Downing To Start Against Holland ?
The media talk is Wright Phillips will play down the left. I can't see that with
Stewart Downing getting his first call up.
Sven loves 442 and will want to start Downing, albeit in a high profile friendly, rather than have to start with him in a high profile World Cup qualifier right?
England starting with Wright Phillips out of position, is arguably a nonsense when you have a possible shit hot young left winger you want to blood on the level.
Downing will start and gain his first cap. I hope.
Stewart Downing looks like a very nice left midfielder, just what England and Sven have been looking for. If Downing does'nt start against Holland I will be surprised.
