First England match down and we won.
Already there’s negative press about the team’s delivery and Southgate’s perhaps somewhat nervous inability to take decisions to sub players off sooner.
With a strong team and a decent manager, it’s a wonder why we all feel nervous when it comes to watching England play.
⚽️ Could this feeling have been ingrained in us all for as long as we can remember due to the onslaught of post-match criticism?
⚽️ If so, when anticipated fault-finding out-weighs any kind of positivity or praise, this leads to a rise in self-defence, self-protection, and inability to act as one normally would.
⚽️ And if this is the impact it can have on us as mere spectators, then how the hell does this feel for Southgate and his team?!
The societal norm is for our squad to play, only for the press to tear apart both team strategy and physical performance.
Perhaps if this narrative changed, we would see the self-belief, confidence and decisive play that both team and manager are being so heavily criticised for not having?
A part of having a growth mindset is about reflecting on where to improve whilst leveraging what did go well, so let’s also celebrate:
⭐️ Bellingham’s goal in less than 15 minutes play, relieving him of just some of the massive focus and pressure he’s been under!
⭐️ Pickford’s ability to keep a late equaliser at bay when we were almost home and dry!
⭐️ Ultimately a win! Stronger play in the first half, with lessons to learn moving forwards…
→ What are your thoughts on this? Did you enjoy the match? What do you think of the squad and their manager? Or are you here for the men in shorts? 😉
