I played the match back again today, very different when you're not emotionally involved anymore. Thing that struck me most was that neither the BBC commentator or co-commentator Alan Shearer or the studio guests made even a squeak of a reference or criticism of the defensive subs until after they equalised. Soon as the match was finished they were all piling in, including the studio. And according to all the media today it was all so obvious.

I had the 5 Live commentary on and both main commentator and summariser (Paul Robinson) were critical of England sitting so deep even before the substitutes, so it clearly wasn't that impossible to discern.
Probably reflects how the BBC selects television pundits more than anything if they didn't notice or point it out.

The second I saw Gordon replaced with a defender I said …. Oh we’ve fkd it.
I'm definitely no tactical expert & didn't go as far as that, but even I said "whaaaaat?" and had a sinking feeling immediately TT made that substitution.
