Former Chelsea winger Joe Cole additionally picked out Ziyech, whilst also suggesting two different substitutes, Christian Pulisic and Armando Broja are struggling with confidence.
‘There’s a series of players in this squad who are no longer in their nice confidence. Confidence is something you’ve got to construct up. Work challenging in training, do the right things, it will come back,’ said Cole.
‘Ziyech is one of them, Pulisic any other one not at their very fine form. Broja is a young lad who’s going to be nervous, it’s a big step up from Southampton.’
