SpillBlood Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I think this sums up what annoys me Heck, I'm glad I got to see us in a major tournament final and it's a day/game I'll always remember, I'm proud of our team and hopefully it long continues. We have some cracking young players and hopefully this experience will help out Southgate and we can win the World Cup next year instead . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comparison, Berardi and Belotti are great takers, taking pens for their club for years. Bernardeschi is also good, obviously doesn't take them for Juventus. Bonucci always stepped up in the shootouts and has a good record. Jorginho, you know him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, if he decided that Saka was to take the fifth, whilst Sterling and Grealish are willing to take one, then that is genuinely horrendous management.

Travis Bickle Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Arsenal bias here, but this was too harsh on Saka. If no one else stood up and it was down to him, then shame on his teammates for letting the responsibility fall to a teenager who has never taken a penalty in a professional match. Mbappe who is several years older and a World Cup winner folded under the pressure of taking a decisive penalty, how was Saka going to fair? Doesn't detract from the fact that A) Missing 3 penalties in a row is death and B) Southgate managed this game horrendously bad. Parked the bus after the first goal.
