Guzan Hutton Senderos Vlaar Cissokho Sanchez Delph Westwood Cleverley Gabby Weimann Obviously Benteke would replade Gabby or Weimann when fit but thats how i would try and fit our best players in.

Yes very true

Wonder why the selectors are so stubborn. Its obvious we have the wrong team out there. Cook being a prime example of a player who is not cut out for one day cricket yet because he's the test captain he's got to be the odi captain. Surely they have to change it after the series ends. I just think we only care about the ashes and nothing else.

Welbeck a bit light Weimann rarely plays as a central striker. He will for Arsenal and with players like Ozil and Ramsey who can thread balls through, watch him go! Excellent signing and 16 mil is a bargain.

Moeen looked a different class to the rest of England's batting. Thats how you play spin!

Is this the type of person we want at our football club then! Over inflated ego!

Oh well didn't know how he would fit into our midfield anyway.

RVP might be injured and Welbeck could be on his way out so a one year loan deal makes a lot of sense really.

Didn't he play Sterling in that position against Italy but then all the media wanted Rooney to play there.

He'll lower his demands

The last thing they need is more competition in midfield. Its at the back and up front where they are weak. He's world class and would be the main man. He wouldn't be 'competition' he'd be the first name on the teamsheet. They already have world class midfield players in Ramsey and Ozil. Anyway midfield is their strong area. They created an abundance of chances today.

Not for the first time I saw a kid who didn't want to shoot in case he got a bollocking during that move. When he cut inside and had it on his right there was a goal there for him, but instead he chose to offload it to Delph. Not the wrong call by any stretch, but I think a Jack Grealish with a bit more confidence takes that shot on and there was the tim before when Delph did shoot when he should have passed it to Grealish

Needs to get up to pace. Not a starter for me yet.

Outstanding first half performance. I thought Weimann and Gabby were great in that period. Overall a good team performance. Excited about Grealish. Delph and Westwood were ery good.

Brilliant. Weimann has been the outstanding player on the pitch imo

Good play, good finish

Looks a very small crowd.

Certainly Clarke is having a golden run in one day cricket this season. He has developed his skills nicely in that format, however the potential with Stokes is far greater. I remember the hundred he got at Edgbaston. I thought he was destined for greatness then. He hasn't really developed much though but probably needs time. The bigger problem I have is having Cook in the side as captain. Swann is right! I even think its last chance saloon for Ian Bell in odi cricket. I think Varun Chopra would be a better choice as captain but I'd prob go with Taylor... Also I don't think you need to have played at a high level to have an understanding of the game. Quite a few coaches around who weren't very good players. Sometimes you listen to the likes of Botham, Butcher and Atherton and wonder what they know about the game...

I thought Arsenal might challenge but I agree now Chelsea have a proper striker in Diego Costa I think they will run away with the league.

I do think its pretty ridiculous that James Taylor isn't in the squad. And having Joe Root as the second spinner when Moeen Ali isn't getting a game is bonkers....Even with Finn our bowling attack looks very samey... And Finn is not bowling as quick as he used to.

Is that Paul or Pete? Pete takes a Clarke flag to every game. One Rikki Clarke lol.... He'll be 33 by the time the world cup is on. I think his time has come and gone...

lack of width in that formation

Burnley 1-1 Man United Man City 2-0 Stoke Newcastle 3-0 Crystal Palace QPR 2-1 Sunderland Swansea 2-0 West Brom West Ham 2-1 Southampton Everton 2-2 Chelsea Villa 1-0 Hull Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool Leicester 0-2 Arsenal

In the second half of 2012/13 season I thought he was brilliant but only showed glimpses of that form last season. At Liverpool he was excellent. Seems better away from home when he has the space to in behind.
