Stuart Pearce names controversial England XI to face Lithuania including Liverpool and Man Utd stars but NO Arsenal aces

LW) Daniel Sturridge

It has been proved again and again that the 25-year-old is ineffective on the wing. He is also probably England’s best finisher, so why would you stick him out wide?

RW) Raheem Sterling

Another player who is far better through the middle, but Pearce appears to be stuck in a time where skillful players have to be on the wing.
