Gary Lineker makes damning Trent Alexander-Arnold comment during England vs Germany

England legend Gary Lineker has hit out at Gareth Southgate 's hotly-debated decision to drop Trent Alexander-Arnold for the Three Lions' clash with Germany.

The Liverpool right-back watched from the bench as Harry Kane 's late penalty snatched a 1-1 draw in Munich. England were by far the inferior side, as the hosts squandered a wealth of opportunities to give themselves a comfortable win in Nations League group A3.

Southgate's men, on the other hand, struggled to ever get going at the Allianz Arena, with misplaced passes a theme of a weary display. And that prompted Lineker to voice his opinion during the game, taking to Twitter and writing: "England trail and continue to struggle to pass the ball to each other and create anything, while the best passer in English football remains on the bench. That would be Trent Alexander-Arnold if you weren't sure."
