Player Valuation: £40m
England are totally lost in my opinion.
Static, slow, lazy, sloppy, stagnant, nervous, no ideas, no energy, no enthusiasm.
Playing a right back in centre mid in the hope he can hit long balls is desperate. Meanwhile the other top teams have established high-quality midfielders who are experts in their positions.
The absolute worst part for me is how compact and slow they play. When in possession, there is zero movement, no one making runs, dragging opposition players. They all just amble around, or literally stand still, waiting for something to happen.
Southgate should’ve solved this already, but appears to be clueless. This should’ve all been ironed out during qualifiers and friendlies.
Likewise, you’d hope the players have enough about them to solve the problems themselves in-game, but that is shockingly absent. They looked scared and clueless in the second half today.
At this rate, I expect England to squeeze through to the second round, get knocked out then, and be lucky not to get an absolute hiding by a coherent team that actually play functional, coherent football.
