2 years ago in Qatar Spain was so young, and looked... Naive, even. And now WOW, I'm really loving this side. Nico Williams and Yamin are a delight to watch.
It's somewhat backwards, but I think all the criticism is counterproductive, as it just pushes Gareth to make more and more conseravtive choices. A manager with credit in the bank feels free to experiment and switch things around. If he had any sense, he'd be subbing Kane off at 60 minutes on the dot.
The Kane situation is really you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. If he subs or benches him and they don't perform people would be why did you not use him. If he doesn't perform then people will go well you got other options why have you not used them.
The thing is that this kind of performance isn't even new, they have been really lackluster with warm up matches and friendlies. Barely scraped by group stages really. The only saving grace is that Rice and Saka will get a longer break until the American tour
