Maddison, Grealish, Eze, Foden are tearing it up in the toughest league in the world. To different extents all of them have imo opinion either been under used or badly used (Maddison played for 30 mins as a sub and then had to wait 3 years for his next cap and got played as a winger)

I think Southgate should use these games coming up to see which of those 4 would be best in a front 5 with Bellingham, Kane, Saka, Rashford .

That's a positive move and this is what most England fans want and fail to get from Southgate.

PS. As a final thought are any of the usual of European football winners flush with world class players right now? France yes but the other 'big 3' all struggling for form right now
I’d say no English player are on par with the ones I mentioned (and some that I omitted).

Bellingham might be, the others are a no (not that they are bad, but the ones I mentioned were world beaters).

Agreed 100 % about the lack of quality with ”the usual big ones” - France being the exception.
