Just like he was against Malta. Its like he’s playing out of position or something.
Fans have been begging for him to play in midfield for a long time. He's admittedly got a good pass on him but that doesn't make a good midfielder.
Easy part of being a fan... We can call for things to happen, complain when we're not listened to, but we dont have to suffer the consequences when its tried, and fails
How to turn a truely golden generation into a shite squad of negativity whatever the result of any qualifiers whatever our fifa world ranking the minute we play a decent team in a game that matters Southgate will stifle any chance we have end of
I think you are massively overestimating our squad calling it a "golden generation"
we have two world class players and potentially two others - Trent and Sako. The rest are mid table premier league. The defence is arguably lower than that centrally.
Who's the second world class player not named Kane?
Saka is England's second best player and is clearly world class at this point.
Bellingham obviously.
Depending on people's definition of world class though i do think we have others.
He has, play has looked much slicker when it hasn't gone through him
Hopefully it'll put the arguments of the armchair managers that he'd be a great midfielder to bed.
I do think this lineup hasn't suited him. Alexander-Arnold is good when you need to probe about the place with fast players who want to stretch play and a striker who drops in to create space behind him. Watkins plays on the shoulder of the last defender and Grealish, Foden and Lewis want to shift the ball quickly in tight spaces with fast rotating triangles. Bit of a mismatch of personnel, he'd look much better with Saka, Kane and Rashford/Sterling I reckon, but he should still be doing more tonight than he has

who else in your mind mate?
also apologies all for mispelling Saka.
Would imagine Foden and Walker. Perhaps Rice too if we're judging potential.

I will be amazed if this game doesn't end with Lewis getting a red for a minor display of dissent or frustration. Ref is having far too much fun getting his time to miss the opportunity
What’s this trying to walk the ball snails pace bollocks I have seen since I’ve come home from work?
I just fear the set up and mentality is all too safey safe. FFS Gareth you have a squad up there with anyone in world football! Get them playing bravely and aggressively

Well for me 'world class' means one of the best in the world in their position, so aside from Kane, Bellingham and Saka i'd add Rice, Stones and Walker.
You could also add Trent but he isn't playing right back for England.
I'm gonna say I think when you talk about world class - there isn't many for any individual countries - I understand the point about Saka, but for the others, well I think world class has a different meaning to me.
I think the genuine "world class players" in my mind is in single figures that are playing today. So I guess that is whwre the difference is in my opinion.

More the wider Footballing world.
They'll be dancing on the streets of his home town tonight.

Could see an argument for both.
Rico Lewis in the future

I've never understood the hype about Saka.
I keep watching hoping to get it, but I never do.
