England v Spain: Hits and Flops

England v Spain - UEFA Nations League A
Spain came from behind to beat England on Saturday night

Hit: Sergio Ramos

England v Spain - UEFA Nations League A
Ramos captained Spain at Wembley

He may have been booed all night by the England fans at Wembley, but I have no doubt, he loved every minute of it. Ramos is a winner, and he is prepared to do so, by hook or by crook. He is now the senior member of this Spanish squad, and he looked like a leader all night. He defended well up against Harry Kane, and looked good in possession of the ball. There is no doubt that all of the fans who booed Ramos on Saturday would be absolutely delighted if he was in their side.

Miss: Dele Alli

At times, Alli looks a bit lost in this England side. He doesn’t really have a defined role in the team, and at times against Spain, he just seemed to vanish. Given that this England side does at times lack creativity, you would expect Alli to be the sort of player to bring that, and thrive, but he just didn’t look comfortable. He is going to have to prove himself on the international stage if he is to keep his spot in this England team.
