    Weird that the players numbers go 1 to 11.

    Bet that's never ever happened since football started in 1992.

    Very attacking line up. Should be a few goals.

    Not sure what Stones has done this season to warrant a place. Smalling is the better centre half in my opinion.

    Hey Beds, never seen that station before.

    Isn't Smalling injured?

    Smalling injured, Ben Gibson called up to replace him.

    That's some kind of formation straight from the Karel Fraeye book of coaching...

    I think that's just the list of substitutes mate, although I can see why you'd mistake it for a Fraeye line up.

    Can't see the point of Defoe tbh.i know he's in good form and he might score a couple of goals, but I would rathertry a younger player to give him some experience.
    I doubt Defoe will be appearing at the next world cup so why pick him

    So what's the formation?

    4-4-2? 4-2-3-1?

    Think it must be


    -------------Hart

    Walker - Stones - Keane - Bertrand

    ---------Dier - Oxlade-C

    -----Sterling - Alli - Lallana

    ------------Defoe

    If you increase the font size and add a hashtag, that should really do it.

    England look pretty clueless. Just over 12m, less threat on goal than Charlton.

    Against Lithuania having a center half who is good in possession will be important, as England will have, er, all of the football.

    Agree with Blackpool re: Defoe. If there was a tournament this summer I'd get it, but we're 15 months away from one. I've never been a huge fan of Defoe's but to his immense credit he's kept himself very fit and he has improved his all around game as he's gotten older. But surely giving Rashford a start, or playing Sterling as a false 9 from the start, would be better.

    I know i shouldn't be surprised but this game is bloody awful.

    Did both teams agree beforehand that this would be a game of walking football?

    Lithuania are here to keep the score down, and hope they can steal a goal from somewhere, which is making it a bit of a non event

    Which they very nearly did.

    Dull but that's down to Lithuania more than England.

    I can't convey in words how much I hate the boring monotonous sound that that band makes all the way through every England match. Especially in games like this. Sometimes I wonder if it dictates the tempo England pay at.
