I thought they all looked pretty decent technically tbh - all comfortable on the ball Zinchenko and Sudakov look real good on the ball
what are you expecting of Maddison on the wing? He's not now nor will he ever be a winger he's only playing because Gareth didn't bother calling up replacements for the pull outs
He is starting to play his normal game now Looking better as the game progresses Nightmare scenario for Southgate
I don't get this constant whining here. England plays well, especially after the first 30 minutes, midfield works perfect, Bellingham dictates play as he should.
I'm not criticising Bellingham or rice. They're both outstanding players. But every player plays it safe. No one to play a forward pass
Rice tried to find Saka out on the wing a few times but they weren’t good enough and their left back intercepted each time
It’s an average game and everyone is basically trying to see this through without injuries. Nothing more than that.
Who doesn't piss you off? You must be hell to watch a game with. England playing well against a side who are not pushovers at all. I can't say any sides who would score 3 or 4 against this Ukrainian team. I think everyone had a good game, yes, Maddison too, even if he was played out of position.
