This inferior mentality and sinking back into old patterns is England’s biggest issue and has been for 10 years at major tournaments, both tactically and individually. Italy after Shaw goal, Spain second half, Croatia in ‘18 after Trippier, last night after Gordon’s goal. It was even mentioned by Tuchel after Croatia that he was worried about falling into old patterns and the most annoying thing is that a core group of this squad have been through them all together. It doesn’t seem to matter how many big games or trophies these boys win at club level unfortunately. Properly gutted man. How Argentina defended their lead in comparison was a completely different game of football, high pressure, defensive iq in the block and playing on the sides. I’m so bitter today, most annoying thing is we had them for 55 minutes of the game, right where we wanted.
