I'd agree with that too, we should have played Tomori 100%, the media would have bought into it was because he plays over there, knows the league, ground, players etc and with it been the first game of the 2, GS would have been forgiven for not playing Maguire due to not playing for England. I don't think he fancies him for whatever reason, i have hardly seen him play, he must have something, but is he better or good enough, i couldnt say and the man in charge doesn't believe he is.
I think he should have played Toney for half an hour at some point, lads cards are high he's playing well scoring goals and he's gone away with England, not had a sniff, and now if i was him i'd think whats the point in going to a World Cup because im never getting ahead of Kane, and if we're behind or struggling he's more likely to switch the wide players than he is to add a 2nd striker and change the formation.
Fingers crossed Stones is back quickly.
I'd love White to have an amazing next few months and really push for a spot in that back 3, push Walker to the full back spot where he can really influence a game, for me he's the best RB/RWB in the world so to play him centre back is taking out yet another creative player who is also very good defensively.
Talksport hit the nail on the head today saying we are playing 3 at the back because our centre backs aren't very good so GS plays a 3, because 3 ok players are better than 2, and it just adds a bit more cover which ultimately shows GS hasn't got faith in playing them as a back 4, and that means we have to lose a creative/attacking player which is where we actually have some strength.
