Southgate got his tactics all wrong. But it was good to see England win a shootout and he at least seems to have instilled a better mentality and culture round the national team. Perhaps he needs a more tactically aware assistant manager or something. Subbing Sterling rather than Alli yesterday was a mad decision. The latter looked absolutely gassed and failed to close down the right back and Modric on numerous occasions.

It felt that way to me too, as I said before the game
