Same old England. On first viewing I thought Tuchel’s subs were disastrous. On second viewing, the retreat happened beforehand, a consequence of Argentina pushing on & England being exhausted. The three defensive subs did make sense. Analysis here…⬇️
nytimes.com/athletic/74485… First sub: England had ended up in a back five/six beforehand (see below) after Argentina used four up top. Gonzalez on down the left completely changed the game. If you’re going to end up with Rogers/Gordon as an uncomfortable wing-back, you may as well play a proper back five.
