Cover: James Milner will have to be on his game
They will come down that side regularly and James Milner will have an important role in front of Glen Johnson to act as cover.
England must not allow overlaps and Milner needs to stay alert and switched on. It is one of the reasons why I’m sure Roy Hodgson will go for him ahead of the speed of Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Remember to attack!
I hope England are progressive and don’t just sit in and defend. We need to cause France a problem too and get at their back four.
Against Estonia last week, France looked like a team enjoying their football.
If England go behind in that heat, it will be a difficult task. An early England goal would make it very interesting.
