That depends a lot on the players in front of Stones and Maguire, it’s not their fault per se.
Maguire was really unlucky with his first “sloppy” pass. It was a first time pass that had it not got cut out would’ve had us clear down the left. I forgive him that one. But it was a bit of a momentum shifter, and the second one with Senegal on top was lazy.
Knocking it around on the half way line, waiting for the opening is ok by me. It’s when we are doing it in our own third, because we can’t “get out” where we have to be smarter. Trying to force it into midfield, or into Kane and getting it cut out is what will leads to chances being given away - and France more capable of punishing us. Commentators were right v Senegal that sometimes you gave to tweak your approach, e.g. a couple of balls in behind the FBs, turn them around, get up the pitch and squeeze them in…and build from there.
