The poor boy has been chosen for the game but not played yet. Is Sven ever going to play him or has he left it too late to try out a new player? I really feel the boy needs a chance!

I think he's abit too young, he hasn't even played in a premiership game yet, he's meant to be good tho.

It seems a waste of a squad space if he doesn't, we went into this tournament with Owen having only played a handful of minutes since New Year anddoubts over Rooney's fitness, there is a saying if you're good enough you're old enough but you have to think how players like Bent and Defoe must feel after Owen's injury and us down to three strikers, I don't understand the hype over Crouch as we had him at the Villa and he couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo.
If I was Sven I'd have had either of the two players above for the sake of a defender or even Walcott especially as Sven's never seen him play and his lack of top flight experience.
I'm not convinced by any of the squad at the moment apart from Stevie G, the press have over hyped England once again.

Definately, might as well use him now, Owen is injured leaving us with three strikers. There is no point in bring someone we aren't going to use.
Most of the other teams have bought seven defenders, seven midfielders, and six strikers. What do we do? We seven defenders, nine midfielders, and four strikers. If he left Stewert Downing (must have been McLaren's dumbass input, no offence to Downing), and Owen Hargreaves (no offence either, he wasn't that bad), we could have bought Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, and Darren Bent, along with Theo Walcott for back-up. He could have even took Hargreaves and left Jenas, I don't think he's played once either (in the WC).

walcott would be an ideal partner for Rooney up front. not only will England play a 4-4-2 formation but walcott is similar to Michael Owen in 1998 when he ran straight at the opposing defence and they backed off from him. walcott would create More chances in the 18 yard box both for himself and Rooney. this would also enable limped to get in among the defenders three-by allowing three strikers a chance on goal.

No Sven has now realised his mistake in taking a young inexperienced player to the world cup, having never seen the boy play??? I bet he wishes he had taken defoe or bent now as i'm positive they would have played -x-

He ought to be brought on as a substitute, but there has not been an opportunity yet.
Has he picked up a knock in training? I vaguely recollect reading that Rooney kicked him!
Sven ought to be playing Lennon more.

I think he should have played in the last game against Sweden to see what he could do, it seems unfair to throw him into a quarter / semi / final game without trying him first. Perhaps he would take it all in his stride , but it is a lot to ask of someone so young.

yes i think he should give him a go. they took him all the way out there if the was not going to play him he should not have got his hopes up and taken him out there. he can not do any wore than the rest of the team are.

I think they should at least let him play once. Give him a chance!
