Brought on just to take a penalty in the final of a major tournament without having kicked a ball in the game. I don’t think any of us can imagine the pressure of that situation so I personally don’t put any blame on Rashford or Sancho.Not the two players brought on to take a pen? No other responsibility, just strike the ball by running up to it and score. Couldn’t fathom the running or score part though. Yep, Southgate to blame.
feck that. Good on him
Two players brought on at the last minute, cold, barely touched the ball, expected to take a high pressure penalty. Its not a coincidence both failed. Managers choice.Not the two players brought on to take a pen? No other responsibility, just strike the ball by running up to it and score. Couldn’t fathom the running or score part though.

Probably could have waited and the gaffer to clarify it at the press conference. I'm sure he would have.
But really I see nothing wrong with that tweet. He's not slagged the boss off.

Always like goalkeepers taking pens as they seem to score but if you were third up and missed not sure it would be the best for your mental state as you back between the sticks.I would have had him and Hendo for one all day, it's not even about ability at that stage it 's bottle and self belief. Maybe could have even had Pickford put his foot through one before putting the young lads under silly pressure.

Henderson has missed his last two penalties for England.I would have had him and Hendo for one all day, it's not even about ability at that stage it 's bottle and self belief. Maybe could have even had Pickford put his foot through one before putting the young lads under silly pressure.
Its disrespectful the day after other players have missed penno's that put England out IMO

Aye, how dare he prepare a list in advance when he could just have cobbled one together on the spot?Just morons wanting to have a go at players when the culprit was the Manager for choosing the takers and which penalty they would take.
You could see on Grealish's face he wasn't happy and I'd guess that because he wanted to take one.. His last penalty btw was over two years ago.“I said I wanted to take one!!!! The gaffer has made so many right decisions through this tournament and he did tonight! But I won’t have people say that I didn’t want to take a peno when I said I will…”
