One of the biggest issues we have is Pickford. He’s like an excited puppy, more aimless hoofs forward than you can shake a stick at, a
Nervousness on the ball you don’t get with modern quality keepers and a new Neuer like tendency to rush out of his box alongside an indecision if he should do that. Konsa and Guehi must be shaking their heads in disbelief.
Added to that other teams have realised we don’t seem to have a winger who can beat a man so are happy to clog up the centre of the pitch knowing their full backs can handle the one on ones outside.
But having said all that we’re through to the last 32 will probably beat Dr Congo and then against Mexico at altitude is anyone’s guess. I still think we’re very susceptible to teams who can quick transition (both Ghana and Panama proved that) so if we make it to the semi we’ll in all likelihood get crucified by Argentina.
