What I find the most outstanding part of Saka's England performances is the ability of managing to stay on his feet more often.
So why at Arteta's Arsenal is the cnut always rolling around feigning injury?
Hmmm makes me wonder

Different refereeing, and playing in a red shirt in the Premier League.
 
Mail report on most distance covered by players in the Euros. Anyone care to guess who the unnamed "England team-mate" ranking 5th" is ?

"Rice has run a staggering 63.9km (39.8 miles) across England's three group games, plus the last-16 and quarter-finals.

He is followed by the man he arguably replaced at Arsenal in Granit Xhaka (62km) while an England team-mate ranks in fifth. "

Foden 5th, Bellingham 11th.

I wouldn’t expect my 7 year old grandson to be as childish as the person who wrote that.

To be fair that is just the shitty way the Mail write most of their stories nowadays so you have to keep reading to find out what the headline might be referring to.

You don't see that arm in the air signalling for the bench before he's even hit the deck when he's wearing an England shirt.

"I'm injured. I need to come off...Oh I'm ok now!"
 
Have City done something to upset Craig Hope in the mail. He is so critical of the city players, he has been slagging them off all tournament.

His performance ratings yesterday says Rice lost the ball for their goal but he recovered well and he gave him a 7.5 rating, same as Phil

Kyle was apparently more responsible for their goal and can’t defend or create anything was rated 5.5

He is a Newcastle fan and says Foden was deservedly subbed and Trippier was rated at 6.5

Every line up he wants has Foden replaced, usually for Gordon.

Lots of media hate toward our Phil, the truth is, he’s so far ahead of his team mates in his positional play and running into spaces, they are literally making him look a player who’s playing way below his ability ..
it doesn’t help when the likes of Bellingham don’t interact with him or pass to him ..

Some will say I’ve got my City specs on but that’s an honest appraisal based on the times I’ve watched games during this tournament..

He’s just too good fir em ..

Spot on ! England players pass the easy ball and very rarely through the lines, where Phil is asking for the the ball continuously. Easily the best player on the pitch and covered more ground than anyone else.

I agree regards Bellingham in particularly. Last night Phil played to the right and Bellingham to the left, stopping Bellingham running into where Foden was.

Foden is far more creative and unselfish than media darling Bellingham
