I think it was Lee Dixon after the game who hit the nail on the head, the national team doesn't have an identity. Spain have tiki-taka, and Conte is taking Italy in the right direction by trying to make them feel more of a club team than international. Our build up play was far too slow and consistently using the same players rather than give Barkley a chance was atrocious management. Rashford was our only decent player, and when we have Bertrand and Clyne on the bench, and Walker and Rose can't find a cross it's criminal to not put at least one on.
F*cking genius starting a pace merchant like Sterling against a team who'll sit back like Iceland. Lack of a viable plan b, or at least employing it too late, was always going to be a bad sign.
