My biggest concern about SouthGate’s choice of midfielders he’s to deploy today. Philips and Rice aren’t the best match for the Italian trio.
The Italian midfield is more experienced than the three Lions. Jorginhno’s ability to dictate the tempo of the game is something the English side doesn’t have.
This Italy side can do it all, combining the defensive savvy they are famed for, along with a willingness to take the ball, dominate the game and get forward.
I think Henderson needs to step in today to spice up the midfield.
