I was in the England team the day Frank Lampard made his debut against Belgium.
It's really important that we leave an attacking threat on the field and I'd be amazed if the in-form Rickie Lambert doesn't start. He must keep hold of the ball well in this match because we'll be under pressure and it's vital the ball doesn't bounce back when we go forward. Lambert must make the ball stick and bring the likes of Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Jack Wilshere into play. I think James Milner will probably play in one of the wide areas, but I'd like to see some real pace out there to cause them problems and occupy the full-backs. I often play golf with Andriy Shevchenko and he's been very impressed with the young Ukrainian side. We've had a little side bet on this game because he thinks they're looking strong and their pace might be a bit too much for us. I'm obviously hoping it will be a different story. I feel playing away from home may suit us because we can sit back and play on the counter-attack. We need to keep the ball well - we've done that well at times but not often enough - and the three players in central midfield need to be on top of their game because that's where we're strong. A draw would be a great result for us on Tuesday night because if we can take a point and win our final two games at Wembley then we'll win the group. I think it will be a tight and nervy game, but I fancy us to draw 1-1. And with the way that he plays and the way his career has gone, it wouldn't surprise me if Frank was to pop up and score a vital free-kick or penalty at some stage on his 100th appearance!
