Baird of the land Posted 11 July, 2021 Share Posted 11 July, 2021 Bizarre decision to put the kid Saka up fifth. Where were the more senior players. the two subs.

CB Fry Posted 11 July, 2021 Share Posted 11 July, 2021 Southgate did what Venables did not do 25 years ago (he needed to bring on Fowler and Sir Les Ferdinand for those pens) but tonight proved that maybe that idea is a shit one after all. But the pens were shit man. Absolutely terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 11 July, 2021 Share Posted 11 July, 2021 What's so gutting is that, despite being arguably the better team, Italy needed a fluke rebound off the post to score their equaliser. Can't believe that none of the more experienced players stepped up to take that last pen and let the teenager take it. Spineless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 11 July, 2021 Share Posted 11 July, 2021 If you bring on 2 players to take pens then they’re going to be stewing about it for too long. Questioning themselves, feeling the pressure. It needs to be more about who’s feeling confident to pick a spot and hit it. Great saves can happen but all 3 were nervous penalties. Shaw should have taken one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
