What a great post.
We looked knackered as soon as they scored. Mentally and physically it broke us.
All this argument about if Jack should have passed or not, you can not take away his brilliance to create this opportunity in the first place. He had no right to get into that position but he did. He’s some player and he’s bloody ace.
I don't think it's churlish at all. I think Watkins was much better placed to score, and if he had, we might have taken something from the game. I'm not going to beat him up over it as he's obviously still far and away our best and most exciting player, but he made the wrong decision in my opinion, and increased the ammunition for numpties like Southgate.

Jack should have passed and looking back he will know this. No one is knocking him. He's adored by us but sometimes you have be honest and admit he's not quite the perfect player. Yet. And I agree about Southgate. He will feel justified with his lamentable misuse of Jack's unique talent. But as someone posted earlier Jack will outlive Southgate's tenure and hopefully a progressive coach will get the England job and utilise his special talents to the full.
