That is indicative of something, and it ain't good. However, Clarke stuck to his guns, and to his pals, and to his 'formation', if such it was, and to his 'tactics', if such they were, and paid the, ahem, penalty. It may only be described as a failure of management. Oh, and the 'pen' v Hungary was not a pen. Hungary, in fact should have had a pen, but didn't need it. And I'd take the Argentinian ref, and his assistants, and VAR men, for the next game v the fhilth. Myself and Alan Shearer will disagree re the pen. Agree with the tenor of your comments though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats no doubt confirm but they are good to watch except the last twenty minutes against Georgia. They could have had four by that time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
