I’m sure Sterling would have stepped up. He looked really frustrated at not taking a kick and seems like the guy who wouldn’t be afraid of the moment. Same with Grealish.
I’m not sure where This narrative about players “stepping up” is coming from. To me it looks pretty clear that these were Southgate’s calls.

Maybe he was worried Sterling would flop instead of kicking the ball
