Adam Johnson: "I think a lot of people saw me as almost a certainty [for the Denmark squad], but if you look at the last squad it was almost all top-eight [players] bar [Cardiff defender Steven] Caulker.
"I think that says a lot about the selection. I don't think it really matters how well you are playing - it's who you play for.
"If you look at the last 10 squads, Southampton have been playing well, they are in the top eight - and the rest are Everton, Tottenham, Man United, City, clubs like that.
"I came to Sunderland to play more, rather than thinking about England, but some games I wasn't even on the bench at City but I was still in the England squad.
"Now I'm playing more and I can't get a cap. It's just a fact - it's not me being sour. Some players, if they weren't playing for the big clubs, wouldn't be anywhere near it [the squad]."
