I'm not colour blind but having difficulty with looking at the shirts. I know the shorts are a good contrast but the light green of the Nigerian shirts isn't enough of a contrast for me.

To be honest, don't have a problem with that. Some great players of the 70s played like that (not saying Grealish is in their company of course).

But shin pads weren't compulsory then a la Dave Thomas.

Can you imagine the uproar if England fans booed a Nigerian player for not opting to play for England??

Missed the first 20/25 mins but since I started watching I thought our man was doing OK - good block (and bloke).

So far England look poor and Nigeria look even worst our new guy appears to like a stroll around plus a big hoof upfield all this won't wash in the premier league and he was walking towards Kane just as he scored when he should have been throwing himself towards Kane but on the bright side he's big brave and quick when he wants to be one for the future but on this brief showing not replacement for BFG or Goldson

The bloke's probably playing with a broken cheekbone!

No one is going to throw themselves around in a pre WC friendly

I dont think anything much can be assumed from a friendly. Most of all nobody wants to get injured. Personally I think our new guy has great potential and will take time to get up to speed. Certainly a rough diamond with a great attitude. Hes done far more right than wrong so far
