[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1047633, member: 74895"] All ifs buts and maybes now. Can you imagine the uproar if he'd left Kyle Walker and Jordan Henderson on and both had missed or if he'd made the subs earlier and England lost a goal late on due to losing their defensive shape? I'm pretty sure this would all have been decided and agreed with the players in advance based on how confident they were in taking a penalty and so for Southgate to abandon that and go with a Plan B at the last minute would have created doubt amongst the players. Saka taking the fifth one was the one that surprised me but from what I hear he's a very confident lad and Sterling is not known for taking penalties. It's a harsh way to lose a final but hopefully will give them the hunger to bounce back in Qatar. [/QUOTE]
