I think that in various parallel universes, where the Italians were down to 10, 9 or 8 men, we still wouldn't get close to scoring an extra time winner as long as we kept trying to run through the middle of their defence. If we'd used any of our multitude of wingers and wingbacks properly and whipped the occasional cross to the far or near post, we might not have needed extra time.You think them going to ten men would not change the outcome?
That’s what a cautious manager waits for .
A reason to change because they are weakened probably by sacrificing a forward to shore up the defence.
