Ian Darke

You look at that squad.

I mean, you're saying there's not good players.

Pulisic,

was a big money buy and was playing for Chelsea earlier this season.

He was on form for Milan.

Maybe he's starting to think of the World Cup.

Maybe that's why he's forms tailed off a little bit in Italy.

I think he'll be there on the day.

You've got Weston McKinney is good.

The event has people like Balogun and where Tyler Adams has been unfit.

He'll make a difference in midfield.

And that's another area they need to improve the shield in front of the defense.

You know, that's another thing to think about.

But, you know, I wouldn't be giving up on the team.

It doesn't look good, but this isn't the time to judge.

Well, you need a very vivid imagination having watched the two games at Wembley in the last few days to see England among the favourites because in plain language, they've stunk the place out twice running, drawing with Uruguay and then losing, deservedly losing, to Japan.

And I think quite a few players, or a few of them anyway, I think have played their way off the aeroplane to the United States.

There's a lot of thinking he's got to do.

OK, I think you've got to build into it that this was an England without...

four quite key players no Harry Kane no Bukayo Saka no Jude Bellingham and no Declan Rice so that is that is a rider to everything that we're observing but you know looking at that team look at left back there Nico O'Reilly who I think was in pole position to start at left back well he's been exposed frankly I mean he was out of position three or four times
