Gary Neville is yet to be convinced by ESP's attack despite them scoring seven goals in first FIFAWorldCup game
The Red Fury left front man Alvaro Morata out of their starting XI, with Luis Enrique bringing Marco Asensio in up top as a false nine instead.
And when asked what he thought of the Spaniard’s line-up before kick-off, Neville was unsure the 2010 World Cup champions would be able to find the net.“It’s okay but there’s no goals in it,” the ex-England star said on ITV’s coverage before the game began. “I think that’s been one of Spain’s problems. In the last European Championships they dominated possession and had the highest in the competition on 76 per cent, it’s what we expect.
“The legacy of Pep Guardiola at Barcelona still runs through this team. But you wonder, is that ruthlessness is going to come through?”, disproving Neville’s claim they’d struggle to score.
