Former Chelsea striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-c35440 Cascarino believes Jack Wilshere should be a first team starter
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 in their upcoming Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales.
Cascarino believes that Wilshere’s performances in the ongoing 2010-11 season have proved that the Arsenal star is one for the future. He has huge respect for Lampard and feels that the Chelsea midfielder has still plenty to offer but the time has come that
Capello should look towards the future.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987 international feels that Wilshere can be answer to Capello’s problems and he will be a top player in the next decade.
“Frank Lampard or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463? It’s not a selection dilemma. Wilshere has to start and Lampard has to accept life as a substitute. I rate Lampard highly and aged 32 he still has more to offer but this is Wilshere’s time now. If Fabio Capello does select
him in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 tomorrow and not the Chelsea man that will be a powerful statement because once managers pick a kid ahead of a veteran they very rarely make U-turns,” he said. “It will be a sign that Capello believes Wilshere will be
a mainstay of the team for years, as he should be. There’s no reason why the Arsenal midfield player won’t be England’s engine room for years to come.”
The 48-year-old continued that Lampard’s international performances have not been up to the standards compared to what he has done with his club Chelsea. He added that Lampard has performed in bits and pieces for England and has not performed consistently
throughout his international career.
He continued to praise Wilshere and said that his performance against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League over the two legs was phenomenal and he has proved to the world that he can play against any opponent.
The former Aston Villa star added that Wilshere should be played in an attacking role as he possess stamina, poise, speed and technique to deliver at the highest level. He expects the young midfielder to excel straightaway with the national team.
