not taking trent was v strange

also taking toney and dan burn ffs

kane should do the sensible thing and now retire, not sabotage engand's euro hopes at 35

Gunner89 not taking trent was v strange

I’m fine with that. Trent’s very overrated and fallen out of favour in Madrid.

If you build the entire system for him then he’s very good but overall not worth the effort. I don’t think he’d change things today.

Gunner89 r it could be the reason he's still fresh is because he wasted those 3 years in a very bad league where they can't even spell intensity

tazmania

Tuchel got the team selection wrong and his tactics very wrong today. It's incredible how every new decision he made was worse than the last

Sicario2 An insane performance at 39 in a semi final against a really strong opponent. I am equally amazed and repelled by his God like status in the dressing room. They all play for him, they sing songs after every win that are dedicated to him and winning the world cup for him. He became a leader like no other too.

In a way I am glad none of our players were involved in that Tuchel shitshow late 2nd half. Can't blame Rice , Saka , Noni , Eze .

Sicario2

P.S: I would go for Enzo Fernandez in the summer ahead of Bruno G. He’s an absolute cunt but big game player

tazmania

Sicario2 I'd rather take a bag of bricks

Gunner89

Sicario2

Nowhere mobile enough and can't defend, good enough in a more pedestrian international stage or a better fit in la liga or serie a

If we are planning to play conference league after this season, by all means we should pay 130m for him

Mirth

GooneriC yes, if the alternative is to risk a champions league spot. You don’t just pick and choose where you finish, you know.

Mirth

I disagree mate, clearly been part of many liverpool teams with different formations and squads, won the lot, even having a non defending salah in front of him

He's probably the best passer england have

Time and again i've seen him unlock us and from right back that's insane

Falling out of favour at madrid shouldn't really matter

He literally took a broken James, and for some absurd reason Chalobah and Dan Burn

Dom

Gunner89 sad he opted to take 3 proper years where he could've made a much more tangible impact in a serious league

The most tragic of Messi's missing years are, IMO, the two he didn't spend in prison.

Sicario2

Gunner89 it’s the fact he’s been playing in MLS that has allowed him to be relevant/fresh in this World Cup imo.

His mentality when his country went 1-0 down was unreal, took full ownership.

Burnwinter I think it's 95% tuchel bringing on defenders like that is stupid against quality footballers. If you give them all the time and space of course they can hurt you.

The subs didn't roll until over 20 minutes after the goal. England's collapse on the ball belongs as much to the players as the manager or to changed instructions. England capitulated.

I've never been a fan of Tuchel but he's been on a hiding to nothing from the start working under England conditions.

For instance all the reporting now will be that Tuchel couldn't handle the relationship with Bellingham, when I'd say the argument is stronger Tuchel maximised Bellingham's output. The player's a match-winning genius, but he's a temperamental little shit as well.

JazzG I mean a little troubling that our players couldn't last the game or were for enough to start.

JazzG

awooga83 He should have bought Saka on after around 65/70 mins or Madueke, they needed someone to get the ball up the pitch.

Also Rice taken off after 82 mins and Argentina score in the 85th minute....

awooga83

Burnwinter yeah but if your team is struggling it's your job to change it. I assumed they were trying to hold on to the hydration break and get instructions and subs. I'd that's wasn't the case he should have changed it bring plateys who could turn Argentina back. I'm sorry you bring in loads of defenders and your cannot be surprised they sit back and doing that against quality teams it's stupid. You can get lucky but more often then not you'll concede because of your allow professional footballers time in the ball I don't know what you think it's going to happen.

Southgate made these mistakes, tuchel was supposed to be better in game, he showed he is not and that was the whole reason to appoint him for me so he should be sacked.

Ultimately when we tried to go forwards Argentina weren't that impressive, when we sat back they looked elite. That was all about Tuchel and his tactics.

Sicario2

JazzG Madueke will be lucky if he gets another min for Tuchel. Saka is physically done unfortunately.

Been a bad World Cup for our stars. No one has really come out of it with any glory apart from Merino.

awooga83

JazzG yeah but they hit the post before that and it was coming
