It's a very new sensation for me.

I've never been sat in a sofa and just thinking, I want to see Ivan Tony right now.

That's never really anything I've felt before.

But if you're bringing the guy, surely this is the exact scenario.

Well, this and a penalty shootout that you really want him for.

Because, yes...

it was clear that they weren't able to pick their way through that defense, and it's really, really difficult.

So I guess plan B, get someone who's a really good header on the ball and a difficult customer to deal with in the box and fling some crosses in at them.

And this is... I'm loathe to do, like you said earlier, talk about people who aren't here because that's a little bit pointless.

But I am just surprised that in the run-up to this tournament...

that there never seemed to be a real case of looking at Adam Morton for this, like a slightly different type of passer in that midfield.

Elliot Anderson's a brilliant footballer.

Declan Rice is a brilliant footballer.

But they are kind of all-action, box-to-box guys who like it when the games are open and there's a lot of running happening.

But this lack of a more of a cultured midfield pass guy, this goes back decades for England now.

We've been talking about this for as long as I've been on the pod, I think, and before that as well.

So this is just a permanent fixture, I think, which is why maybe just kind of embrace the fact that you don't really have that and instead like inject big man and go into hoof mode.

I completely agree with Barry.

I was really impressed by Panama over both games, really.

They've been better than I was expecting, and I think they're very unfortunate.
