I thought he would be thrown in at LB. He played well, it was never a pen regardless of whether his arm might have hit the player in the face. It wasn't an elbow, it wasn't malicious. Football is a contact sport and that was a joke.
The fact TAA was unable to get on the ball and do anything against Malta or North Macedonia should...should...see that plan binned. He's never going to be able to do it against anyone better where there's no time on the ball at all.
I feel for Ward Prowse, sat at home, watching those farcical performances. Tournament football is settled on fine margins generally. A solid defence can often trump all out attack. But you need the right players to get you through tight games. A late free kick, funnily enough exactly what we had against France in the World Cup. The best English set piece taker sat at home when he could literally come on just for the final few minutes to try and make the most of a corner. And if he had to start, he'd do a better job than TAA, Gallagher or Henderson.
