Picking Sterling again after his abject failure in the group games? Not having Townsend in the squad? Picking Wilshere when not match fit? Not using Rashford enough? A settled side of players in form would have secured victory.
The main fault was the lack of organisation. When players began to panic there was no simple default game plan to revert to. So we saw very good players (man for man better than anything Iceland had) playing very badly and above all aimlessly.
