Gordon's ball carrying ability would have been an outlet and Foden might have got more involved as the link to Kane. Definitely agree with that. It's this on game management Southgate really struggles with. Just watches on as the momentum moves to the opposition

Just watches on as the momentum moves to the opposition 100% when it comes to fine detail & in game management I expect Southgate to come second best.. like he did last night after a decent first 30 minutes the game changed completely and he had no answer.

June 17, 20242 yr 14 minutes ago, Cheese said: Maybe he'd have made different changes against better opposition? 🤷♂️ So last night, having lost the initiative at 1-0, he brought on less worthy substitutes because the opposition wasn't all that ?????

June 17, 20242 yr Definitely need someone who actually knows how to play midfield alongside Rice. Mainoo is quality on the ball and is dead calm but hasn't quite got the legs getting back and can get overran. Think Southgate see's him further up the field as a alternative. Gallagher has the legs but can be a headless chicken at times. How good is this Wharton lad don't think I've seen him play?

June 17, 20242 yr 28 minutes ago, Cheese said: Maybe he'd have made different changes against better opposition? 🤷♂️ THIS is what you were suggesting. 100% bizarre.
June 17, 20242 yr Just now, Dr. Feelgood said: THIS is what you were suggesting. 100% bizarre. That's not a suggestion, it's a rhetorical question. Maybe he wouldn't? 🤷♂️ Anyway, we won.
June 17, 20242 yr 17 minutes ago, Cheese said: We won. Wish Evatt had made the same awful mistakes a month ago. So you think that because we won it's carry on regardless You can learn things from achieving a goal and still think things could have been done better Edited June 17, 20242 yr by DirtySanchez
June 17, 20242 yr Think people are just concerned we and he showed similar traits last night that have let us down in past. On a brighter note Rice was outstanding and so was Bowen when he came on.
