Well, whatever happens tonight, surely time for Hendo to prolong his club playing career for us and call time on representing England
There is a lot said about Hendo, a lot of questioning of his ability, but for me, as it is something I constantly look at in all players and all teams, whilst he might not be considered or rated as world class, in terms of leading and orchestrating a top class pressing and counter pressing game, he's the best there is and in terms of consistency of accuracy and delivery of the balls over the top and switches he's the best there is.
He has more experience of major finals, semi final and quarter finals in top class European football than any other player in this England squad and if Southgate believes the likes of Phillips and Rice are better players and obviously plans to persist with that pairing long term, Hendo really needs to call time on his international career, stay at home, get extra training and rest and recovery to play at higher levels for us, rather than waste his time being disrespected and used as a bit part player behind players who aren't fit to lace his boots
