Not idolizing these individuals.
You know, people talk about Becks and stuff, but the work rate he puts in, people...
Forget that.
Yes, you've got great individual players, but forget when they haven't got the ball and forget when they're not doing what they do, how hard they work for the team.
It's not just about his spirit.
It's about he has an opinion on how his team is going to play.
And if he doesn't find a place for a player like that, we can't argue with him as much as we may like them.
We can't say they should have gone because if he can't implement a strategy to suit them and incorporate them, and I think he recognises that with his back four, he needs the midfield three that we have, Declan Rice and, you know, Elliot Anderson rather than Bellingham.
So I have no issue with it at all.
I think he's there to protect the back four, and we don't expect him to, and him and Declan Wright are going to be asked by Tuchel to do that, Bellingham getting forward.
What helped us is the early goal in the second half, because I can tell you, after they equalised to all, if we had gone 15 minutes into the second half without scoring, I could see them, but that goal was so big for us.
That's what John Aldridge... The thing about today, you're supposed to... And it's a bit...
have you actually stopped or have you just slowed down?
You know what I mean?
I think because that is why goalkeepers come off the line.
Because you go and you start trying, he doesn't know.
And they're going to come down hard on goalkeepers for coming off the line a little bit.
I think they have to do something about that.
I think that first game because he's won and these games are so called easy as much as they're not you've got to play every game but I think Croatia was a big one so I think he can make some changes now I think the biggest one he might change is Rashford I was just going to say Gordon or Rashford Who would you free start with?
I think in the big games, to be honest, and what I always say about Marcus and, you know, obviously people have their own opinion, but I think I've always thought he does better for England than he does for his club.
