The penalty was perfectly placed in the bottom right hand corner after sending the keeper the wrong way. Perhaps he will take them for us now.
From BBC. England's failings, both when they lost to Croatia in the 2018 World Cup semi-final in Moscow and to the Netherlands in the Nations League at the same stage, were an inability to manipulate possession (1), create from midfield (2) and dictate the terms and tempo of a game (3). Three areas in which James Maddison excels. Get him in there, Gareth https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49600138
Can't believe Mason Mount got the nod (again) ahead of Maddison Surely at 5 - 3, you'd feel comfortable giving a newbie 10 or 15 minutes?
Maddison isn't picked for the same reason that Wes Hoolahan was often not picked for the RoI, i.e. not because of what he does, but what he doesn't do. He's in the squad for Southgate to work with to see if he can adapt better to the role required of him in this England team. England have made progress under Southgate for the same reason that we are now in the EPL, i.e. settling on an effective style of play and playing it effectively. When Maddison proves to Southgate that he can fit in to that, he'll be selected.
