Bringing on two players at the death to take two penalties. And both were misses.
Viva Italia.

Concur London.
At the time it seemed like an odd choice to send on 2 cold players.
Even stranger was the selection of a (albeit very talented) lad to take the 5th penalty.

Agree these to me where the only mistakes we really made all tournament. Easily pointing the finger from the outside though, if Gareth asked who wanted to take them and these five were all willing then fair enough but why weren’t a couple more senior players prepared to step up to the plate.

It seems as if all was planned in advance. Perhaps these were the best five penalty takers in training?

Gutless of some senior Internationals NOT to step up for the penalties. Absolutely GUTLESS.

Southgate obviously did not learn from his own mistake, by putting a young player in the firing line. It didn't work for him some years ago. And now these three kids are copping it with racial abuse etc. Sickening.

These are hateful guttersnipes, who are oblivious and selective to the fact that these are all English lads. Tossing accelerants onto the racial strife bonfire. Utter scorn and contempt for them.

Sorry, just re-read the thread, my quote of gutless referenced the deranged behaviour by so called supporters.

biggest mistake was not selecting Grealish in preference for a 5 man defence
