He feared Croatia, probably went for a more defensive set up as a result.

No excuse not to be more attack minded for the other two group matches now.
 
England 1 Croatia 0
Utterly comfortable throughout the game


Winning does not justify the unjustifiable. The minutes 20 - 45 were utterly dreadful. No service to the frontline - slow and unbalanced. Philips has surprised everyone and was motm - but why play tripper on the left when you have Shaw and Chilwell.
 
He’s a good international manager. He’s tactically astute and knows and trusts his squad according to their strengths. I was disappointed we didn’t have a natural left back in the side and that Grealish didn’t feature but the ends justified the means.

It was more than justified. Take your beer goggles off man.

Eh?

So if we win every game and win the tournament, his selections won’t be justified?
