You may have seen this comment on the BBC already but I thought it was worth putting on here. 40.Give us a song 5 Hours ago When Rickie was top scorer in League1, people said he wouldnt cope in the Championship When he was top scorer in the Championship people said he couldnt cope in the Premiership When he was English top scorer in the Premiership people said he couldn't cope at International Level. I imagine if he scored for our Universe, people would say he wouldn't cope against another dimension
Bad news...Rickie doesn't strictly play as a lone striker. He tends to drop back and create chances for others. Who is going to receive his pin point passes now? Wellbeck and Rickie looked good together.
Just checked out The FA's announcement on the Facebook page. Lots of "come on Rickie", "play Lambert then" and "Lambert will do the business" comments. Nice to see.
It'll have to be Walcott I guess. I imagine with Milner on the left Walcott will be given licence to get forward as much as possible. In fact I'd probably put Walcott on the left in Welbeck's normal position and play Milner on the right, Walker looked like he would need some help. But they won't do that, of course.
I'm praying for a Lambert goal in Tuesday, mainly because I want England to win and Rickie to do well, but also because I am desperate to use my drafted headline of "Rick-in Kiev!" Someone pass my coat.
