That was like watching Jaap Stam's second season.
Can anyone explain why Foden, literally the only one showing movement or taking someone on with a degree of skill, got hooked instead of any of the other England midfield or forwards who were all absolute pish.
Kane looks like he's nowhere near match fitness - slow, ponderous and barely involved
Sterling looks like he's barely played any football recently - lots of terrible touches
Rice, Phillips and James looked like they had some sort of pavlovian condition to always pass sideways or backwards. The only thing Phillips sent forward was occasionally himself, never the ball.
I forgot Mount was playing.
And none of it improved when Grealish and Rashford came on. Because all of those players kept doing exactly the same.
