People saying well he maybe just wants ingratiate himself with Southgate, but if I was a manager I'd want my striker to be a bit more greedy given the context of the game at that point. Obviously I couldn't care less what England do at the world cup, but I still want to see Tripps and Wilson do well, and Pope of course in the unlikely event he gets a chance.Ā He played the percentages, laid it on a plate and the team scored.

Canāt understand anyone who doesnāt think that was the correct thing in the circumstances Ā You're 5-1 up and it's probably going to be your one and only World cup, of course you go for it. Even Lineker and Shearer were baffled given both their mentalities when it came to scoring goals. If you're playing better opposition later in the tournament, and it's a tight game, then yes I can see the case for playing the percentages.Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
