Former Leeds and Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock claims that England attacking midfielder Ross Barkley鈥檚 game has one major flaw鈥� he can鈥檛 defend.

Warnock believes that this could lead to England being punished against better teams, and admits that national manager Roy Hodgson has a problem: 鈥淭he fans will be wanting him (Barkley)鈥� but Roy鈥檚 a manager that goes into a game not wanting to lose鈥�.

The Everton player, who had a short loan spell at Leeds in 2013 when Warnock was manager there, has sparked comparisons with Paul Gascoigne following his recent performances for his country, scoring in the 3-0 win over Lithuania in their final Euro 2016 qualifying match.

Asked if Barkley could be coached to defend better, Warnock remarks 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think you can鈥�, but praised him by saying 鈥測ou can鈥檛 coach the positives he has either. You鈥檝e got to get him in an area where he can win us the game, because we haven鈥檛 got enough people like that.鈥�
