SKD Posted 25 March, 2021 Share Posted 25 March, 2021 3 hours ago, TWar said: Not sure what you mean by this, he got his chance and got a red and a three game suspension. He is clearly talented but he squandered a chance big time. I'm sure he will get more. Regarding Stephens, maybe Ralph didn't want to throw Jankewitz in at the deep end given what happened at united so didn't pick him for what was expected to be a very tricky game against City. Just because Stephens played one game at cm doesn't mean jankewitz is definitely behind him. 3-0 up in a cup game with 5 subs, against championship team (who were poor), would have been the perfect time to bed him in again.

The way I look at it, is the ones Southgate took off are being rested as they're dead starters for at least the next game. Bit like Ings, he played the full 90 in the first England game then didn't play again for the remaining 2. I'd have seen it as a better sign if Prowse had come off, if that makes sense.

ChrisPY Posted 25 March, 2021 Share Posted 25 March, 2021 Think Prowsey is unique in this England squad. We’ve got some good defensive centre mids and some good attacking centre mids but no player that really offers the best of both. The team with 2 of Rice, Dier, Henderson or Phillips looks too defensive whereas only one of those normally leaves us looking exposed. JWP for me gives a bit of balance that’s needed and for me (totally biased) should always start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 100% agree with that angle but for me I was hoping he would stay on just so he can score another!
