But if you deploy tactics where you put six defenders on the field, where you play five at the back, where you take Anthony Gordon off and replace him with Azri Konca, where you bring Nico O'Reilly on for Declan Rice, when you send that message to your players that we want to get entrenched, we want to sit back, we're going to give them space and we think we're going to be able to hold them off.

But this isn't Mexico crossing from deep to a 35-year-old Raul Jimenez.

Yes, it was the Azteca, but we were down to 10 men in that game.

Like, that was proper fire and brimstone, getting through it, crawling your way to the mountaintop.

This was a situation where we had the upper hand in the game.

After 60 hard-fought minutes where it had been back and forth, where it had been physical, where we'd got down and dirty on their level to an extent, and we had come out on top, we just then shrunk.

We had that big moment and we completely disappeared inside our shell.

And this is what we did with Southgate.

We lost two Euros finals where we had leads.

We lost a semi-final against Croatia where we had a lead.

These are games of football that we could have gone on and won if we were bolder, if we were braver, and if the manager trusted in the quality of the players on the pitch.

Thomas Tuchel has paid five million pounds a year, eight million with add-ons apparently from this World Cup.

I know you hear from Warren Barton a lot on TV out there.

He's a regular feature on American coverage, but we had him on the show today and he's absolutely right when he says you could take any goal and find the individual error, find the mistake, find the reason it was scored.

And in that situation, you know,

Two players in Jed Spence as one of them, both making the same run, not one going to the ball and one blocking off the cross was a clear mistake.

Esri Konca and John Stones not being tight to Lautaro Martinez, who, by the way, is not a big man by any stretch of the imagination, was undoubtedly a mistake.

I mean, let's be honest.

I love Ellie Anderson.

£116 million of player should not be distracted by Messi when he's already marked by two men instead of closing Enzo Fernandes down.
