Who is England’s best number 6? | Joleon Lescott reviews the England Squad
Former coach of the England senior and U21 side, Joleon Lescott joins Rio and Joel to analyse the players that he worked with whilst at the FA. There’s a debate around who is the best English holding midfielder, praise for Djed Spence and memories of how Steven Gerrard would make team mates “crumble” during matches with a simple withering look.
Curtis Jones is a player that Lescott has admired since he worked with the midfielder at the U21s so the trio analyse what has made him step up a level this year for club and country. And there’s insight into the simple messages required from coaches who get the best out of maverick players like Cole Palmer.
And Lescott also details the thoughts and considerations for the coaching staff and Thomas Tuchel for picking the players that were named in the squad.
