Farewell Eze?

[mileend]

Rogers played centrally. Eze is never going to do that. Wharton could replace Rogers with that type of play but not Eze.

Out wide there is a separate battle for squad places - and from the set up last night (which worked) these are players who go past the full back on the outside to cross in for Kane. He doesn't do that either

Wide players are Gordon vs Rashford and Madueke vs Bowen vs Saka

Jordan Henderson gets in for his personality as a cheerleader (which is weird as he's pretty horrible)

Maybe that's Eze's best chance, a lovely guy - or others bad luck with injury

Might be a similar story at the Arse. He needs to take his chances when he gets them as no longer a nailed on starter.

Eze literally played in that no 10 role for England on Sat.

Rogers proved he's better there last night, but in reality that spot is Bellingham's.

Whaton wont be replacing Rogers, the spot he'll be fighting for is Andersons.

I don’t want to be negative but Eze is not going to be half the player he was for us. It won’t be next year but the season after there will be word of him coming back.

If he doesn’t do something special he will end up as a bench player for Arses and possibly squeezing into the England World Cup squad. His best hope is that he builds a winning partnership with Rice for the Arses and that transfers to the England side. He won’t get the wide left sided berth ahead of Gordon or Rashford unless the coach abandons going wide at some point and opts for his wide men coming inside. He won’t get the 10 ahead of Bellingham or Rogers. He might be third in line if they get injured or suspended.
At Arses he won’t displace Odegaard . Can he sit deeper alongside Rice? I’m not so sure.

The way it is set up is you are supposed to lay it on a plate for Kane, that's what he is there for, it's been his role throughout his career - a goal hanger who sticks it in the net, which his scoring record attests.
