It might just catch on” – Tom Atkins.“Bellingham yes (hell yes, of course yes). Gallagher, Chilwell no. In midfield, Madison is surely a far better choice than Gallagher (or the injured Alexander-Arnold). At left back (there are injuries of course) Trippier is better, and I’d love to have a look at Livramento there (yes, he is left-footed – but he’s played a lot at right back – and Walker is undroppable at the moment). Harry looks a bit vulnerable – Colwill or Branthwaite?” – Francis Mead.“At times, England have looked like Brazil in disguise (John Stones’ surge and dribbling before being fouled, quelle surprise, by Paquetà). But Brazil have the capacity to scythe the England defence apart with Vinicius, Rodrygo and the unfathomable Paquetà. Been impressed by the debut of Gordon who has shown pace and skill but distinctly underwhelmed by Chilwell who looks out of his depth and has lost all coordination with his left foot.
