I'll echo these sentiments. It's a push to say he's becoming a key player for them, he'll be back on the bench when their CBs and midfielders are in their correct positions. He's very good for his age though.
Apart from the running around bit, that's what a lot of United fans used to say about Carrick
Not everything on the pitch needs to be statistically analysed tbh. And he’s also young enough that he will probably increase his output over time.
So did Tom Cleverley.
No TAA, Grealish, Rashford in your preferred starting XI? Think that team misses a bit of experience (what e.g. Henderson could offer instead of someone like Foden or Jones as a starting player).
TAA is too weak defensively, his form seems to be picking up recently but i'm never convinced by him defending. Rashford is in poor form right now and I think Sterling's experience gives him the edge over Grealish.
And so does Luka Modric.
Fair points. You definitely have an intriguing team going into the Euros - could be anything from a group stage exit to winning the thing, but I guess that's often the case for England
People have been putting Sancho ahead of Rashford in England XIs for more than a year now because he plays in Germany and that excites them. Absolutely no reason he should be ahead. Yea, he’s worth 100m or whatever, but Rashford is bot on the market - otherwise he’d easily be worth more. He got 20 goals in Germany last season - Rashford got 20 here. Then there’s the fact that he’s never had a good game for England, whereas Rashford’s England record is very good.
Averaging a goal or assist roughly every 3 games across all his PL + CL minutes so far. Not too bad, especially for a 20 year old in a system that doesn't call for much end product from the CM's.
I'd have Sancho on the right and Sterling on the left.
He won’t. I think Southgate prefers Sterling, Rashford, Grealish, Mount and Foden to Sancho for those two wide positions. I suspect Saka will be in the mix too with his form in the right inside forward position for Arsenal recently too.
In fairness, Fred is showing that there's a role for that sort of player.
Central midfielders have been doing that for decades, to be fair.
No Grealish? That would be a big call considering the season he has had. I'd probably lean towards having Grealish take Sancho's place in this instance. Foden could go on the right with Grealish in AM.

Oh dear. That's more embarrassing than that gibberish interview he did after the Everton FA cup game.

Erm... Where have we seen black players react like that before? Maybe wait until there's a reason given so you don't all end up looking like d*ckheads.
Playing the race card now?
