I feel sorry for Phillips having to do 2 man job by himself... rice is not good enough at this level yet, not at all... he has been non existent and feel sorry for phillips.... Phillips is doing what Hoj had to do for us most of last season

much of a muchness for me. Think they’re both slightly overrated. Grealish can get on the ball deep he can take players out of the game with his ball carrying. It would open up so much space and give a chance to get more people forward. At the moment it’s just long ball into isolated forwards.

Yet again Kane has not been fed any balls to work with. Best English strike...one of the best strikers in the world... no balls into him. Get Grealish on to feed the balls like Dele used to do.

Criminal not starting with Grealish. Negligent if he doesn’t make the change at half time.

Here's a thought England, put the fucking ball in the box!
Lost count of how many times Harry Kane and usually a n other were in the box and James and Phillips and mount and Foden fucked about with it out wide and eventually just went backwards.
Too much quick quick, busy busy, work work, bang bang and not enough working smart, maybe Mount, Foden and Sterling is one too many of that flashy running player.
Maybe change for Grealish who actually holds onto the ball and sees beyond or even DCL to partner Kane up front.
Chances are Scotland will flag and we'll win this with this team anyway but I just think we're missing a cog.

I get it mount is a good player but I dunno I just don't get it with him.

Obviously he's been Chelsea's best player all season etc. maybe he's just not as good in an England shirt.

God this is dull stuff from England. Far too ponderous in the build-up, too many times the ball goes forward then gets passed all the way back to the defenders. Seems like there's little movement and no creativity. It's just ineffectual possession football, like they're waiting for the opposition to fall asleep.

Phillips is not non-existent Rice is!

That could be said of every major England player from 2000 onwards.

Why does Mount keep trying to pick out Foden from corners when he’s the size of my 6 year old nephew?
