Southgate 1-0 Mancini so far.
High press is negating a lot of what they want to do - and the twin wing backs caused them all kinds of problems early doors (as well as leading to the goal, of course) before they adjusted.
Mancini needs to come up with something else second half, because we are otherwise looking comfortable.
I know Malcolm told us he was decent, but the ref has impressed as well. Extremely no nonsense; no soft free kicks from him.
