Roy's going 4-3-3. Surely Harry Kane will start. Wazza's got 46 goals in 101 games for England, he could break Bobby's record over these two games. Sturridge injured.
Hart Clyne Cahill Jagielka Baines Henderson Delph Sterling Rooney Welbeck Kane Can't see all four of those attackers starting though. Wouldn't be surprised to see Carrick start in Wilshere's absence. Maybe Milner.
You'd hope he would start but with Woy you don't hold up high hopes. We need to concentrate on an attacking philosophy with the players we have so at the moment have got the worst possible manager in charge.
It looks like Sturridge is going to miss at least half the remaining games with a torn hip muscle, he's barely played this season.
Cos Austin isn't international standard. He's a good goalscorer but he's not as good a footballer as Kane, Welbeck and Rooney are.
Lithuania should at least score a goal with him in defence. The omission of John Stones I find baffling.
Smalling hasn't been as bad usual lately, had the misfortune of seeing quite a lot of Man U- it's Jones people should be worried about, a headless chicken
This really. I wouldn't complain if Austin got called up, I just think he's not as good as those who do, and there's no need for him in this squad, and it seems to be just another daft excuse to have a rabid moan about Hodgson.
Any excuse to have a rabid moan about the useless twunt is a good one, I noticed Baines is playing for starters, an out of form Cahill, our defence is a bit of a joke. If players are good enough play them regardless of age, Kane should be in and that Clyne
I haven't seen the team, but Cahill and Baines are nailed on and rightly so. They're our best players in their positions.
We need to watch out for Lithuania striker Simonas Stankevičius tonight, he's a 19 year old who plays for Leicester City, he's scored 0 in 8 for Lithuania so far(their last game was against San Marino) and 0 in 5 for Nuneaton Town on loan this season. Sounds dangerous.
