The greatest trick Southgate has pulled is in creating what is basically a carbon

Southgate has also come up with 'the love train' at set pieces.

Saying we have no creativity is harsh, though. Henderson can pick a pass, Lingard has a spark about him etc.

They created about 40 chances between them in the league last season. Slightly more than one a game. This is also in teams with better players. The only creative player England have is Alli and I don’t think he has ever had a decent game for England.

I think the snidey, spursy **** is carrying a (at least) minor injury.

Seems to be rubbing his thigh / hamstring a lot.

In any case, not once, has he played a pass through the defence to Kane (as he seems to every week for them) at this WC.

I'm sure he would have done versus Panama had he played, but then again, so could Stephen Hawking against that lot. And he's dead.

An in form jack could have provided a bit more flair. Equally, they’re also missing the Ox. I’m not sure Lingard and Alli together is productive.
Very frustrating to watch Lingard get hunted down like some petrified wilderbeast, each time he found himself in space upfront.

What's with the piece of coloured sellotape Debbi has on his thigh?
