The decision to show Maguire a red card was clear as day, and Vydra has revealed Burnley discussed the defender’s key weakness before last Saturday’s clash. And, with Vydra due to come up against Maguire again when the Czech Republic visit Wembley, he claims England’s backline does not match up with the quality of the Three Lions’ attack.Vydra said: “[Harry] Kane is top, [Marcus] Rashford as well, [Raheem] Sterling is in a great form. The attack is very strong.“Defence, I don’t say it’s not strong as well, but it’s not as strong as the attack.“For example, Maguire. We talked about him at Burnley before we played against Leicester.

“In some moments it seems he doesn’t know what’s happening behind him, that’s why he got a red card after five minutes in the match against Burnley.”Vydra also made it clear he and his international team-mates will not be afraid to ‘kick’ the England players when they come up against Gareth Southgate’s side.“They would surely like to hold the ball and play a possession game,” Vydra added, “so we have to be close to them.“Don’t be afraid to kick them three or four times – then they may change the plan and play just one or two touches.”
