    Alphonso Davies. Go to sleep Bobby.

    Modric is old news. Busquets still gets in for me if I’m being a fanboy though.

    Modric is still utter class, world XI though? Not convinced.

    Be interesting to see how Wijnaldum does next year if his club are happy to play him a bit further forward. He was astounding for us and has been good for Liverpool but far from what I think his level actually is. Think he's going to have a storming season and will be entering this discussion in a years time - I'm calling it.

    Modric is still quality. To be fair outside of KDB and Kante, there wasn't really a standout CM for me so i went for Modric who can still control a game.

    Good shout on alphonso. Forgot about him.

    This the same Gini who was struggling in this years ****ty liverpool team or the same Gini who Liverpool won't even pay up for (and no other clubs either, which is why he's going on a free)?

    England have dominated the midfield in all 4 games, yet no one thinks the CM's have been any good?

    mate, this is like you and jessie, 4 games doesn't make a player. There's form and theres how good a player is. These 4 (and more games) might make them a cult hero.

    This is Fossie level of player rating.

    We never dominated against Scotland?

    I think our midfielders have been good. Kalvin Phillips has had decent press coverage because of his performances, especially in the first couple of games.

    Rice has been top quality for a few season now, not just 4 games. And as to Lingard, I said 'at the moment', and he was, a 1:1 goal ratio + an assist every other game, pissed over everyone else's stats at the time, and it was 9 games, not 4.
