But I can see why most of the senior players on the pitch could easily have not been chosen by Southgate rather than refused to put themselves forward.

A mate is a Man City fan. First thing he did when we went to penalties was text me and say “really hope Sterling doesn’t take one.” I doubt Saka is either.

Silvio Dante Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Well… - First, balance of game, Italy deserved that. We scored probably too early and from 40 minutes invited pressure. We limped to full time and extra time, and without Chiesa being injured, we probably lose that earlier - Saka? I was expecting him to be one to be taken off when Sancho and Rashford were coming on. Notwithstanding that, I wonder if the plan was for him to be five. I almost think that when we went 2-1 up, we put on paper our best taker next. - I think the big lesson here is to be more positive. Southgates done a good job but he is inherently a cautious manager. And by being cautious, we probably lost (or didn’t win) today. - Bollocks.

downendcity Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Frustrating that we had a great start but then proceeded to concede the initiative ( has Southgate been reading Lee Johnson’s book on clever football tactics?) but equally frustrating that Pickford saved 2 Italy penalties but we still managed to lose the shoot out. Our missed penalties were with stop start run ups and trying to be clever. Kane and Maguire took no nonsense pens so perhaps that’s a lesson to learn going forward.

Italy dominated the second half and Southgate didn't have the balls to use our subs until it was too late. He totally blew that tactically. Southgate is in credit, he got us to a final afterall. But this evening he got most of the calls wrong. Too negative tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 We've lost a Cup Final on penalties, but this England team have done the country proud, with a young, talented team led superbly by Gareth Southgate.

Harry Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Lots of people saying Grealish should be taking one. Well, it looked to me when they were in the huddle that he wanted one. Perhaps as usual, Southgate didn’t trust him. Shaw is a set piece specialist. Perhaps he should’ve stepped up as well. How about the most senior player and ex captain, Henderson. He was quick enough to grab the ball for a penalty in the recent friendly, where was he tonight!! Looking at the huddle, I’d guess Southgate had Grealish & Shaw down as sudden death takers. Big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point of him waving his willy around taking a penalty he is likely to miss just to look confident. And why on Earth would Southgate let him? Edit: Grealish has taken (and scored) one penalty in youth football. Stones has never taken one at any sort of professional level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
