Mings needs to jump when he's in a wall.

Disagree. Fair play if they get it up and over but if you are jumping they can either put it under or the ball is much more likely to deflect off your head than it is to go in naturally.

This is the problem with Southgate.  Play all the defenders yet they've got 2 goals. 

Not enough attackers so we can't take the game to them. 

This could very easily have been what happened in the first game against them. They were so unlucky not to get a few goals and we performed a smash and grab for an undeserved win. 

It works against lesser teams because all the defenders can shut them out, and the few attackers are usually good enough for an individual to nick something. 

But the top teams will dominate possession and eventually work through your defence and then snuff out your outnumbered attack. 

It's never going to win anything but will qualify you for everything.

Completely agree

What were currently watching is a kick and rush manager relying on a front 3 with wide men that don't run the channels, a CD who likes to drop deep and 2 wide men who don't run past him 

Its an awful selection and a complete mess
