England should start James Milner and Daniel Sturridge at Euro 2016, says Peter Reid. Reid, who won 13 caps for England between 1985 and 1988, has picked his ideal starting line-up as England prepare to kick off the tournament against Russia in Marseille on June 11.

With great debate over who should start for England and the formation they should deploy, Reid told Sky Sports News HQ he would include the Liverpool duo of midfielder Milner and striker Sturridge in a 4-2-3-1 formation. He said: I would go with Hart in goal. Across the back its going to be Walker, Smalling, Cahill and Rose. England manager Roy Hodgson says he almost knows his starting XI for the start of Euro 2016. What Id do in the middle of the park, Id go with two holding midfielders. Id go with Milner - hes a consistent type of player who doesnt give the ball away - and Dier.The three in front of him, Dele Alli has got to play on the left side for me because hes been outstanding. Rooney Id play in there, in terms of going forward, but as he showed in the FA Cup final [against Crystal Palace] he goes back and makes tackles.On the right side, if hes fit, Ive seen him play plenty in this position, Id go with Sturridge. Hes another one with pace who can get a goal.Up front Im sorry to say Vardy would miss out and Id go with Kane but weve got a lot of exciting and talented players on the bench. Reid would have Wayne Rooney [L] and James Milner [R] in his England line-up Although Reid is positive about the England team going forward, he does have concerns over the defence, which is why he believes Roy Hodgson should set his team up with two holding midfielders.The team worries me defensively, he said. I would have two so-called holding midfielders in there but we would have to tighten up defensively. Reid made 13 appearances for England In this squad I do see goals and we have Vardy, who can come on and get a goal. Hes been absolutely outstanding. We have Sterling, Lallana and Henderson as well so we have got talent in there.

Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Golden Tate each used the word in some fashion after the Seahawks beat San Francisco to win the NFC championship Sunday. It was their way of responding to critics who have panned Seattles receiving corps as one of the weak points in the Seahawks roster. "It irritates the hell out of me when weve got guys who constantly want to talk about our receiving corps," Baldwin said after the 23-17 win over the 49ers. "Talking about were average. Were pedestrian. Were going to walk our ... to the Super Bowl. Pedestrians." Seattles receiving crew was supposed to have more experience and be considered a strength before the season began. Thats when the Seahawks were expected to have Percy Harvin and Sidney Rice as their starters, with Baldwin, Tate and Kearse filling secondary roles as extra receivers catching passes from Russell Wilson. But then Harvin missed 15 of 16 regular-season games following hip surgery in August and Rice was lost for the year after Week 8 with a knee injury. Its left an unheralded, underappreciated group as Seattles pass catching options. And while they despise being cast as a weak link, they also are more than happy to use those slights as motivation. Perhaps no player feeds off the negativity more than Baldwin. Before the NFC title game, the undrafted free agent out of Stanford talked about carrying a "boulder" around on his shoulder, not a chip. Then he made sure to note that pundits on Sunday morning were again pointing to Seattles receivers as the reason Wilson and the pass game had been struggling. "They were talking about Russell Wilson was struggling and the reason he was struggling was his receiving corps was appetizers," Baldwin said. "Ill take that. Ill be an appetizer. But thats a good ... appetizer if you ask me." Baldwin responded with one of the best games in his career on Sunday. He finished with six catches for 106 yards — the second-most in his three seasons — including a 51-yard reception in the first half that helped loosen the 49ers defence..dddddddddddd. But he wasnt alone. Tate had four receptions and Kearse made one of the biggest catches in his young career. On fourth-and-7 early in the fourth quarter, Wilsons hard count got the 49ers to jump into the neutral zone. Knowing it was a free play, Seattles receivers broke off the original routes and headed vertical to the end zone. Kearse was able to get a step on Carlos Rogers and pulled in a 35-yard TD pass from Wilson with 13:44 left that gave Seattle a 20-17 lead that the Seahawks did not relinquish. "When you run a route you got to always expect that the ball could come to you. But when the ball is in the air its all instinct, its all play-making ability," Kearse said. "Russ threw a good ball at me, it just shows the trust he has in us and you know well just try to make the best of every opportunity." Then later, prodded by Baldwin, Kearse followed the line in the wide receivers room. "Im just a pedestrian trying to walk my way to the Super Bowl," he said. What makes Seattles group of receivers unique is the lack of credentials. Take Harvin out of the equation, and of Seattles top five receivers, four were undrafted: Baldwin, Kearse, Ricardo Lockette and Bryan Walters. Tate was the only draftee, taken in the second round in 2010. Its another example of general manager John Schneiders ability to unearth hidden talents, but the group also comes with a built-in motivation to prove wrong anyone who overlooked or undervalued their potential. They also play in an offence where numbers will never be extraordinary. Only four times in 18 regular and post-season games this season did Seattle attempt 30 or more passes. Three times they didnt even attempt 20 throws. That leaves limited opportunities when the offence calls for the tight end and running backs to be involved in the pass game as well. And all that is without Harvin, who is expected to have recovered from a concussion in time for the Super Bowl. "At the end of the day, we want to be a team that makes the big play when we need to," Wilson said. "Always make the consistent ones, but make the big play when we need to, and the guys have done that all year." ' ' '
