England v USA

[Sclox]

Remember the days when England possessed players who could beat a man with their feet one on one? Gazza, Beardsley. Thats whats needed.

IMO England were bossed tonight. Southgate did a Southgate.

Just that. He doesn't seem to have any idea about getting his teams to express them selves.

As ever Southgates test will be his game management in the latter stages. For me Foden should have been in from 60 minutes.

Normal service has resumed back to boring negative southgate play.

I was shouting for Foden (literally - I was in the pub 😁 ) at 60 minutes.

If these tactics were just for the group stage and he changed for the knock out, I wouldn’t mind.

Yes, but performances don't come out of their holes. Players need minutes early on in a tourny to slipstream into the knockout.

Just my opinion.

A win today would have gave dangerteeth a chance to bestow the minutes to the squad in the next one against the taffs.

What a pile of shyte that was, typical Southgate, looked like he was playing for the draw from the off.
