Is he playing him to see what he'd be like as cover or thinking of replacing Johnson for the big games due to the fact he can't defend? Surely Jones would be the better option there though since Milner has no experience.
He's not a right back and it shows. I do like the look of the midfield. A bit naive but bags of skill and a complete lack of fear.
It's menkal. Jones and Smalling are gash and if we are scratting around for RBs then it's just cuckoo. I'd keep Stones and Flanagan and let 2 of the above or Johnson go home.
The Ox and Barkley should start. Direct, pace, skill, talent, enthusiasm. What's not to like. Miles better than that rubbish display at Wembley.
I think he see's himself as a CM but has spent most of his time on the wing. He's ended up playing for England there too and it's baffling as he's dead ordinary. Works really hard but I'm not sure that's what from a winger.
Jones is a better all round utility player than Milner. It's good to have one of that type in the squad, but no need for two. How Appalling Smalling gets in ahead of Stones is beyond me.
Right back is a real concern now, Milner clearly can't play there, Johnson is terrible. Maybe stones deserves a chance?
