I've only seen 2 or 3 English centre halves that are worthy of shouting about in an England shirt.
In my lifetime, I've seen Rio, Sol and Ledley that I've raved about after certain performances. I've seen an entire country go on about Adams and Terry, even though I've watched the pair of them with my own eyes. Great club men, but bang average international centre halves. I even sat at Wembley and listened when our very own Dawson pulled on the shirt. Embarrassingly bad, along with Upson, Lescott, Carragher etc. Perhaps a soft spot for Jagielka and Southgate who had the brain, but not the rest. They saved us a few times by switching on at the right time.
Of the current lot, the only 2 that I've watched live and felt some encouragement is Stones and Gomez. I've not seen Ben White or Coady live, but seen enough of Mings and Maguire as an England fan to see that they are a massive weak link.
As for Dier, I hope people realise he's better than Dawson. Not that Dawson was ever good enough. Perhaps we should throw the armband at him for being a good egg like we did Michael !!!
