Why didn?t Armstrong play the ball? Almost stopped and opted to get into a wrestling match with the defender.

As has been said though the officials quickly realised that giving a penalty would have meant the defender being sent off for at least 2 yellow cards if not a straight red
They probably opted for the anything for an easier life approach though

Such a dreary decision on paper. I think we?ll comfortably beat Slovenia as they play 4-4-2 and part of our problem against the Serbs and the Danes is that they always had a +1 on us at the back cos they played with 3 CB?s. We?ll see - we need a convincing win.

Criminal really, by Armstrong. If he?d have tried to score and been fouled then fair enough but the daft sod didn?t try and score.

Don?t know what your problem is pal but maybe we ought to meet up for a nice glass of Italian red to discuss what your issue are and maybe I can help you ?

We may have qualified but does anyone believe Southgate has the tactical nouse or plan to beat a quality team in the knockout stage?
If replacing Alexander-Arnold with Gallagher is the master plan then I am underwhelmed.

Think its pretty clear from this thread to date that a lot of folk had made their up long before any performances etc in this tournament. They are well down the lane of if we win its in spite of him and if we lose its his fault. While i've questioned a few things he's done so far in this tournament i do think as well he has been let down by some players who are playing well below what they are capable of.

People had made up their mind because since 2018 the evidence is there that he doesn?t have a plan B, his dour and negative way of playing and his inability to capitalise on great chances in tournaments
