Football fans give Hodgson verdict on selecting Liverpool's Ings for England squad
LIVERPOOL fans offered their congratulations to Danny Ings today after his call-up to the England squad was confirmed - but supporters of other teams weren't so convinced.
Danny Ings has scored two goals for Liverpool this season
Ings, along with club colleagues Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Lallana and James Milner, is included in Roy Hodgson's Euro 2016 qualifying squad.
And there is no place for Daniel Sturridge, who continues to build up his fitness after almost a year out with injury.
England face Estonia in Lithuania during this month's international break, with the Three Lions already assured their progression to France next summer.
And Reds fans expressed their delight at Ings, who only joined the club on the off-season from Burnley, had earned his maiden call-up.
Great seeing Ings in the England squad. Even better NOT seeing Sturridge in the England squad. Keep him in bubble wrap during the break.

Dele Alli and Danny Ings in the England squad...fair play both class players. Feel bad on Mark Noble and Ward Prowse not getting in.

Great to see Ings get the call up for England squad, relieved to see Sturridge not included as he always gets injured on international duty.

However, other football fans were not pleased with the decision to call up Ings for his first taste of England duty - having not got the nod during his impressing spell at Burnley last season.
So soon as he signs for LFC he gets a call up??!! Hodgson is a disgrace. Ings not done anything this season. https://t.co/fbkG8cAxnC

FAO England fans. We've not won anything since '66 due to some bad luck and more recently being absolute trash. Not Ings, Alli and Vardy.
