We moved Harry Kane off the England ladder top spot. Again. We've put him back in top spot. Again. We simply refuse to learn.
Not sure we’ve seen an England midfielder play any better than Bellingham in those first 45 minutes against Italy. Faded slightly in that game and still looked a touch weary – if still largely imperious – against Ukraine. Lots of miles in those young legs this season. Absurdly good, though, and absurdly crucial.
Telling that Southgate included him specifically in his discussion of right-backs and the vast numbers thereof England have available. Playing there has been great for him and Arsenal this season, but the only thing that now gets him back in the England squad – barring injury catastrophe – is that centre-back versatility. Because England’s embarrassment of right-back riches is not quite replicated in the middle, is it?Out of sight, out of mind is always the danger for overseas-based contenders.
