Experience, versatility gives England element of surprise at Euro2016 - Liverpool ace Lallana

Liverpool ace Adam Lallana is feeling pretty confident about England's chances ahead of Euro2016.

The 28-year-old claims that the Three Lions squad has the perfect mix of much-needed experience and youthful energy, and the versatility in the ranks gives them an element of surprise.

"We've got the balance of a young, fearless team with a good blend of experience as well," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"It's great to be versatile and we've got different options or plans that we can switch to.

"I think it's good there is an element of surprise so the opposition don't know what we're doing. I think that's a massive positive going into the tournament.

"We're not just going to have 11 players that are going to feature, if we are going to do well then you need the whole 23.

"The manager stressed that, so regardless of what team he picks for each game and what happens, suspension and injury-wise, you could find yourself not playing a minute in the first three games and playing in a big match towards the end of the tournament.

"Whatever team the manager selects, everyone will be behind him and behind the team to keep doing well."
