The plan seems clear for Rodri - look to retain one of the best players in world football rather than sell him. One of these will be the presence of Elliot Anderson, while Manchester City are monitoring 18-year-old Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, who impressed for Morocco in the World Cup. To understand how Rodri, Anderson and someone like Bouaddi might come together, it is key to understand Maresca's game model.
Elliot Anderson has said Manchester City's domination of club and European football made him join Enzo Maresca's side. The Tyneside-born midfielder began his football career at boyhood club Newcastle United, joining the Magpies at eight years old. The 23-year-old moved to Forest in July 2024 and then earned his England debut in September 2025.
Newcastle fans and former players are continuing to pay tribute to Kevin Keegan, who has died aged 75. "You hear the word 'legend' banded around all the time now - but Kevin Keegan's got to be put on a pedestal of legends." Lee Clark, who played under Keegan in the 90s said he was "very heartbroken" by the news.
⚽ World Cup final starts at 3pm EST, 8pm BST, 5am AEST⚽ Player guide | Golden Boot | Follow on TikTok | Mail usWatching England against France – though, of course, defensive intensity was lower – it was still noticeable how dangerous Saka and Marcus Rashford were on the counter. Had Tuchel sent them on against Argentina soon after England scored, Lionel Scaolini’s men would’ve had to respect it and might well have feared it, forced, at the very least, to leave defenders back to mark them, while their own team would’ve had out-balls and a serious threat, meaning when they cleared their lines, it wouldn’t have simply been to face yet another attack.It find it strange that, given his team struggled for control and also to break down tight defences, Tuchel didn’t give Mainoo a single second on the pitch – and seemed to have decided as much by the Panama game, when he brought on Henderson in preference. England desperately lacked midfield balance, control, poise and craft, a problem that eventually cost them – and is the main reason I’d have given them little chance of beating Spain had they made the final. Anderson and Rice are fine players, but given Bellingham is essential, I’d want only one, with the trio completed by a more technical and cerebral type – which needn’t be Mainoo, he was just the only one in the squad.

England’s coach said ball possession is not in the team’s DNA – it’s an opinion that should disqualify him from the jobHow we talked. On late-night news shows, disembodied heads above a rolling yellow banner. On planes and trains, at bus stops and flower shops and kids’ birthday parties, trying desperately to connect the ennui of the now with the vividness of the later, trying on some level to anticipate the feelings, the blood surge, the heart rush. At the sinks in the office toilets, jerthinktheylldoit, theyactuallymighty’know, shake-shake, and your devastating analysis of the Rice-Anderson-Mainoo triple pivot gets lost in the noise of the hand-dryer.Two years of this. Countless millions sunk on tickets, hotels, Ubers, shirts, pizzas, flags, the hours spent on Google Maps trying to locate somewhere to eat after 11pm in Riga, the endless psychodrama over Jude Bellingham and whether he should have been left at home or not (turns out, not). How we bled and sweated over this, over the minor details of the journey, over whether Danny Welbeck had done enough to earn a place in the squad or not (turns out, not). All pointing towards the moment on Wednesday evening when England are 1-0 up in a World Cup semi-final against Argentina and your entire happiness rests on whether a bunch of millionaire footballers and a millionaire German coach can keep their shit together for 40 minutes, or not.

BBC Sport understands Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who Nottingham Forest are set to make a £45m bid for, wants to move to the City Ground. The 20-year-old Sweden international played limited minutes at the end of last season under Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi, often not in his preferred number six position. Forest are believed to be looking for another midfielder in addition to Bergvall after Elliot Anderson's record-breaking move to Manchester City.
Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media for the first time since his appointment earlier this month. The Austrian was contacted by "many clubs across Europe" after leaving Crystal Palace, but he wanted to stay in the Premier League and feels there is "a new book to be written" at Nottingham Forest. The club appointing a Premier League record-breaking four permanent managers in just one season doesn't worry him because "the average time a manager gets is already below one year".
England face the biggest challenge of the 2026 World Cup, as they take on Argentina in the semifinal. Making the situation even more complicated, head coach Thomas Tuchel will not be able to count on Jarell Quansah for the second consecutive game. Despite having been full of criticism, England have remained one of the hardest teams to beat at the 2026 World Cup. Being solid in defense, they managed to reach the semifinals, where they will face Argentina. In a match full of history, the Three Lions will look to reach the final for the first time in many years. However, head coach Thomas Tuchel faces the difficult absence of Jarell Quansah, for the second consecutive game. Jarell Quansah is in full physical condition with England. However, he will be absent after receiving a straight red card in the match against Mexico, being suspended for two matches. Even though they tried to appeal, FIFA rejected it, upholding his suspension. If the Three Lions advance to the tournament final, he could return to the roster, having the chance to start or come off the bench. While Reece James returns to the roster from his injury, he could be a starter despite that he is reportedly not at full fitness. However, he will look to make an impact and regain his playing continuity. Therefore, Thomas Tuchel could once again be forced to readjust his lineup during the game, giving Ezri Konsa or John Stones a chance to play in the at right back. England lose a major attacking asset without Reece James in plein form or Jarell Quansah at right back. Therefore, Bukayo Saka or Noni Madueke need to take on a bigger role out wide, as they will be on their own to create space. In addition, Elliot Anderson or Jude Bellingham will be key in providing support and creating a possession triangle that allows them to break down Argentina’s defense. Nevertheless, the key remains Harry Kane. Jarell Quansah #26 of England reacts after receiving a red card by Referee Alireza Faghani. England’s key to beating Argentina lies in the midfield Argentina are one of the best national teams at the 2026 World Cup. Led by their midfield, they press high and dominate the attacking phase. With this in mind, England come into the match with a clear objective: To dominate the midfield in order to limit their opponent. If they manage to do so, they would shine with their play down the wings, taking advantage of the space in behind to look for goals. To secure the victory, Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson need to shine again, as they struggled quite a bit against Norway and were very limited. Not only do they need to return to their best form, but so does Harry Kane, who has a more creative role on the pitch. With them performing well, Jude Bellingham could shine again in front of goal, dominating possession and taking advantage of space or mistakes in the build-up play.
Provided they are both fit, the expectation is that Rodri and Elliot Anderson will lead the Manchester City midfield next season. On paper, their games do look to complement each other. Anderson is an...
