Stewart Downing has hit out at Steve McClaren for axeing him following England's draw with FYR Macedonia and has vowed to prove the Three Lions chief wrong.
Middlesbrough winger Downing threw in a below-par display at Old Trafford, but he was not alone as England laboured to a 0-0 draw.
McClaren opted to axe Downing for the trip to Croatia, but it backfired as England were beaten 2-0, and the winger has admitted he was hugely disappointed to be dropped.
"I knew we were going to get criticism after the Macedonia game because we didn't win," Downing told the News of the World.
"But I thought it was a bit harsh when just two players were singled out - Wayne Rooney and myself.
"But it's a team game and for me Ledley King was the only player who stood out.
"That was why I was disappointed when I was left out for Croatia.
"I explained to the manager that I wasn't happy and that if I was to be dropped other players should be as well.
"I know I shouldn't worry about other players but it's all for one and one for all. If one's dropped then the rest should be.
"I told him I accepted his decision because he's the manager. In the end you have to get on with it and respect him.
"But at the end of the day I'm disappointed and I'll prove him wrong."
