Would like to see Forster given a go in this and the Germany game to see if he can stake a claim. Heard that Hart may be benched so likely to happen.
Lallana should be given a start also. Keeps the ball well and scores goals from midfield.
Agree with that. Forster definitely deserves a start. He has been outstanding for Celtic in the CL in the last 18 months.
Will be interesting to see how Townsend does next two games. He has been average for Tottenham since his last two England appearances in my opinion (he's been nothing more than average all season in truth!) Has done nothing to warrant starting for Spurs in the PL ahead of the likes of Lennon and Lamela. Really wouldnt have been surprised if AVB has dumped him on the bench but not so yet.
not sure about Henderson as I always though he was pretty poor. however I have heard that he's improved this season. probably why he's got a call up. Looking forward in seeing lallana play for England. has been great for Southampton for a couple of years now.
Think a few people are under estimating Chile. They drew 2-2 in Brazil and were a minute away from beating Spain in a recent friendly. Vidal is a big loss for them though but they play good attacking football, tonight is a big test.
Forster and Lallana have played against us in league one and especially Forster impressed at the Valley (Norwich 2010). Good luck to them and Jay Rodriguez
0-2. Deserved victory for Chile. Goal from giving the ball away cheaply in midfield again.
The worst English performance, I have seen for some time. England have been totally lacking in any cohesion or rhythm in the second half. Many substitutions don't help but that's not the main reason. Final ball terrible, passing terrible, Chile midfield much better. Without Welbeck (edited) and Sturridge England don't really look like scoring. Lampard looking a bit past it. Embarrasing really.The game has not been easy to watch, very disjointed. Chile fall over too easily, but England players should not give them the opportunity. Chile far superior though. Deserve the victory. On this kind of performance, Germany will be very easy winners on Tuesday.
At least it helps dampens down any 'England will win the World Cup' delusions.

will be interesting to see how the Southampton boys get on & Kieran Gibbs if he plays.
other than that, I'm out so will predict the most bland game of football ever seen in this country.
0-0.

Not expecting an amazing display of football, but England should win reasonably comfortably.
I've gone 2-0. Expecting to see half the Southampton squad on the teamsheet.
Let's hope the Germany game has a bit more edge to it and we play our near enough first choice 11.
