England team vs Croatia includes Eric Dier and Fabian Delph… and livid fans are outraged
The Three Lions must beat the World Cup runners-up to qualify for the Uefa Nations League finals next summer
ENGLAND have started Eric Dier and Fabian Delph in midfield for the crucial clash against Croatia - with supporters livid at their inclusion.
Fans argued that Dele Alli, Jesse Lingard or even Harry Winks should have been selected ahead of the duo for the Wembley encounter.
The Three Lions have to beat the World Cup runners-up in order to qualify for the Uefa Nations League finals next summer.
While defeat against Zlatko Dalic's men would see England relegated to Group B.
Dier and Delph will now be tasked with winning the midfield battle against Real Madrid maestro Luka Modric and Inter Milan linchpin Marcelo Brozovic.
And supporters aren't confident the duo are up to the task, with one tweeting: "Why is Dier and Delph playing this isn't a friendly."
While another said: "Lingard Dele Winks over Delph and Dier any day."
Another commented: "Delph and Dier should be nowhere near that team."
One simply stated: "Delph and Dier against Modric and Brozovic.. Draw the curtains."
Spain currently sit top of Group A4 - two points clear of both England and Croatia.
