It just dropped off in the five minutes or so before that hydration break for me.
And I think then the changes just compounded it.
But it was already on its way.
Do you remember what the assistant coach was saying at half-time?
The longer the game goes on, the more Premier League intensity.
They went out and did exactly the opposite.
Well, I don't know how damaging it will be.
It could be considerable.
You have to make those decisions.
I can only think that he had the success with it in Mexico and thought that you could execute that same
scenario again but it's against a very different team with different capabilities that love the hunt love the suppressing and getting hold of the opponent and ragging them about and moving them everywhere and pressurising them it's a different animal in that sense but I just felt that we were getting so much joy with how we were playing
And to then not keep doing that, just keep, the goal shouldn't make any difference.
You've got to almost treat it like it's still nil-nil.
Keep doing what you're doing.
And England were the dominant force in the game.
So to change that, or whether or not he felt that the fitness or the energy or something was missing.
So he had to go into protection mode.
But that's kind of opposite to all the messages we've been getting and all the performances that we've seen in that, no, we don't need protection.
protection mode we can actually go after people we're fit enough we're brave enough we're strong enough as a group we've got each other's back which i think the players have shown that um and it's just yeah it just feels a really negative way to go out of the tournament the last 25 minutes of this tournament has been so negative in that sense which is a real shame
No, I don't.
