Blackburn Rovers academy chief Phil Cannon is confident Phil Jones will eventually play for England.
Cannon has echoed Sam Allardyce’s sentiments that Jones will one day play for England’s first team as he calls for the national side to look more of a balance in the future.
“You don’t have many young defenders coming through in the country who can defend like Phil Jones,” he told the Lancashire Telegraph. “He is the sort who would die for the cause and you need that sort of player as well as someone who can sit behind and sweep things up. Maybe we as a country forget about the blend sometimes.
“That is what we don’t do well at national level. You have to have those water carrier players, those warriors that teams from abroad have.
“Some of the comments I have heard have frustrated me. The moment we went out I knew we would get the blame. We are an easy target aren’t we.”
Herlig å høre!
