Lampard rather than Wilshere feels over-cautious, and that combination with Gerrard has never worked as well as we'd hoped.

 

Townsend is a bold and probably correct choice. We need some pace in there.

 

Walker looks very nervous in an England shirt, and I don't know how he'll deal with the big occasion. Trouble is, there's no real alternative.

We're actually in very real trouble if we don't win both these games - it's not some overblown media rhetoric. There are a lot of permutations but if Ukraine win tonight, then anything less than 6 points in our 2 games (Ukraine kicked off just now vs Poland), and we're almost certainly in the playoffs. Ukraine have San Marino on Tuesday.

 

Fun.

People rate Townsend? Big call to have him starting out wide in this match no?

 

Team better than the individuals, etc. Very happy to have Welbeck and Sturridge back. It's a strong front four Imo. Pity about Gerrard/Lampard. Whether or not they're the best pair right now, there's zero longevity to the partnership now and they should/will not play in Brazil together, if we get there. Wilshire needs as many games as possible I think.

At least Keane doesn't pull his punches.

 

True. Won't ever respect the man for purposefully ending a man's career, but he's one of the best pundits because he simply tells it how it is. Something most pundits are afraid to do.
