It's been mentioned by various sources on twitter, via Sky Sports as well, that he is starting alongside Stones tonight, with Konsa at RB.
GIven Independent don't have Konsa in either, sounds like they're just guessing.
I said in another thread, a lot of England fans seem to have weirdly short memories.
After the Scotland and Australia games a lot of England fans were saying Dunk should be taking Maguire's place as a regular starter. That all seemed to have been forgotten even before the Brazil game.
If Dunk...
Last 4 England friendlies;
Scotland (W 1-3) - Dunk 90 minutes (2nd highest ratings behind Bellingham)
Australia (W 1-0) - Dunk 90 minutes (and got MOTM, rightly)
Brazil (L 1-0) - Dunk on at 67 minutes (not the greatest, no worse than Maguire though arguably)
Belgium (?) - Dunk starts
I think...
Yeah I can't quite see why Leon Knight's voting is so low.
I know he doesn't tick every flair box, but the ones he does, he scores VERY VERY highly in.
Waste of talent and off field drama - he's possibly the best in the biz at these.
I think one element of flair CAN be that the person in...
I also think - while he looks good - people are getting way too ahead of themselves on Mainoo, based mostly on the fact they feel there's a clear gap alongside Rice and behind Bellingham. I actually think Gallagher can do that water carrying job ok, with the potential to choose TAA instead...
Sadly I do think it's all happened too late for Dunk.
If he'd been given a proper go back around 2021 when Maguire troubles began, I think he'd be in place alongside Stones now, I really do.
Funny how short England fans memories have been re: Dunk - after the Australia (man of the match) and Scotland (second behind Bellingham) games it felt like the majority of England fans were saying he should potentially start?! Yet even before the Brazil game he seems to have completely dropped...
