You heard it and I heard it. We all heard it. 'We know that we don't have a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips,' Gareth Southgate grumbled after the dismal 1-1 draw against Denmark. What? It sounded ridiculous, but Southgate's point is this: England are missing a midfielder who can read the game, break up play and pick the killer pass. That much has been obvious. They aren't missing the Phillips who has spent the last two years lost in the Manchester City wilderness but the 'Yorkshire Pirlo' who bossed the last Euros in 2021.
