http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leighton-Baines-c21987 will make waves in the European Championships, but face stiff competition for a place in the starting lineup.
Baines, who was at first the lone Evertonian player in the 23-man national squad, was later joined by his club team-mate Jagielka after Manchester City midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Barry-c14423 was ruled out of the competition after suffering a groin injury.
While talking to the media about what might be the Three Lions possible starting-eleven during the European Championships, Snodin opined that Baines, who plays at the left back position, is expected to start on the bench as Roy Hodgson will likely go with
his more experienced option in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Cole-c6809 who plays at the same position.
However, he went into raptures about the defender’s notable contributions for Everton last term and pointed out that he will breathing down Cole’s neck.
He told the club’s official website, “Baines has been outstanding for Everton for two seasons now and he's getting closer and closer. I'm not saying he'll start the first game, but depending on Ashley Cole's performance, Leighton will be pushing him for
a starting position.”
When asked who he thought was the better player between the two, the 48-year old responded by saying that there was very little to choose between the two as they were perfectly matched.
Jagielka, who appeared in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joleon-Lescott-c18941 in the centre back position. The Manchester City player is considered as one
of the best defenders in the Premier League.
However, Sharp believes that given a chance to represent the Three Lions during the tournament, he will go on and make a massive impact, as he is currently carrying scintillating form from Everton.
He told the reporters, “I think he just needs a chance at the top level, and by that I mean three or four games on the trot so he can build up his experience and get used to international football.”
England will kick off their Euro campaign against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 on 11th of June.
