This is why I'm confused the JWP wasn't in the squad, great at dead balls and a centre mid who can create in a squad with only 4 centre kids and 4 right backs. Am I missing anything?

Haha England...
Games can be decided by the finest of margains sometimes and we seen it tonight with the penalty takers. What was Southgate thinking making Saka at 19 year old take their 5th? Lol.
Happy days, and yeah, I'm a bitter Scot that likes to see England lose.

Well done Italy, England just can’t get it done, heartbreak again, like it’s not meant to be for them.

Centre backs and goal keeper will be/are iconic. Chiesa, Barella, Veratti, jorginho are all elite too.

If I were Southgate I would have pulled Phillips, not Rice for Henderson. Mount & Sterling should have been removed after 60 minutes after poor performances to be replaced by Grealish/Sancho. Bringing Saka on was a good idea on merit with pace against the tiring Italian defenders.
Overall just too cautious, should have gone for it in normal time.
Of course you would have.
Henderson was absolutely anonymous despite hitting 1 open pass through to Sterling.
He spent half the time he was on walking around.
If anything, Rice ideally should have stayed on and Henderson stayed off.

England are worse than Liverpool. Yet he's a key player for a better team. To think that TAA is not good enough in general play yet can somehow play every game in a CL and Premier League winning side is just, well dumb. You're being dumb.

Not really the keeper is a kid who was a free agent last week. Not buffon yet - The cbs are iconic but about 80 years old combined and slower than time.
Barella is a gun but hardly pirlo. The mid gorup is class generally but it's a step down on previous Italy teams.
England squad is worth 3-4 times as much money on paper and they squibbed it like a bunch on w***ers that their nation represents.
Maybe next home ground-pandemic fellers.
Sadly the pom squad is very young high ceiling

Broke the ****ing camera, what a lad.
Mate, everyone on this forum, every England fan and Gareth Southgate saw how shit TAA was this season.
2019 wants your opinion back.
He was horrible in 20/21 and justifiably lost his spot in one of Englands deepest positions.
He's Englands 4th or 5th best RB, keep crying and trying to convince everyone he's the best RB in the world, despite not being able to defend.

No he wasnt. He had a dip in form for about three months, then recovered and was excellent in the run in. He wasnt at his best this season, but nobody was at Liverpool outside of the machine that is Mo Salah.
But lol at you for thinking TAA is no good in general play.
He had a (major) dip in form for about half the season, whilst some of his peers had career best years and were rock solid in title winning sides.
Thanks for solidifying my point.
I'd have rathered Luke Ayling than TAA. No bullshitting.
Jack Harrison tore him apart in the first match of the season and he barely recovered by Christmas.

Most managers would change a midfield that was getting overrun and getting only 29% possession.

Meh, I'm glad you would rather Ayling. You can keep him, we'll keep TAA. Both happy.
Oh and you're sticking with the TAA is no good in general play? Strange hill to die on. Haha
He did.
He changed Mount eventually.
They were conceding 65% possession but not able to retain the ball in their own half.
They didn't concede for well over an hour and were pushing the possession wide and conceded mainly shots outside the box in the first half, again in a midfield that only conceded 2 goals (1 to a freekick and 1 to a scrambled flukey goal in the box) in the whole tournament.
Rice and Phillips proved almost impossible to break down for every side in the tournament, including Italy.
