Smalling is very handsy - he gets away with a lot of fouls for manhandling. What's the betting a ref will choose to be stricter when it matters most in the summer?
I'd like to see a midfield pairing of Dier and Drinkwater. No ****ing chance of that at the Euros though.
Again, Stones is superb with the ball at his feet. But can't defend to save his life. The England side just needs to go back to basics. Have square pegs in square holes again.
Been watching and following and was a bit confused at the praise for Rose. Thought he was a bit awkward, ungamely. Stones looks better for the game and Drink water dependable. Nothing outstanding in defence, but decent promise. After Satdee it was a game too far. Referee and Holland won, we drew.
Whose prospects improved tonight - whether through their own play or the failings of rivals for places? Drinkwater Vardy Cahill Welbeck Dele Alli Anyone who can hit a corner with the leg peg from the right. Whose got bleaker? Stones The ref Milner Walcott Perhaps Sturridge
I hope Rashford gets picked as a bit of a wildcard after watching these two matches but frankly there is a cat's chance in hell of it, Woy won't think outside the box so Milner will waste a space in the squad because ' he can play in a lot of positions'
