I couldn’t help noticing how slow a pace the game started, with the back four at virtual walking pace passing the ball to and fro…..for me, after about ten minutes, I thought this does not bode well and sure enough it proved to be the case.
Listening to the experts before kick off I got the impression the plan was to knock it about and wear down the energetic USA midfield however that back fired
I reckon we should get rid of Southgate and maybe get in Capello, or maybe Roy Hodgson.
Southgate is the first England manager in the modern era to understand the formula needed to win in major tournaments. In fact we were only a penalty shootout away in the last one. The one previous we were extra time away from a final.
Both times we had a dud result in the group stage. Today was that dud for 2022.
Gareth deserves a bit more credit than he’s given. It could certainly be a lot worse.
