I seem to have been the only one who wasn't forecasting an England win, and even I hedged my bets with a draw.

The emotion of the Greeks played a part, as did the fact that Pavlidis played far better than all our forwards put together. Now we know why Pep let Cole go ..... obviously he couldn't fit him into the same team as Foden either.

A false nine can only work if the forwards buy into it and take on the role of the nine from time to time. Otherwise all you get is absence - absence of any threat.
