Southgate lost that game, tried not to lose, too defensive.
He even brought Henderson on. How bonkers is that. You have to win games, you cant win games without handing out the killer blow.
Grealish, Sancho, he had it in his hands.
A man would have made those changes earlier, and left Henderson on the bench.
It seems to me that Southgate has no faith in his own team, that he personally doesnt feel worthy or capable of winning, and that he thinks the team is over performing.
Italy played three men up front, they dont have feelings like that, while Kane struggled away up front. Southgate was wrong, England should have won that.
If you are in a Gadiator fight in the Colloseum, parrying blows is not going to kill your opponent. Three up front will. Clough or Venables would not have left Grealish and Sancho on the bench and brought the Donkey Henderson on.
Can you imagine Venables leaving Gascoigne on the bench.? Disastrous by Mr Southgate, passive, unimaginative, dull, unintelligent....
A loser.
