We're not sure Gareth Southgate's job in cutting 33 to 26 is actually any easier after that 3-0 win over Bosnia, but a few players have made their point.
It was a game that was only ever going to viewed through the prism of how Gareth Southgate trims 33 to 26. There were conspicuous winners in that regard in the 3-0 win over Bosnia, but not everyone took their chance on a night England came through with no new injury concerns.One loose early pass brought to mind the Belgium error from the last international break that left the tiniest of dents in his “Never let England down, though” record.
At half-time he looked in trouble, but that much-improved second-half performance highlighting the range of his talents will have given Southgate pause. One crossfield effort in particular that he placed perfectly onto the moving target of Jack Grealish’s right foot from fully 60 yards away was utterly delicious, while the precision if not necessarily the cleanliness of the strike for his goal was top-class.
Faded slightly in the second half before making way for Jack Grealish, a previous recipient of The Clamour. Before tonight we might have considered the two in direct competition for one squad place marked ‘tricky maverick’ but we’d definitely leave out any one of the assorted unconvincing spare centre-backs to get them both on the plane now.Stayed on his feet to get a shot away after being cleverly found by Palmer.
