And even the goal that Jed Spence makes the mistake on at the back post, Madweki's like 15, 20 yards further up the pitch maybe than he should be.

If he just narrows round, he gets tight.

He had to come across.

If that's me at right-back, there's no way around it.

It's a tough one for him because I think he's blocked in terms of vision because I don't think he can see because of four players in front of him.

Half and half, you still have to come with him.

I think what he's done, he's got a guy there...

I think he's gone in late, and when he's gone in late, the guy's blocking his view for the ball, and I think what's happened then is he's a bit like that, so he can't see it come round.

It's a tough one, but you do have to class it as a mistake as a right-back.

Look, you can't not do it.

It's a little bit like Jordan Pickford.

It's a tough one, but it is a mistake that that's gone in there, you know what I mean?

Roy, there's two ways that you can stop that goal, right?

I reckon in the biggest games that we would have played, if I'd have come in there and made that mistake, I think Bex would have been close enough to get back in there and affect that shot.

So Nani should be a little bit narrower and tighter and attach himself to his full-back and to his central midfield player.

And then you've got Marcus on that side, who again, he's not going to narrow himself and tighten himself.

So my view is that if you've got a back four that are just not a unit and they're going to get pulled apart a little bit.

And then you're like you're saying, Madueke is not linked to the team.

It slowed the ball down even more for him.

Do you remember what Gareth did in the last tournament?
