Should Walcott start the game tomorrow?

as the question asks.

 

He'll play.

Ashley Young should be in there instead though. Your club form should dictate if you play for England and Young has been the most consistent winger in England for 12 months.

 

Walcott should start for sure, looking a very good player this season

 

the reason i dont think he should play is he needs space behind the defence to stretch his legs and use his pace like he did against Croatia where as i think on saturday the Kazaks will sit very deep rarley venturing foward to attack, giving Theo little room to work in at the moment i think he is one dimensional and needs another side to his game as well as his pace.

 

Of course he will play. For people to doubt him after a hat tirck against Croatia is insane!

 

dont you think Wright-Phillips and Ashley Young have been better over the last 12 months?

 

No nt

 

Young and Wright-Phillips have both been good and I am surprised to see Young miss out on the squad but Walcott looks like he might be a natural to the international game. After a hat-trick in his last game at this level it would be madness to leave him out. But I do agree it might need a different kind of performance tomorrow. They won't be looking to get at us like Croatia did.

 

Deffo, one of the few bright sparks in this current england team. Really hope lampard doesn't play, now he is w@nk in an england shirt! /poo

 

Lampard had a good game in last game and has played well for England (think he was top scorer in one qualifying campaign). Him and Gerrard just can't play together. Needs to be one or the other, and going by the fact that Lampard has got the shirt and he played well, he should play. Unfortunately I reckon it will be both of them.

 

Also wasn't he our top scorer in Euro 2004?

 

Could well have been. I am sure that his best period for England was when Gerrard was injured. Gerrard has had just as many poor games as Lampard for England.
