The Poles were tough opponents and if Phillips could get booked for accidentally treading on an opponent’s foot, I dread to think what would have happened if an England player had put in a real crunching, full of passion tackle to show his commitment. The referee missed or ignored some obvious fouls. Grealish did a lot of moaning, just like he did when he played for us but some of his complaints were justified. It was really bad form of the Poles for failing to roll over and give us an easy game. I agree about Sterling. Either he isn’t aware of other players or he just ignores them and goes for glory.
The failure to use substitutes to see out the game and the chess like, slow build ups that Southgate prefers are what I would criticise most.
As for not caring, I want England teams to win everything from football, rugby and cricket to tiddlywinks and conkers.
