The Wayne Rooney Show

Why does he back Ivan Toney’s inclusion so strongly? Does tournament football need goalscorers over flair? And is this the bold, no-sentiment squad England fans have always demanded… or a gamble that could blow up spectacularly?

And have Arsenal finally taken control from Man City?
