Looks very average to me this compared to the likes of Spain, france, Brazil and Germany.
That defence isn’t a defence that gives you a chance of winning a tournament.
Massive drop off from the likes of Walker, stones and shaw imo.
It feels like the age of the great CB died a while back, all seem a much of a muchness with fantastic technique but without that true CB prowess the likes of Campbell, Ferdinand, Terry etc had.
I don't know if that's just the Premier League or all leagues tbh, but seems to have been a thing for a while now here.
I think James if fit and Hall if he can cement a starting role before the world cup are really strong full back options with lots of attacking threat so this doesn't concern me a great deal. However if it ends up being Livramento and Spence I'd be fairly worried.
Gordon hasn't been great and hes a cunt but there needs to be some threat in behind, and him and Hall play together. Id go for Palmer or Foden over Saka with the latter being way off his best this season.
