Why do we always sub like for like,
They've forgotten how to score goals. Some easy chances missed (again) by the same culprits.
How we didn’t score is beyond me
Sideways and back, sideways and back and repeat endlessly. Like watching paint dry ☹️.
Italy had some good chances and Sterling missed a sitter as per usual.
we have too many players that would rather take the safe route and pass it backwards or sideways, how many times did you see a player take someone on?. Grealish a few times, but then he would beat a player and then pass it backwards, or look to beat a player then just stop and pass it backwards (boring and pointless). One of the most frustrating examples was approaching 90mins, the ball is passed wide to James on halfway line, he looks like he is going to knock it passed his man and lead an attack, but no stops to and passes it backwards. Consequently and expletive shouted at the telly, and dog skulking away.
I think Southgate is the problem he doesn't seem to get the best out of the players we have if it's the personal or tactics/formation. We have players who play for the best 2 teams in the world in city and Liverpool and their mostly on the bench like Trent, Grealish and Foden who should be the first name on team sheet but he persists with other players who aren't as good like James, Mount, Saka and Sterling.
