UEFA Nations League: 5 things we learnt from Croatia vs England

#2 England have depth and Southgate needs to trust it

Croatia v England - UEFA Nations League A

Ben Chilwell looked very assured at left back and you wouldn't have guessed that it was his debut. Barkley made his first start under the Southgate reign and held his own against Modric, Rakitic and Kovacic.

Jadon Sancho was another player to make his debut and did well in his 10-minute cameo. The change for Sterling was inevitable and many would argue that it should have come sooner. Sterling's poor England form has flown under the radar and he has only managed two goals from 45 appearances.

It was a frustrating night for the Man City winger and his night was cut short not long after he received a yellow card for kicking the ball away. England had other exciting players on the bench including Maddison and Mount. In a 0-0 game with few chances, it would have been great to see one of these two come on.
