@SamLStandsUp : Can teams be consistently good in close games? EP:7 open.spotify.com/episode/4epSJd…

@TheoVuka I think Gareth in particular has a problem of choice, so many good players makes it hard to decide. Also the narrative going into this tournament has been about his ability to make big decisions in big games. I’d imagine that impacts his decision making ability as well.

@RossJNeal Great thread Ross, very insightful and accurate reflection on ‘the weight of the shirt’ we see hinder players regularly. What are your thoughts though on the other side of the coin? This tournament we seem to be see a lot of risk averse management with a lack of decision making?

4/ When the pressure comes on, the team that's willing to go for it more often wins, and we are terrified of failing, yet that's just what happens.

22/ But saying that, we're still a hard-to-beat side with an easy draw and some top-class players. Maybe the other teams get tired and we sneak our first major trophy in 60 years...maybe...just maybe...it could come home. 🏆 #England #ThreeLions

21/ A change in mentality, support from fans, and constructive media coverage could help England unlock their true potential.
