The top 2 in that list are not the best team in their own country never mind the whole of Europe 🤔. That says enough about the credibility of it.

What the hell was Michael Keane doing? Not done anything like that in an Everton shirt for a long time, bizarre.
Nice to see us put some goals away though, just caught the last few minutes of the half, Sterling looks electric, beautiful play to set up Sancho's 2nd.

Brilliant half from Sterling .
His movement has improved so much .
My only minor criticism is sometimes he holds the ball to long and ends up closing his angles down then plays a poor ball.
When he lets it go early he is unstoppable.
If he sorts that out I would say your valuation is about right.
Think we still need a gifted CM but can’t see we have one.
I was thinking these are quite good but the defending is shocking.
What’s the keeper doing for the own goal.

Sterling has been great and I am pleased to see it. My only moan would be seeing him do it against a big side rather than Bulgaria and Kosovo but confidence is a big factor

Maddison and Mount sat on the bench, both young talented central midfielders, both playing far better than Barkley this season and both should have started ahead of Barkley. I think we should have gone Maddison personally.

Agree but you can only beat the team in front of you and we have been ruthless.
But you can’t give him that much space to run into ,schoolboy defending.
Against better teams he dosnt get that space.

He does it in the Premier League every week against better sides than Bulgaria and Kosovo. He's been unreal that half, they can't touch him. Even if he was trying to score on the last one, haha.
I think Sancho should absolutely be starting ahead of Rashford as well. Looks a far better player.

Yes I think your correct .
Hopefully he will be on second half.
We will need these lads sooner than we think. They need to be playing as we don’t need a holding midfielder any more tonight.

To be fair I think Rashford played against a better defence Sunday.
But Sancho will take some moving if he carry’s on like this.
It’s a nice problem for GS.

I agree but having seen him struggle before I am not 100% certain he can do it against to INTERNATIONAL sides. He struggled for ages (7 goals in 45 appearances) but is on a rich vein but how does he go against a tight (park the bus) defence or a top nation

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
But if you read the bbc piece it actually quotes Jorghinho as being outta position in one game where City take advantage

Well this game sums us up really. Our attack would worry any nation on earth, but our midfield and central defence are piss poor in all honesty.

geez you post some rubbish at times Homie, hes doing it week in week out for both City and England, his form from prior years completely irrelevant surely, hes just not the same player. As for not breaking down top sides, well if he isnt able to do it for us, who do you want in his place? If we cant break down better sides it wont be his fault but for the static rubbish playing behind him in midfield

Sterling has been a quality player for a long time now - he was superb for us , moved and had a settling in period but then the last three years he has been outstanding for his club and despite not scoring much also for his country ,
The issue Sterling had was Southgate playing him as a second striker when it’s clear his best role was as part of a front three - the front three England have now have the potential to be lethal with decent back up.
A number of people on here where very vocal in the negative about him because he didn’t score enough goals- riburnside was very vocal about him

Agreed. Sterling, Sancho and Kane is such an exciting front 3.

Barkley and Henderson just don't have enough quality at international level, Henderson reminds me of Scott Parker in a way
