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.

Oh right
At least he’s been ripping it up as an attacking option!
0 goals 0 assists
Ahhhh well, maybe he does, something?

Spence is ok but not good enough to excel at international level, I cant look past having a right-footer at left back by choice.

If Spence and Solanke played for 17th place Everton then they wouldn't be in the England squad

He’s physical and can play on both flanks but I can’t say I’ve ever watched him and been that impressed.

Lewis Hall is the best of the left backs at the moment, and Reece James on the right if he can stay fit, is not too bad a combo.

Speaking of out for form, Foden just looks totally lost right now.
Double champ

Any chance garner plays tonight as reward for being MOTM or will the B team game have been pretty pointless?
