Whisper it, but maybe, just maybe, this manager knows what he's doing. Select your top three, in order.
Foden by a country mile Mainoo ****ing 19, you’ve got to be kidding Actually I’ll go with a bit of pudding for my third Rice it is….
I know it’s a matter of opinion but what did Pickford do to even be considered as MOTM? 1. Foden, all day long. 2. Mainoo, England’s own Kante. 3. Saka.
Foden, pick of the bunch first half, second half, I thought we struggled to get passes together. Mainoo, looks quality in the centre, should have been the option instead of Gallagher in the earlier games. Third could go to anyone, Pickford had some great saves, couldn’t do anything about the goal. Rice was advanced & really pushed the team forward. Walker had some great tackles back. I’d probably pick Rice as my third!
Foden Mainoo Pickford Some excellent performances all round, could easily have picked Saka and Watkins’ goal was worthy of MOTM on its own.
Five points for first choice, three for second, one for third. Foden 57 Mainoo 39 Pickford 10 Saka 8 Watkins 6 Rice 5 Walker 1 Foden and Mainoo in the groove now. Saka showing moments of brilliance. Defence looking reasonably tight. Rice comfortable linking defence and attack. Time for the superstars to step up though. Kane and Bellingham, the stage is yours.
