Is There a Right Player for That Game?
The players who've got the personality above the ability. It's going to be a midfielder when we're losing two-nil against Germany, who's going to demand the ball when Wembley's turning. All those players would just fit in because there's such good players. But I do think that, and you could have affected that by playing a different shape. If we had a diamond in midfield or created a free to create overloads in midfield, you might have worked. We felt like, and it was a situation that was levelled out as quite a lot. The managers were strong enough at that time to go right.
