England lacking in centre midfield but look good everywhere else

 

Whaaaaat?!

 

Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Ward Prowse and Will Hughes are good players man!

 

Ward-Prowse is good. Will Hughes isn't a centre midfielder is he? More attacking I thought? Don't watch the Championship so don't know much about the other two. The rest of the positions they have good premier league players so I would say central midfield is weak compared to the rest of the team

Chalobah and Loftus Cheek are so talented. Both more holding types though, so I assume either Ward Prowse or Will Hughes would then play off the front man, if they choose to line up that way?

 

Really like the midfield tbh.

Loftus Cheek has only played a few times for Chelsea, how could you possibly have seen him play that much?

 

I've seen him a couple of times for Chelsea towards the end of last season. Looked so classy man. Wasn't insinuating I had seen him loads. All I said was that he was talented.

Fair enough, still don't think it's a great midfield though

You may very well be right.

 

I guess I'm just excited by their potential, and pre-supposing that at the under 21 level they should be able to stand out.

Our midfield isn't as bad as I first thought. Will Hughes has plenty of experience even at 20. Ward Prowse is a beast any time I see him for England youth and decent for Southampton. He also has a great set piece on him. Nathan Redmond just had a great season for Norwich. I've been seeing his name linked with a few decent clubs. Its comforting knowing that Kane has 8 in 11 and Berahino has 10 in 11. We could realistically win this competition.

 

 

I'm getting my hopes up, guys.  :(

That clip of the goal against Germany man ... wow.

 

Love how confident the centre backs were in their passing, and stepping into space to create lanes to get it forward to the midfielders. Outstanding.
