We're living off scraps and wasting them.

Playing too deep and overrun in midfield. We either change shape or need to be much sharper in what we are doing

That shot summarizes Okafor’s game so far. Making a strong case for Gnonto.

2 1\2 games at the new Wembley and no goals scored. Not sure how to fix it, if players freeze on the big stage, there's nothing we can do. Tactics were all wrong sitting back, we should have been in their faces from the start.

Including 1996, it's 3 1/2 games at Wembley without a goal.
