Mainoo gets all the plaudits but can we all please just stop a moment and admire that cross from Flukaku? "Great touch for a big lad"(TM). Gets better the more you look at it from different angles, it's like prime Quaresma.
As for the hype around England's amazing cohort of players that's apparently favourite for the Euros, sorry I'm still not feeling it. I mean if I start at the back, Pickford doesn't fill me with confidence. Then I move onto the defence, let's compare with the true golden generation that didn't reach any finals. Nobody has the LB position nailed down at present, pick whomever you think is the best we have there, and then compare with Ashley Cole. HAHajhahahahja.
Then we're on the the CBs. Southgate will pick Maguire if fit. Contrast with golden generation, where we had to bench one of Campbell, Ferdinand and Terry, all of whom are so far clear of the current CBs. Heck when fit even the backup-backup CBs like King and Woodgate could get in this current side. In midfield, yes Bellingham is top notch, Rice is looking good, but you can't tell me Gerrard/Lampard/Scholes/Beckham etc weren't good players even if we never figured out how to get the best out of them all at international level. Up front I'm not convinced Kane is that much better than prime Rooney and Owen was as good as our other strikers. The only area the current team possibly has an edge is Saka is probably a more dangerous wideman than we had back then (albeit Beckham compensated well for not being the best at skinning his fullback with his incredible crossing from deep).
Look, Kane and Bellingham are amongst the hottest stars in Europe right now but we aint winning anything with that keeper and defence, sorry boys I'm not having it it's embarrassingly poor compared to yesteryear.
