Weird comment. He's playing in exactly the position he plays at Spurs, as an attacking left back. Having a decent game from what I've seen (missed the first half). Luis Enrique is doing a very good job too in Spain's transition period

For me it seems he's playing a very defensive roll this and the match before. Think he could play more in the attack agains Ukraine 4th team.
He's barely been in his own half as far as I've seen.
In other news, Luis Enrique is rocking a cool Stone Island top, casual sportswear fans
That’s where most right wings retire tbf
My God what has happened to spanish NT? That lineup today was possibly the worst I have seen in my living memory.
Their team was never this average even during their banter era pre 2008.

I thought he was horrendously bad in the second half.
I'm 65 mins into this one, Skip was neat, tidy and tenacious first half, but sloppy pass that led to the pen start of the second but that was never a penalty. England seem to have gone to sleep bit so far this half - and/or Turkey have come out with a bit more purpose. The main concern with Skipp is his physicality/athleticism. He is tenacious and technically sound, looks to pass vertical when possible too, and he can change direction reasonably quickly, but he's not got the physique or power that some people like in a 6 and he's not as dynamic and energetic as great little-uns like Kanye/Makalele. I'd still have him in our midfield over donkeys like Sissoko/Dier etc and he's probably more press resistant and technically better than Hojbjerg, but there will be managers like Mourinho (and Poch to a degree) that will always prefer their 6's to be a bit more unit.
Like what I've seen of Bellingham so far (and for Dortmund) nothing spunktatsic so far but he's got a bit of vim about him, looks a nice combo of attributes. I'd seriously think about pushing him up to the seniors soon as they are severely lacking any midfield oomph.
Sessegnon's done OK, "assisted" the own goal and showed nice composure to set up the two offside goals and set Bellingham up to.
And as I type this Sessegnon plays a nice through ball for Justin (who I also like the look of, but I've not seen enough of him tonight) to win a pen (never a pen mind you).
The two CB's, Godfrey and Guehi look decent enough.
Max Aarons is the "neat & tidy" RB version of Skipp in a way.
Hudson-Odoi is not a bad attacking footballer, but I've never quite got the hype about him.
And as a kept typing Sessegnon sets up the winner with anther through ball, this time playing as the inverted right forward. I think he must have created every single chance England have made this game. I know he's never going to a Bale or even close, but it is a pity he never got a small run of 3-4 games in these types of positions for us, he's not as busy as fucking Moura, but he's got a fuck ton more composure and vision to his game.
Surely that's a foul on Skipp in the build up to their goal (but again this might be an example of his lack of physicality?), Guehi didn't defend it too well either.
He converted to it a few years back. One of the best in his position. Extended his career by quite a bit I imagine.
I thought sessegnon looked good popping up on the right. I wish we’d give him a go as an inverted winger on the right. Maybe hoffenheim will.
Dier withdrawn from the "game" tonight and Winks left out of the squad. Unfortunately Kane and Hojberg have to play.
Looks like Ben Davies is playing as a wing back this evening.
Davies is on the left of a back 3 and he looks very comfortable there. Probably his best position.
Why was Dier withdrawn?
"Tight hamstring" ... Jose had probably been on the phone.
If maguire was still on , he’d have tucked Sisto effort away , no worries
