  • Exactly this. Honestly never seen a manager lose his fucking mind on the biggest of stages like that tonight. It's one thing letting the game pass you by and not reacting. But it's completely differen

    Honestly, a lot of times when we go out in the latter stages, we've played well and just not had the bounce or whatever. But this was just craven and unnecessary. Semi final of the World Cup, go out

  • Get Tuchel sacked immediately. That's worse than any of Southgate's defensive horror shows. Completely gave the game away at 1 nil up, by stopping playing for 35 minutes.

I am no football expert but if I can predict a game how can the England coaches not do the same.

Every step of the game was predictable, other than Tuchels subs. Why is Mainoo there if in a game we are playing defenders in midfield ? If we need an out ball why no Watkins or even Saka ?

Watch the first goal , a short corner and we only have one player outside the penalty area, they knock it about and pass it to bloke 20 yards out and no one is near him. Players playing out of position in a formation that they looked like they did not understand.

It is a WC semi they will have good players if you give them time and space they will punish you, they could have at least before they scored, hit post twice and save from Pickford, all from balls from our left but still had no one near the ball.

How did Kane get a full game ?

Pretty succinct summary there 👍

Doubt Southgate would have done what Tuchel did toneet tbf. That was Absolute suicide.

He wouldn't, but he'd have still let the game pass by like he always did

I don't know what the answer is

Last 10 you can understand

Not with half hour to go when touvrygot them on the ropes

Just another bottled

Has to go

Was talking about exactly this at work this morning. Get a lead, don't go sitting back until like you say, last 5 or 10 when you inevitably come under pressure.

And you never know, being more positive might lead to a second goal 😒

Worse than anything Southgate ever served up.

Not a chance Tuchel should survive that for me.

He will survive.

Teams under Southgate bottled it as well. But nothing like today.

We didn’t lay a finger on them after scoring & the choices of subs left it on a plate for them at 1-1. Tuchel left us for dead today.

We looked like a team ranked 92nd in the world holding onto that. Which is criminal with the talent we have.

Home nation for the Euros & Tuchel at the helm. It’ll be embarrassing

Wow - Mr patriotic been waiting for that?

You still came out with a load of bullshit about the players, the manager, how far we’d get that was beyond clueless.

Bet your happy tonight you twat.

Well you can wallow in your pretence that you know better than everybody else.

Get it off your chest, Far from happy but i on the other hand never really got into the tournament....Nothing wrong with the players efforts,but we have missed a chance of getting it over the line because of a inept manager who simply picked the wrong squad. Do not usually answer to pricks who stoop to your level. I will take it your still pumped up and its a one off...........I got it totally wrong with Spence.....I will leave it there

Thing is, it was there for us mate.

We weren't lucky to be in front, it was a fairly even game but we could argue we were edging it.

Good teams don't need to go into their shell with over 30 minutes to go, just keep doing what got you on top.

This was Italy in the euro final all over again, gave it away.

Argentina are a good team, need to keep the foot on their throat when you have them down

Fuck football. I've been trying to defend Tuchel against mates who say he should have thrown Saka, Watkins and Rashford on as if that would automatically throw us onto the front foot. He did what he thought was best and what most managers would have done in the latter stages of a World Cup semi final against the reigning world champions and best player ever. I'm more than happy to be called clueless etc but as I said, fuck football.

I'm not sure there's a worse team to try and defend a lead against

It was worse that Italy

Far worse

Just needed to get some pace on, have options to counter & press them.

Never seen anything like it from an England manager

Our only hope is he decides it’s not for him

We had 12% posession between us taking the lead and them getting the winner

1/ Including Stones and James wasn’t clueless - both contributed well in this tournament. 

2/ You said Spence was never a footballer - you’d completely written him off  

3/ Be home before the post -😂

You just throw out a load of shit to every managerial decision you don’t agree with and the majority doesn’t stick.

Then you come on and try to claim some bragging rights after our nation has been knocked out in the semi finals of the World Cup.

I’m convinced if BWFC had lost at Wembley you wouldn’t have gone into hiding - you’d have been on here telling us where SS went wrong.

Yeah I saw that. A damning statistic that proves everyone but me and Tuchel right...still wank defending on both goals though.

I think if we’d have kept the same shape but with fresh legs, we’d have gone in to get a second.

But the thing is, the managers of the other nations in the latter stages DONT do it.

Correct. We have to keep him.

If that had been Southgate, you would have been all over him and wanted him sacking, and quite rightly by the way.

TT picked a largely imbalanced squad, didn't really play well, and we've gone out with a bit of piss poor management. Tuchel still has to prove he's any better than Southgate, he's not done that yet. He's gets another chance in the Euros, if we doesn't win that, then he does have to go.

As ever though, we know you never change your mind, and will stick with him, even if we continue to fail miserably, as we always do.

Worse as it was the World Cup, the absolute pinnacle.

Argentina are a top side, Italy were very much there to be beaten.

Can't disagree with your reasoning though.

No other team EVER goes so defensive as early as we do, just no need.

He will get hammered by more than us on here.

And rightly so.

Against Italy we kept attackers on the pitch, the manager was on the sidelines screaming at the players to get up the pitch. Tonight, our manager made a decision to surrender possession and territory against Argentina with 40 minutes left to play. And had no idea how to turn the tide.

He fucking shit the bed.

Any half decent team would've scored against us defending like that.

That's mental

We must've been near 60 until we scored

P45

You aren't the first person to tell me I'm wrong tonight... It's rapidly dawning on me that maybe I don't know what the fuck I'm on about.
