The only thing Lee Dixon said all game that made any sense was when he asserted that everyone would forget most of the dross if England actually won the game.
Essentially that's what happened, so despite equalizing with a last minute "Hail Mary"(have City ever scored from a Kyle Walker long throw?) and then taking the lead with an absolute fluke (England don't score if Eze connects properly) we suddenly discover that Billy Big Boots Bellingham is once more our Golden Poster Boy.
Utter dross and our only hope is that Switzerland attack and leave gaps for England to exploit on our the counter attack. Otherwise it will be more of the same.
In the real world, Walker is starting to look 34 and I've actually been far more disappointed with Stones than Foden who simply can't get in the game with those team mates and that formation. He's a "moments" player, but frequently starved of the ball, because Bellingham is also a "moments" player and tries too hard running down blind alleys, and ultimately winning a throw-in.
I don't know why, but Stones looks nervous and error-ridden, whereas for City, he's often driving into the gaps and creating overloads.
Rodri executes a pass before Rice even sees it, but we haven't got a better holding midfielder than Rice. Ditto Harry Kane: Limited football intelligence, but still our best striker.
Mainoo did okay, but was also caught ball watching on 2-3 occasions leaving the defence outnumbered. He might be a promising talent, but that's it.
6/10 when many of his teams mates were equally peripheral or worse.
Meanwhile Pickford's antics frighten me to death. He might as well have "stupid penalty incoming" tattooed on his forehead.
