England v Malta

[warney]

The side was mainly squad players. There’s no way Rashford, Gallagher, Henderson, Guehi, Tomori and even Trent start in a tournament game on current form.

Is there some rule I don't know about that we have to refer to him as "Trent" rather than "Alexander-Arnold"?! Most of the pundits seem to do it. Or are they just too lazy to bother saying his surname ...

I am certainly too lazy to type it out.

Why not TAA? After all we have KHH.

I thought he was called Alexander Arnold Trent.

I didn't think anyone had a bad game, but I did think that TAA's work rate was very low, in that he walked most of the second half. Phil Foden was the stand out player.

I was also impressed with Joseph Mbongo on Malta's right, similar in stature and style to Bali.
