Starting XI against Ecuador according to BBC

[Jags]

Foster
Milner Jones Smalling Shaw
Lampard Wilshere
AOC Barkley Rooney
Lambert
​

Fringe team, with Shaw, Barkley, AOC and Milner in particular playing for a place against Italy. No sterling surprised me. Thoughts?

I think it's fine really.

Centre back pairing worrys me, but not a bad team. Maybe needs Lee Cattermole to captain it instead of Lampard.

Well every team needs him mate.

Brazil 1970 missed his steel for example.

As for the team it's good to give everyone a go.

 

[neil999]

think its quite interesting , shaw and milner can both get forward and provide width, so rooney coming inside wont be a problem

 

[Jags]

Will be good to see Wilshere try and win his place back off Hendersen too

Move aside Wayne, Ross is here.

ok mate, you want ross to give away 4 penalties against italy, score two own goals against costa rica and then get sent off for a legitmate challenge on luis suarez against uruguay!

I want him to play so utter dirge that he doesn't get another game for England all summer mate.

 

[Kurt.]

That team above is a better side than the one that started against Peru.

 

[Moomin]

That team above would beat the best 11 Scotland and Wales could get together.

ramsey,bale, naismith and 8 other players that no-one knows yeah??

 

[Kurt.]

Bale could beat the England squad on his own...Facht !!

 

[Kurt.]

He might even swap himself for Naismith after 60 mins and still win comfortably.

 

[chicoazul]

Come on England. You can win this.
