England manager, Fabio Capello, has today sung the praises of Manchester United winger, Ashley Young.

After some great form for England, scoring and assisting goals, Capello has hailed the impact moving from Aston Villa to United has had on his performances.

"The pressure Young has to face in every game is big so it is normal when he plays for England.

We've had a couple of days now since we beat Leverkusen and have seen AVB make changes for the game and the Sunderland game. I don't think any of us are certain as to who starts against Manchester United on Sunday so this is a chance to air your view on who YOU think should play the game.
Now think about things.

1. It's not often we'll beat Chelsea 3-1 and still feel like that at the final whistle. Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted with the result and don't want to come across as too much of a brat, but it wasn't an enjoyable second half. After thrashing them in the first half we seemed to lose the plot in the second.

There's usually two schools of thought after particularly awful matches things could be so bad that some swear off the football for awhile, the things they've seen never to unseen. Or there's the view that another match can't come quickly enough, regardless of whether or not it promises something better.

Liverpool winger Stewart Downing has revealed he hopes to emulate former Aston Villa team-mate Ashley Young and earn a regular spot in Fabio Capello's England squad.
Young has become a regular fixture in Capello's starting XI over the past year, scoring his first international goals against Denmark in February and Switzerland in June.

Summer transfer window winners and losers: Football Spy Darren Lewis rates each Premier League club's business

Arsenal: LOSERS Are Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun really adequate replacements for Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri? Arsene Wenger left his shopping far too late.

Stewart Downing claims Kenny Dalglish has given him the confidence to become an England hero.
By his own admission, the winger has had an up and down England career, but he is now aiming to follow former Aston Villa teammate Ashley Young in becoming a regular for Fabio Capello.
Like Young at Manchester United, Downing has been on top form since swapping clubs in the summer - and our new No.

Two goals from Wayne Rooney helped England to an impressive hammering of Bulgaria in Sofia and moved the three lions one step closer to next summer's Euro 2012.

England got off to a good start when Gary Cahill, who played really well, scored his first goal for his country. Cahill chested down Barry's terrific chip over a static home defence before nudging the ball past the on-rushing keeper.

Why complacency is as big a threat to England than Wales on Tuesday

The danger for England on Tuesday is that the memory of such an easy victory at the Millennium Stadium in March could still be floating around the minds of the squad as it prepares for the penultimate Euro 2012 qualifier.

It's hard to imagine how Ashley Bares (Ozaukee/Marquette) could have had a better summer.

Bares scored the second goal as Stjarnan beat visiting Afturelding 3-0 last Tuesday night in Garðabær, Iceland, to clinch the club's first Urvalsdeild championship.

England did a football match against Wales last night. It wasn't particularly good, but they won 1-0 anyway chiefly because Ashley Young scored a goal and Robert Earnshaw, thankfully, spent the last few years under the tutelage of the Forest striker's coaches.

Stewart Downing was in fine form as England beat Wales 1-0 at Wembley to put themselves on the brink of qualification for Euro 2012.
The Liverpool winger capped a lively display by setting up Ashley Young's 35th minute winner.
Meanwhile, Anfield teammate Andy Carroll was introduced as a late substitute for the Three Lions.

Over the past few years of the Ashley regime the NUFC faithful have had good reason to become discontented. However after drifting into yet another football based discussion at work, I had to think to myself, IS IT ALL THAT BAD? Before I even begin I will clarify, this is not a pro-Ashley post, I [..

As the Euro 2012 qualifying round winds down, the cream is rising to the top.

Defending champion Spain and Italy joined Germany as powerhouses to qualify for next summer's tournament finals after victories over Lichtenstein and Slovenia, respectively, on Tuesday.

David Villa and Alvaro Negredo each netted braces in Spain's 6-0 victory that cemented the nation's place atop Group I, while Giampaolo Pazzini's late goal gave Italy a 1-0 win and guaranteed first place atop Group C.

Why Ashley Young and Fabio Capello are my Champ and Chump of the Week

Champ of the Week: Ashley YoungAshley Young's 35th minute winner against plucky Wales on Tuesday night might well have been England's only real effort on target but Young firmly established himself as a quality international with his work rate, skill and understanding with Wayne Rooney in both Euro 2012 qualifiers.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew believes that Steven Taylor deserves an England call up.

The 25-year-old centre back has been in oustanding form in a Magpies defence that has kept three clean sheets and only conceded two goals in five games.

"Steven Taylor is probably playing the best football of his career for me," said Pardew.

Liverpool came out firing, looking to put doubts to rest in the wake of Sunday's shambolic visit to White Hart Lane—or, for the players who had been left out against Tottenham, perhaps attempting to show the manager that they were more deserving of starting roles.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard relieved injury 'nightmare' is over

• Gerrard returned to action in Carling Cup win over Brighton • 'It's been tough – the last six months have been a rollercoaster' The Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is pleased his "nightmare" is finally over after ending a six-month injury lay-off.

Kenny Dalglish has spoken of his delight at seeing Steven Gerrard return to competitive action following six months out after requiring surgery on a troublesome groin injury.

The Liverpool captain played 16 minutes of the Carling Cup win at Brighton last night and Dalglish believes having Gerrard back in the fold could be huge for the team.

1. After making a better start to the season than Sir Alex Ferguson has ever managed with Manchester United, we dropped our first points on Saturday evening. Based on the performance, we can have no complaints. We didn't create enough opportunities to score and didn't deal with the Freak well enough for a cross.

Stewart Downing: The First Six Games

AnfieldIndex Liverpool FC Stats | Liverpool FC Blog | Liverpool FC Forum Stewart Downing came to Liverpool with many fans feeling that we had settled for second best after United had signed Ashley Young.

Manchester United blew a 2 goal half-time lead as Basle drew 3-3 at Old Trafford tonight, with Ashley Young having to pull it out of the fire for a lacklustre United in the 90th minute with a headed equaliser.

Manchester United were involved in an error ridden Champions League goal fest at Old Trafford last night. It was a roller-coaster of a game, it finished up 3-3. Basel were two-nil down at half-time, but fought back strongly in the second-half and deservedly led 3-2 thanks to goals by Alexander and Fabien Frei.
