and from Football365
In the quarter of an hour leading up to Cole Palmer’s equaliser they had three shots to four and 56.4% possession; in the 15 minutes after, they had zero shots to two and 23% of the ball, were just about to bring on Kieran Trippier and Conor Gallagher to consolidate that negative position and then conceded a goal they could not muster a reply to as they had no tangible foundation to build from, nor the requisite time remaining to construct one. also
Pickford made 36 passes in the game and went long with 25 of them. He had a 55% pass completion rate. Simon for Spain had an 87% pass completion rate. What summed it up for me was when England were trailing 1-0 and under no pressure Pickford trying to smash a half volley as hard as he could upfield. Straight out of play. J Shooters
