I won’t be watching any replays either, MK …. and I’m certainly not defending Southgate or the performances. Having said that … it’s a fine line between opponent’s mistakes and creating opportunities. Kane’s goal seems to be seen by many as a defensive error. If I was that defender I’d be sick … but not beating myself up too much. For me it was created by the electrifying pace and opportunistic aggression of Walker. A lot of opportunities get ‘handed’ to teams because of pressure and the defensive mistakes that occur as a result.
If Kane’s header had gone in then different story. The same with Foden in the next game.
In both games, against decent teams, we looked good enough in the early stages. What frustrates is the seeming inability to push on and consolidate when we clearly have great talent. A win and two or three goals on Tuesday night and the mood changes. Over to Gareth!
