Well let’s look on the bright side, at least England aren’t going to have to face Iceland in the Euros
Just rubbish. Southgate’s tactics have pretty much stayed the same the whole game. Playing into Iceland’s hands by playing through the middle into a tightly compacted defence
Defence is all over the place. That's why you need experienced players like Maguire. Any top nation attack will rip this back line to shreds.
As I said, pre tournament games are no barometer for success. But Southgate is, and always has been, a great ‘team’ manager coupled with an absolutely abject tactical one.
At the end of the day this game means **** all. Better to get the bad performance out of the way in a meaningless friendly where no player wants to get injured.
They play in different positions. Although I think Wharton offers a lot more than Maino, so does Trent.
I always see Gibbs White as a box to box midfielder. I like Trent, but he’s a full back. Feel he gets lost when he’s in midfield
