June 24Jun 24 It wasn't the result per se, but the lack of ideas or willingness to try something a bit different. Not necessarily the manager, but those on the pitch.I remember the manager clapping and clearly praising Madueke the first time he went on the outside, beat a man, and put a dangerous cross in. Not sure he did it again that half.Maybe Rice- Arensal team mate- could have had a word and said well done, don't be worried about mixing it up and going on the outside. Or similar!
June 24Jun 24 Don't agree with the pile-on on Madueke. He was the only one that looked like we might create something. Final ball wasn't great but Ghana had 10 players defending. Gordon was in his defender's pocket.

Last night was crying out for a Foden, Palmer type of player who will unlock defences instead he sets up with a back four and two defensive midfielders against a team who played two banks of five.Spence has pace but is never a footballer and i am still trying to work out how the most left footed footballer i have ever seen is playing right wing.Be home before the post

Leaving TAA, Hall, Foden, Bowen, Palmer, Warton and Gibbs-White out is inept. He also selected three players in Stones, James and Saka while excellent players are simply too injury prone. Take a risk on Saka but to include all three is crazy.
