"I'd have hoped I was knocking on the England door because if you are not knocking on the door after playing in a Champions League final for Liverpool then there must be something wrong," he said.
"The Champions League has been good for me as a player and I wasn't at all fazed to have played in the final. It would have been a great pick up to be selected by England so I'm desperately disappointed.
"After a few problems, the last season was a real turnaround and to have played in the Champions League final and finish third in the Premiership I couldn't have expected anymore. Being picked for the England games would have been a good way to end the season."
