Dele Alli comes on for his debut but why bother with only 3 minutes left to play??? England had this game won the minute they scored so why not give the kid more time to get a decent run out??
Washington heading for a double win tonight if it stays at 2-0!!
Finishes 2-0, England maintain their 100% record against a team that park the proverbial bus for most of the game. Another job done but its a shame we didn't see more fringe players get a look in tonight, see how they handle the pressure.
Washington is a happy man tonight with that result!!
They said that about Toto Schillachi but he won the World Cup almost singlehandedly for Italy on his one hot summer. maybe Vardy could do that for us.
I feel that players have been allowed to play more since Hodgson took over. He has given young players & in form players a go. We have got the number one seeded position for the Euros now so expect more changes against Lithuania.
In reality, we are not as good as France, Germany, Spain & Italy and are on a par with countries like Holland, Portugal & Belgium so really a QF should be our expectations and a SF would mean getting a fortunate draw and/or beating a better side. Unfortunately we always get carried away and expect too much.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
