-2).
