Best team won. .......ducks.
Wrong. The best manager won.
By a country mile.
Southgate's a decent guy....but I'm sick of this kind of defensive narrative.
You don't bring on youngsters to take penalties....well, you can do.....but why not bring them on the second half if you think they're worth even half their money.
We sat back, we sat back. we sat back.........bit like saying to the Italians "hey guys, we'll give you loads of time to figure your system out after going a goal down, not a problem".....
Same in 2018.
Roy Keane this evening:
"That best managers gamble"
Mancini 1
Southgate 0
Man of the match for me for England: Maguire, thought he was brilliant ......Pickford played superbly too.
