Today, DeBrune and Hazard showed that there is no substitute for class. See counter attacks abeg!
England have play makers, they decided to leave them at home for some reason.
Barkley-maybe because of lack of games.
Wilshere
Lallana
Ox
Lallana was injured while Wiltshire and Barkley were considered match rusty. Maybe Oxley-Chambelain could have made a difference. I for one fail to see the hype about Loftis-Cheek. He is not a creative playmaker in my book.

To be fair, England took a step forward from the usual kick-and-rush. They have learned to pass the ball, but they still have a long way to go.
Midfield control/creativity is still nowhere. Still completely reliant on set-pieces. Still unable to create chances from open play.
That is something for them to work on. Either they discover a style of play which allows them to overcome this or they work on getting talent to do such. I see Nigeria suffering a similar lack once Mikel retires.
