It's definitely is that good, but just look how poorly Walker has been playing, how uninvolved Foden has been... Is Stones bringing the ball forward out for defence? Nope.
Kane does look like he's running through treacle mind, but even then he's a deadly goal scorer but we aren't creating any chances for him.
The most bizarre element for me is that he's got Walker playing as a right sided CB in a back 3 when we have the ball, and Trippier in line with Kane on the left wing. Obviously Trippier can't do anything but cut back and play it backwards or at best sideways, so why not have the wrong footed left back playing as the left CB in possession and have the right back pushed right up where they can cross the ball or go past their man?
It's why Saka's been so poor as he's experiencing the 'Harrison effect' of no overlapping full back and being doubled up on by the opposition.
It's bloody maddening because even without a left back we should be blowing teams like Slovakia away.
