Eh? Ward-Prowse isn’t the type to receive the ball in tight spaces but still keep things ticking over.
Trent definitely isn’t. If he’s going to develop into a midfielder he’ll end up a the type to zip passes forward from deep. That’s no guarantee though. It’s totally different drifting in-field and coming onto the ball then zipping one forward than it is receiving it on the back-foot half-turn and doing it.
 

Think it’s lost with how revolutionary they were at the time, but that Spain team was pretty attritional. 
They would pass you to death without really carving you open. Their last four games in 2010 were 1-0.
In a funny sort of a parallel, Del Bosque favoured two sitters in Alonso and Busquets, Xavi was pushed up to #10 and Iniesta was punted left wing. One of Torres or Villa would miss out, sometimes even both in favour of Fabregas as a false 9.
If memory serves me right, Euro 2008 was even David Silva wide-left, Marcos Senna, Xavi and Xabi Alonso as a three and Iniesta wide-right.
 
International football’s pretty much whoever can keep the ball best - with your odd attritional Greece thrown in.

You’re joking (I think), but he and Winks are the two best we have for the role, which is a bit of an indictment.

Reading, 2010

Hope it’s not like the 2021 T20s, when it was bowl first and win.

Died about 7 hours before they were promoted as well. I think his dad died a month later as well. Horrible all round.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about Bloomers. 
Shrewsbury wore T-shirts with his, and another supporters’ name on, when they celebrated that promotion.
Fantastic broadcaster, wonderful bloke. I miss him.

Funny you mention charisma though… I bet Sven’s better thought of than Southgate despite having a better squad and not even making a semi (Ulrika aside)
