I actually want to watch their next game.
I shall cry if Henderson and Cahill play though. Southgate simply must continue down this path.
I'm not so keen to criticise Cahill - but it's clear we have better options at the centre back position now (Gomez was superb last night).
But Henderson shouldn't be allowed on the pitch again in an England shirt - sadly I think Livermore played both games in full just to keep the place warm for 'the captain' when he returns from Injury. I sincerely hope not (and there has to be a better option than both Livermore and Henderson) but I fear the worst.
Overall a solid performance against Brazil - we seemed to lose some fluency after Loftus-Cheek's departure, but we contained well and occasionally looked good going forward. I thought Vardy was exposed a bit - there really isn't much to his game besides his speed- and Walker, as always, is utterly clueless positionally. Even as a wing back he still constantly gets caught drifting inwards and has simply not a clue of what to do when we don;t have the ball. I'm not sure Trippier (or Clyne) are better than him going forward, but I'm certain they're better going the other way.
