Fast forward to Friday night, though, and Greenwood was watching from the bench as England suffered a damaging defeat to France at St James' Park. In the build-up to the 2022 European Championships, Greenwood had been partnering Bright while Williamson played in midfield. I love watching football. I love watching the game back and I enjoy watching the opposition and seeing where their weaknesses are. With England desperately needing a victory to revive their faltering qualifying campaign, leaving the City defender on the bench could prove a very costly error.
