'I threw a text in the group, and I stand by this: Gareth, in the moment, wasn’t proactive with his substitutions, he was reactive.'

And Ferdinand doesn’t think Southgate was “proactive” enough with his substitutions, while his general “in-game management” came up short.“I think he’s been pitch-perfect, touch-perfect in almost every decision he’s made up to this point, but you get into a game like yesterday where this is really where it matters now, and I think Gareth Southgate came up short in the tactical element in terms of substitutions.
“It hit 1-1 and we’re sitting there going ‘take the bull by the horns, make a substitution, get us on the front foot’. You’ve got Rashford, you’ve got Grealish who can go on, get us on the front foot and change this game. Ferdinand added: “I think, if I am Gareth Southgate, I can not leave this story. This story hasn’t had an ending yet that works for me, if I’m Gareth Southgate.
