Ross is.

....surprised at that but he deserves it. Would've liked to have seen Buckland getting a start.

Tried to link it mate, but pressed something.

Hart, Bertrand, Clyne, Cahill, Smalling, Ross, Milner, Sterling, Kane, Walcott, Llallana.

Not bad actually.

....mmmm, not sure if that means Barkley in a conventional midfield role with Lalana playing behind the striker.

Yeah, I couldnt really see anything else really. Unless he has Walcott and Kane up front as a partnership I guess. But even then.

Lets see.

Why did I have to be a Sottish Everton fan...

I want Barkley to do so well, but want England to fail so badly.

 

[roydo]

Englands all time greatest scorer.

Made in Everton.

Played lad.

@dermotmcorrigan: David Silva limps out of Spain game just seven minutes in... not good international week for Man City so far...

 

[LinekersLegs]

International football is seriously crap. Compare any of the top teams to the side they had 10 years ago and you can see there's a chasm of difference in quality, its got to the point where a top 10 ranked team only needs 2 genuinely world class players. Sad fact is this is embraced by the media who constantly tell us football is improving, its not its getting worse and this is only amplified in the international arena as they cant just buy themselves a good team.

[SpurtingLesbian]

I'm thinking of giving up my job and retraining as an Estonian Striker.
I can just sit there in a deckchair on the halfway line and be more involved than this chap.

Thought the last World cup was one of the best I've seen, lots of skill and entertainment.

Remember though, back in the day the Euros were only 8 teams.
