TheJew 2,886 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Southgate *** up. His substitutions were shocking. Rice was doing well and he brings on Henderson. Saka comes on and has a mare, then is taking the 5th penalty. Kid is 19. Brings on Rashford and Sancho to specifically take penalties and they both miss. This is all after the fact he decided to just sit deep and defend after our early goal. He royally cooked it up today. Link to post Share on other sites

You did well I understand if you feel gutted It’s weird as I don’t feel anything. As soon as it went to penalties I knew it was over 1 Link to post Share on other sites

To be perfectly honest they surpassed my expectations, but it still feels like Croatia 3 years ago. The opportunity was there...they just didn't take it. I still don't understand why we were so passive 2nd half and let Italy control the game. If we'd done what we did in the 1st half it could have been very different. I'm not sure why you were surprised? We've been quite negative all tournament in our setups, just up until now weve had a massive quality advantage. Gutted we've lost. I fricken hate walking run ups for penalties. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) To hold onto subs specifically for the penalty shootout was a decision that he was always going to live or die by tonight, Saka was shaky from his first touch to let him take one of the 5 penalties was appalling management.

Duvel 2,446 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Saka shouldn't have been taking a penalty in a million years, he looked like a bag of nerves since he came onto the pitch. Southgate will have to spend the rest of his life wondering what might have been if we hadn't tried to defend for 90 minutes and there's nothing worse than having regrets.

TheJew 2,886 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Also, Grealish should have been on for Mount after 60 minutes. Just got it all wrong today did Southgate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Letting saka take that penalty was stupid, specially after he had been poor through the game. Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,402 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Absolutely heartbroken. Far from outclassed, but penalties are the cruelest way to lose a match. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I know I said it at half time, but this is the Croatia game all over again. The only difference is that Italy settled for penalties as soon as extra time came around whilst Croatia kept going and put us out of our misery. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
