Young football manager Ben Graham today woke up with a huge dilemma, become the manager of a nation that expects everything ?
Easy choice then eh, job accepted. Firstly, a friendly against Holland which started with a squad of players which included youth and experience.
Starters; Joe Hart, Leighton Baines, John Terry, Jack Rodwell, Glen Johnson, Gareth Barry, Steven Gerrard, Theo Walcott, Ashley Young, Jermain Defoe and Emile Heskey.
The game was won 2-1 with good possession at times and limited Holland to long range efforts which Van Der Vaart sneaked in.
Two things have been decided relatively early into my stint as England manager Emile Heskey and David Beckham have played their last game's for the national team due to Graham wanting a fresh squad for the Slovenia game coming up.
