I agree with what the pundits in the studio were saying, that playing out from the back isn't the wrong approach for England, that we shouldn't abandon what we've been doing, but that Stones has to start improving and we have to try and find some players in midfield with the ability to receive the ball on the half turn and players who can dictate play. That midfield three who started the game were either inexperienced (Rice) or nowhere near the level England need (Delph and Barkley). Maybe the likes of Winks, Foden, Maddison can improve our quality on the ball in midfield, who knows.
I thought De Jong was absolute class for Holland tonight. I see what McBain is saying about not getting carried away about young players but in the case of De Jong I think it's pretty clear he's the real deal. He'll fit in perfectly at Barca imo. De Ligt had a few dodgy moments tonight early on, but he grew into the game and I think he too is a player with a huge future, he's an absolute nightmare at set pieces and couldn't be playing alongside a better player.
