I think far too much is made of "We need a player who can open up a defence" which naturally leads to the furious calls for Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley
This is the country that had Beckham, J Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes etc and still didn't know what to do with them!
A huge Gary Strodder punt up field could open a defence for Kane or Vardy let alone a Pavel Nedved splitting pass, it`s not a tactic I like and even when we had a Manager who truly under stood about playing that way we let the press turn everyone against him
Vardy and Kane can feed easily on scraps and win games, Vardy and Rashford scare the life of of defences , for me there is plenty of talent and culture to thread a pass, run at defences, knock a long ball, hit a cross whatever, I dont however see a lot of steel to win the ball back as we have a great habit of not being able to pass 5 yards at major tournaments
