Striker
He was also played on the left and had to use his shit foot..... Which it turns out is really shit.
However, no other England player tonight could have got down the wing on numerous occasions and got into the positions he did time and time again. Do you think Milner, Llanana etc are capable of getting the ball near the halfway line, running 40 yards before getting into their box or gaining a corner?
Townsend should have been playing left mid. Sterling on the right and a proper left footer on the left would have seen us out score them before half time.
All this. ..... Sterling got made to look daft because he was played out of position. Llanana would have looked worse and offered less going forward if they'd swapped sides.
No he didn't, he done it all by himself. Couldn't trap a ball 6 yards out from goal coming down to him. Had a simple 6 yard pass to make to put Kane through early on. Constantly took the wrong option.
Llanana would have done all those things. He might not have Sterlings pace and able to run 40 yards and do fuck all, but he can trap a ball, see and complete a 6 yard pass and choose the right option more often than not.
