Every player played about 5 yards deeper in 2nd half. And can’t get over the pundits being happy with Kane get 1 or 2 touches in 1st half
We did the we scored early. Let’s defend a 1-0 lead crap that Southgate does. Against better teams we will lose these games.
And you could coach the team that the aim is to kick thr ball in the net as many times as possible in 90 minutes.... sadly that is a redundant tactic.
England's groups under this manager have been the kindest I can ever remember. I don't see why going into the latter rounds is a big achievement. It's how the side plays for me.
Yeah .. this is the thing people like Shearer keep conveniently ignoring. I would prefer to hear the focus on how good the side is at playing football than to keep hearing them yapping about reaching a semi and a final. They aren't very good are they ?
"Easier" is all relative though, ie the England team was proper dogshit in that tournament. As ever the media thought we had a chance of winning though, and we get buttfucked by Germany.
Couldn't beat USA or Algeria and only scraped through the group with a win Vs Slovenia in the last game. Then got slaughtered by Germany. Difficult to call it anything other than dogshit really. 2014 England WC team was probably worse, although they did have a much harder group.
