I think we have found a few good 1s in Pickford Trippier and McGuire. I’ve actually been quite impressed by sterling too.
Kane really hasn’t done much which performance wise which seems ridiculous given he’s top scorer. Still not convinced by Southgate though he’s obviously a likeable character
We seem to lack any real ability to open teams up. Think rashford and Lingard have looked a bit headless. Our midfielders all look limited
We haven’t shamed ourselves but we’ve been nothing more than competent either.
Kane was good in the group games, but whether it's tiredness or whatever he's been poor last few games. Also fell into the Rooney trap of trying to do too much.
Sterling has been a mixed bag, we've looked worse when he's not on, but also he's not exactly the answer either at times. He'd be contention though, be it squad or otherwise. He'd be a great option from the bench (our bench is very non impactful at the moment).
Southgate is still very much a question mark. Proven little as yet. Still think any England manager is hamstrung until we have the right players though.
It's all about the midfield for me. Add in a decent LB and that defence is good enough to compete. What we lack compared to this Belgium side? Hazard and De Bruyne. Someone who can pass, someone who can take players on. Put those two in our England side and we'd look very good I think.
We need to find two players somewhere in the youth setup, as we don't have them yet.
