England strolled to a 4-0 victory against Bulgaria in a one-sided game at Wembley on Saturday.
There was a debut for Mason Mount, who came on as a substitute and played in midfield alongside his Chelsea team-mate Ross Barkley.
Many fans on Twitter were critical of Barkley’s performance, with some suggesting that Mount or Leicester City’s James Maddison should have started the game instead.
Barkley is the one player who only shows how good he is during pre-season. During the season he's about as average as they get. Absolutely zero creativity. #ENGBUL #EURO2020

Praying mount stays away from barkley, in training his pressing is pathetic with zero aggression

England will not win a major trophy with Barkley as a CAM. Maddison deserves that spot, mount on the bench, Barkley isn’t England quality
