A former England international has written into the Mailbox to have his say on Gareth Southgate and England, and claims a BBC pundit would be ‘perfect’ to lead the Three Lions.He should have went after he himself let Italy off the hook at Wembley with the first piece of silverware since 1966 in touching distance.
But time stood still once more as Denmark slowly crept back into the match thanks to the early probing of Christian Erikson who showed England that, “Simplicity is genius! We are the only nation that have the best players on our bench throughout every tournament under this leadership. It’s fair for other nations to wonder at our discontent but you are not as blessed with players. And we truly are, which is the frustration. However I’d swap any of your managers for ours in a heartbeat.
Shearer’s comments also amuse me “There’s lots of goals in this England team” NOT if they carry on playing tippy-tappy in their own half there isn’t!!Take Saka… his biggest attribute is intelligence and decision making. Get him one on one with his fullback and he’ll make something happen almost every time, not through raw speed or a million stepovers but he’s so good at crafting a position to make a final pass/shot.
This is something I realised recently as well while watching Liverpool and seeing szoboslai continuously sitting in the same space on the right of midfield when he’s much better further forward. So the issues with the England team that we have been seeing for 8 years now are a problem of Southgate and his coaching team. Masked because of penalties , easy opponents and scrappy goals. England fans and media have largely overlooked these issues but they are the exact same issues and as a person with no love of international football maybe it’s a bit easier to see because I don’t have a pro England bias .
5. Play Saka on the left side of midfield. But remind him whenever his team are defending he also has to get back and do his bit.
