Script:
SOUNDBITE (English): Danny Welbeck, Manchester United and England
"Yeah, it was quite isolated (playing as the lone striker) at times but I think that at that level of football you are not going to get quite as much of the ball that you are used to and I think you have got to take it into your stride. I think that once you do get the ball you have got to hold the ball up and bring others into play."
SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Henderson, Liverpool and England
"Yeah, obviously I was delighted to get on (the pitch) but I think Steve (Gerrard) and Scotty (Scott Parker) did very well in there (the midfield) and I think they are both fit enough to last the whole game. But I was delighted to get on for the last 15 minutes and it was a good experience."
SOUNDBITE (English): Danny Welbeck, Manchester United and England
"Yeah, I think looking at it from a neutral perspective it will be a fun game (against Sweden) to watch but it is going to better for us and that once the game gets opened up there will be a few goalscoring opportunities being carved out."
