It still seems a travesty, and a mystery known only to Thomas Tuchel, that Jordan Henderson was named in the last senior England squad and not Elliot Anderson.
Excellent article on a fine young player who if in keeps his head and keeps developing could have a big future in the game. How Henderson is in the squad instead of him or Jones is beyond me. He offers so much more. Does seem a good level headed lad. Newcastle and Eddie Howe hated having to sell him but that the wonderful thing PSR has done now to clubs and homegrown players. It’s a joke. Even though he is fine player and I am a fan I still don’t know what type of player he is. For me he is a fairly attacking box to box player who likes to get forward but can stick his foot in to and be aggressive and has. Nice passing range. I don’t see him as a natural holding player though. Playing in a two but being allowed to get forward would work to. But he also played on the left sometimes for Forest and cut in with his dribbling ability. He is a good passer I must say. A player with a big international future unless Tuchel seriously thinks Henderson is a better option. Hope he has a good game in the final. I know you’re a fan so well done highlighting his contribution to the team this tournament.
I make Germany slight favourites for a final but won’t be shocked if England win and retain the trophy. Would be a great achievement.
Anderson has been superb, a true multi-role midfield player, thanks Henry.
What has also literally leapt out of my screen at me is the aerial prowess of Creswell at the back and attacking corners. It’s like watching Dave Watson or Gordon McQueen rising above everyone to power in a header. I write this warily when there is overdue focus on head impact injuries but it remains such an exciting part of the game.

Germany definite slight favourites because of their attack and not just Waldemort. Would love to see Anderson alongside Rice. Enjoy the weekend
Worth a shout.

Great character too, Cresswell. Loves what he does. Loves England. Anderson becoming a bit of a Swiss Army knife. So many options
A worthy article Winter! Feckin’ PSR!
Thanks Alan. If I was an elite club going to sign one player from this 23, I’d sign him.
