Any competent manager would build this team around PhilThis is an astonishingly boring midfield 3. Rice is a decent CDM, Henderson's an ageing workhorse and TAA's a giddy right-back.
With Bellingham unavailable and Phillips having hardly played, how is Phil not given a shot here? Southgate said before he couldn't play him in midfield because he didn't play there for us, but he has been playing there for us and surely he'd add some drive and flair.
