and I’m picking on SS because I grow more peed off about yesterday’s result
I’ve tried to keep my nose above water about Greggggg but he cost is that match
So he holds Gio out for England, ok fine
But seemingly we squared in defense in 2nd half to preserve legs (preserve legs of the youngest team in WC)
If that was an actual concern then sub at half to keep doing what was obviously working
If not at ‘45 then at least at ‘60
We had wales beat and then we played in a way that encouraged them to believe they could get back in the game
It was just dumb no matter how it’s sliced

So it WAS GGG fault, not mine.

Yeah we can kinda look back in hindsight and say, tactically/formation/player selection wasnt the proper way to go.

I just struggle with the fact that outside the PK, Wales really had no other threats....possession, yes. But they really werent "unlocking" our back line. That play by Zimmerman was just a momentary lapse and it cost us the game.

I know on previous threads we have all said ( and witnessed ) about this game, it literally takes just ONE moment of being 'switched off" and turns the game on its head.

REALLY bad time for him to have made the decision, but we need him to clear his head and be ready for Friday. Im sure he didnt sleep well last night.
