They have a... I don't know, Pickford's pretty good with his feet, but Rai is probably the best in the world at organising his defence and...
The confidence it gives them.
And secondly, I think there's different ways to defend.
So I don't think you're wrong in what you're saying.
No, they don't sit.
They don't sit literally in the six-yard box.
They keep you on the edge of the final third.
They keep it out.
They're going to keep you X amount.
So whereas England, I think if you take a screenshot of either of the goals or even average position, I'd love to see the average position of the England players once they went 1-0 up.
because I'm convinced if you looked at it the England defence would probably level with the penalty spot as an average position whereas your Arsenal defence would probably be on the edge of the deal on the outside of the area and that's out of possession when they'd have the ball they were better at keeping it and when they added they'd look after it a bit longer and they would also go 10 yards more then and then you'd have to force them back again
How many late winners did Arsenal get even though when they were saying, right, this is 1-0?
Yeah.
And did they snatch one because they had that threat we were talking about up there?
England just looked gassed and they looked meek.
And you joke about, sorry Craig, you joked about the three lines thing being a bit of a joke.
This is what I think the problem is.
It was a bit of a joke until it wasn't.
Like, so they come through the whole Mexico thing and even the commentary around it was like, oh, it's going to be really tough and England do really well.
And they get through, and it's at the point, again, I'm going back to Wembley 2012, it's at the point when they've got it in their own hands, one step away from the final, and all their insecurities creep back in.
