It’s a tough one that - but right - watched McGuire last night in far corner and he kicked the ball in to touch because he couldn’t wrap his foot around it to clear up field - how is he playing ? However do we really have anything head and shoulders better, in fairness to Philips though I don’t believe he’s international class hasn’t played first team football for months and is asked to play at the highest level.

It come s back to the man in charge I’m afraid he got away with one yesterday ( southgate ) that is - his de motivation speech at half time must have been something to behold , and his inability to change and stop the oppositions shape and head of steam was there for all to see at international level that’s not acceptable imo anyway.

We have a crop of footballers who are elite and if you like a golden generation but we need to making better use of them.
