England v Lithuania

[Bozza]

I imagine it is because everyone is bubbling over with excitement that there is not a thread on this yet.

Let's see if the footballers can put on as good a Friday night show as the egg-chasers did a few weeks back in Cardiff.

England team: Hart, Clyne, Cahill, Jones, Baines; Henderson, Carrick, Delph, Sterling, Rooney, Welbeck

well loose...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

That is very very average

Baines is not international class for a start

 

[Butch Willykins]

Great to see we're not starting with a bang in form young English striker. That's the spirit Roy.

 

[gripper stebson]

Depressing looking line up. Looks like a mid table Premier League side....

That midfield. Jesus wept.

Wellbeck and Rooney have scored 11 between them in 6 games.

 

[El Turi]

Baffling decision not to start Kane. It will be an easy victory tonight so surely the perfect game to give him his debut.

That midfield. Jesus wept.

Henderson is good; Carrick has loads of experience, and Delph is a good young player. Who would get in ahead of them? Imagine it'll be more like a 4-4-2, or 4-4-1-1, with Sterling and Delph providing the width. Looks OK to me, albeit not world-beating.

 

[Butch Willykins]

Wellbeck and Rooney have scored 11 between them in 6 games.

I like Welbeck, but this is practically a friendly. Would be great experience for Kane to start and bag a goal.

 

[vegster]

Kane will be kept in cotton wool until the last few friendlies before the finals, when he will break a Metatarsal or snap a Cruciate, sad but inevitable for the player who carries our hopes of dragging our team in to a quarter final.

 

[BensGrandad]

That is very very average

Baines is not international class for a start

His performances . plus the absence of Terry caused us to do abysmally in 2014 World Cup

 

[inland seagull]

If Jones is the best centre back we have.......

 

[Neil]

well loose...

is this meant to be .....We will lose

 

[Neil]

Harry Kane ...the one season wonder

 

[Soulman]

Come On England

 

[The Wizard]

Pathetic not to start Kane. An absolute joke.

 

[Lower West Stander]

It's not terrible, but we're not going to win the European Championship with it.

Henderson or Schweinsteiger?

Carrick or Pogba?

hmmmm

 

[El Sid]

Come on lads! Let's do it for David Milliband.

 

[Pavilionaire]

All these people who decry the lack of genuine English talent, and yet when we finally get an English striker topping the Prem goal scoring charts he doesn't start. Kane is a better player than Welbeck, he's proved it by scoring loads more goals this season. This is a real shame.
