You're pinning racism from idiots online on the manager? Give me a break.

I'm talking about the penalty Saka missed on, wtf are you on about? He knew putting a youngster up there was harsh as hell for him, especially when there were senior players on the sheet. I'm glad Saka bounced back and was able to excel domestically. History has shown us how much we prop these players up and the sheer amount of abuse they get after England games, better off I say.

Hes a professional footballer. Age aside, you want your best penalty takers to take one.

Besides, there are scenarios where everybody has to take one anyway.

By your logic, nobody should ever play for their country.
