Boss hopes Capello considers his England contingent

Brendan Rodgers hopes Swansea's performance against Arsenal gave watching England coach Fabio Capello something to think about. Capello was at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday to see the Swans overcome the Gunners in a five-goal thriller. The football on show cannot have failed to impress the Italian, with both sides looking to play the game in the right way. Swansea ultimately came out on top, with their free-flowing passing game seeing them cause the top-four-chasing Gunners no end of problems. Among those to make the most telling contribution were wing wizard Nathan Dyer and in-form frontman Danny Graham.

Threat

Both men have yet to be capped by their country, but Rodgers feels Capello should take them into consideration when piecing together his plans for Euro 2012. "I'm sure he would be surprised at the level the players played the game," he said. "They were a massive threat and have probably given him something to think about. "We play a style of football that means international football would be no surprise to them."
