Lennon making case for England recall, insists Martinez

The key mistake in question came from Phillip Wollscheid, whose wayward pass was seized upon by the speedy Aaron Lennon, who was allowed to race through on goal and put away the third.

Huge game at the Britannia on Saturday as Stoke City host Everton in what should be a good match up between two good sides.

Lennon, capped 21 times, last played for his country in their friendly win over Brazil in February 2013, but Martinez feels he remains a viable option for the tournament in France.

Behind the sharp foot of Romelu Lukaku, the head of Seamus Coleman and the incredible speed of Aaron Lennon, Everton won their second game in a row and avenged their late December loss to the Potters in a 3-0 blowout that was over by halftime.

– Romelu Lukaku has scored 16 Premier League goals this season, the joint-most by an Everton player in a single season along with Tony Cottee in 1993-94. The Belgium worldwide was forced off in the midweek win over Newcastle with a back problem which left him struggling to walk but not before trying to soldier on for the good of the team.

Although John Stones misses out through injury, perhaps he was due to be taken out of the firing line somewhat following a challenging run of games, but recent returnee Phil Jagielka seems to have made a huge difference and will give his team a better chance here of handling the unsafe Marko Arnautovic.

“You run out of compliments you can pay to Rom”. He is an old-fashioned footballer, at the age of only 22.

“We just wanted to continue from the last two games where we won and got clean sheets, and we’ve got another one here which isn’t easy and we’re delighted to win today”. “He is a goalscorer who is obsessed with finishing quality”.

Those heroics will have been of little comfort to Stoke manager Mark Hughes, whose side continued to offer little in attack and were booed by some of the home fans at the final whistle. We are still negotiating and I’m quite comfortable with where we are with it. “It’s ongoing and will continue to be I’m sure, maybe up until the summer – if so, so be it. “We still think we have something we can offer him he will be delighted with”.

“We have an opportunity this week to get on the training pitch and do some specific work. We have to pick ourselves up and start doing the fundamentals and basics”.
