I mean, you could arguably say they should have had a penalty towards the end of the game, which would have been the perfect game plan with Esri Konza making that foul or committing a potential penalty.

Yeah, it's quite worrying, isn't it, when you've got a referee who... I think you can give the referee a little bit of a pass on that because of perhaps the position of where he is and probably thinks there's a touch on the ball.

But when you go to VAR, that's inexcusable.

That's the problem.

Yeah, when you set up a back four and then you've got a holding player in front of it who's just screening that, it's very difficult to play in behind because there's very little space to play those balls over the top.

We know Harry Kane doesn't have blistering pace, so he doesn't play that way.

And it's an exercise that you do a lot of times in training, day in, day out, where you try and break down a back four, a back five.

Now, you can have an overload of seven, eight players, and in a training session for around about 20, 30 minutes,

you might not score a goal because you're not getting moved out of position.

Now, suddenly, what we used to do in training was we'd say, right, one of the full-backs has got to release himself, he's got to go downfield, and then the opposition team have got an overload of, say, a 5v3 or a 6v3.

Now, that's a little bit easier to shift them because there becomes more space.

Well, Ghana very, very rarely shifted out that space.

I just thought it was a game where...

I love Thomas Tuchel.

I think he's a brilliant manager.

I think he's proactive in the changes that he made.

I thought he probably waited 10 minutes too long today.

And I thought he could have taken off another midfielder, one of the holder midfielders, whether it was Anderson or Rice.

And I thought he could have put on another attacking midfielder in that position.

But listen, the great thing is, and I know it's not a great result,
