The England problem remains. Have never produced deep lying midfielders who can take the ball from defenders and manage pressure and turn and make key passes. Mainoo is good and has potential but other countries churn out loads of players who can do it. Rice can’t do it at all and Bellingham tried to but his technique not reliable enough. He lost the ball a few times in very risky situations.

I feel English youth set up always deprioritises ball playing CMs. Rice is fantastic at what he does and has been brilliant for Arsenal this season but arteta knows his game isn’t taking the ball under pressure and making a forward pass. Ancelotti learnt early on Bellingham has some incredible attributes but running a game in CM isn’t one of them.

Secondly, England seriously need a GK that can pass.

When it went 1-1 England didn’t change up quickly enough. They either needed to try and go for the kill or sit very deep and get to ET. Instead didn’t stick or twist and kinda fell in the middle with acres between midfield with defence going deep but MF still pushing on.

Mainoo should've never been subbed off.
The correct substitution should've been Palmer for Foden
