Yes, there are, for sure.
But I think they come from us actually really trying to be attacking for once.
I was expecting this.
Honestly, I had this down as a one-all draw today.
I thought it'd be a little bit drab, a little bit nervy, us just waiting to hope somebody does something magical, Harry Kane moment or something.
But in fairness to the boys, we could have won that 8-2.
I was not disappointed.
I thought, and you know what?
I think we've got a little bit of a clunder in our hands, right?
Because we started the game with Madaweki and Gordon, okay?
And when Saka and Rashford comes on,
My gosh, do we look like we're an absolute problem, don't we?
However, this is the conundrum, because if we started with Saka and Rashford, when Croatia are fit, the opposition are fit, they're not at their most lethal.
You bring them on with 10, 15 minutes to go, when the opposition are tired, oh my God, it's like, boys, fill your boots.
I'm actually really happy with the position that we're in because we've got the next two games to really experiment with it because I don't know what the best option is because I like the fact that Madaweke and Gordon are animals and they're fit as a fiddle.
They might not have the end product that Rashford and Saka have got, but they are, I would say, what, fitter?
No, more willing.
More willing to do the run-in, right?
And tire the opposition out.
We have to.
