It's not a bet I would have done with Irans defensive record.
 
I cant tell you what he should have done, but I can tell you what I think he did wrong, he should have left Kane on and took Sterling off, he should have replaced a right back with a right back. He should have played Dier not Delph, he should have played Rashford and not Vardy, this would have given us a much more solid look as none of his subs worked imo, Rose and Delph led the way in loosing possession under no real pressure at all other than the fact that they always try to play high tempo, when under the circumstances we needed to close the game down and retain the football. Henderson (the captain after Kane was taken off) led by example in this respect so may have been following Southgate's instructions, but taking free kicks quickly when you are five goals ahead come on, surely not. Could you really see Big Sam condoning this at club level, not the one I know. No other serious team in this competition would have played this way of that I am certain. We played like we were losing not cruising at times. There are at least 8 teams left in this competition who will tear us apart on that second half showing.
So he should’ve made 4 subs... nice but think that’s against the rules!

There are plenty of teams who may have beaten us in the second half. But we were winning 5-0. Why is tat a bad thing.

Big Sam was right behind it this morning. Had no problem with it at all. That’s from Allardyce himself so, to use your rhetoric, you’re wrong again!

Kane was rightly subbed. Hat trick and a massive lead. We didn’t need to. Lose the game down. We had a 6-0 lead against a team who had never scored at the World Cup and were pretty poor up front. Created nothing except a free kick. Proven completely by the rapturous celebration when they scored a nothing goal. SAN said himself... if we were winning 1-0 it’d have been totally different and the game slowed right down. The players would’ve known that too
