Sean, I thought the team was alright in the first half, we just lacked a midfield. It’s not Trent’s fault, he is not a midfielder but Southgate insists on playing him. Second half everyone was awful.
Yeah, Kane initially at fault but a decent midfield would have closed the shot down as well.
Soon as we go one up we sit back. It’s the same old same old. I think he played the same team as they got criticised and he wanted to prove a point. He needs to do something different in the final game but he can’t go for Mainoo as Gallagher has been picked over him twice now. Gallagher has lots of energy but not the same technique. Cannot take the ball on the half turn etc.
We went with no fit left back, we decided not to pick a CM in midfield. We then have no overlapping left fullback and a left winger who isn’t really a winger but likes to link play and play others in. No one is near him. Mainoo in midfield would allow more of those little one twos and neat interplay.
I think we will go through, but we really need to get going soon or it will be an early flight home.
