The statistics of the World Cup game reveal England had possession of the ball during 60% of the game against Tunisia, but only had 16 shots at Goal of which 7 were on target !
This reflects a game in which all the top English stars were pre-occupied with "possession football" on or around the half-way line : they were "pussy-footing" the ball to each other ! Why ? Were they terrified by the Tunisien tactics, "Get the man if not the ball" ?
To earn a real chance to shoot at goal, players must be nearer the oponents penalty area, not on the half-way line !
Luckily a header by Kane in the 91st minute was the winning goal, but different and more attacking tactics are needed for at least the next two games !
