The issue is who plays besides him, dier is a similar issue in a back 4, white quit half way thru the tournament. We used to be spoiled for choice, for a time we had 4 legitimately world class centerbacks in Rio, terry, king, and campbell. Now I'd kill for 1

Not taking Tomori was pretty odd, maybe he can be one of those guys in the next cycle. But yeah as much as England look great in midfield and attacking, they have a clear issue for the next couple years that needs solving.
