I do think the substitutions played a part, but I don't think that they were necessarily the reason for which England capitulated in the end, because it was a capitulation.
It's not because you've got, you know, Gonza rather than Anthony Gordon on the pitch that you have to play a 10-0 formation.
And that's, I think there's one moment where the players...
I don't know, it's this weird English thing of just everything being go back, go back, go back, as if the only way to defend a lead is to be a kind of Alamo situation.
You know, backs to the wall.
A Gordon Bunce-like save by Jordan Pickford.
A Bobby Moore-like tackle by Jet Spence.
Yeah.
Well, we all know how the Alamo finished.
They got beaten and they all were shot.
So it's not a good idea.
But it seems that every time England reverts to type and it doesn't matter who the manager is, the subs can play a part because they set a signal to the team.
But I heard what Rooney had to say.
And to put the blame solely at the feet of the manager is totally wrong.
And I think that most people who do not have much of a bone in this, even though I would have dearly liked to see England go past this particular Argentinian team, for which, as a Frenchman, you can imagine I do not have any particular tenderness, given what's happened between us in the past.
It's wrong just to say it's the manager's fault, it's the manager's fault.
Some of what he said after the game which he just played sounded a little bit Pollyannish to me because you could argue that they played their best game.
Well, I'm not so sure.
I think they played their best game against Croatia myself, but that's maybe a different feeling.
And given the circumstances, they did quite well.
