#4 Mark Noble deserves an England call-up
Trending
The West Ham captain has been knocking at the doors of the England national team for some time now, albeit without any positive results. A hard-tackling midfielder who has a great understanding of the game and is not afraid to launch into tackles and put his body on the line, Noble is the kind of player England have lacked in major tournaments.
The Englishman put up another good performance in the middle of the park for the Hammers, denying the Chelsea men space and time on the ball and mopping up behind his attacking teammates when threatened by the Blues.
His distribution as always was good and he also played a key role in his side’s opening goal, putting in a low cross toward Kouyate to head home from a fair distance.
While N’golo Kante might be grabbing the limelight with his energetic displays, Noble has done enough to already deserve a mention amongst the best central midfielders in the country at the moment and the game against the Blues served us a reminder of how devastating he can be on the pitch, in attack as well as defence.
