Maybe we should take a pass on spending a fortune on this bloke and sign John Stones on a FREE?

Did you watch that second half? Not a single one of those left our half. From minute 66:05 - 84:42 we made 2 passes as a team. In 18 minutes and 37 seconds, 2 passes. Those 2 passes were from Pickford to Stones and from Stones to Pickford. Sit deep and hoof it up. Pathetic, never seen anything like it before.

Tuchel either bottled it or too many of the English players were heavily fatigued which guided his decisions on subs. As soon as the equaliser went in England were f**ked.

John Stones on a FREE from Citeh. Maybe he is the experienced Centre back that we need?

He wasn't though was he. He had Rogers, Bellingham and Rice around him but none of them were effective enough.

Yep. Or looking at it another way, as announced to us all by the Captain, the plan having scored the first was to go after the second and push for the win. Ally that comment to the point highlighted by @GarnachoCheese above that the Captain himself had one shot, which i suspect is still more, or comparable to that of Rogers and Bellingham and the question i suppose then is whether to support the defence who were being overrun due to our misfiring attack or replace the attackers with Rashford (himself in and out of form) or Toney who hadn't kicked a ball yet. I don't think any of it is ideal, personally i think it was inevitable because only Anderson, Gordon and to a certain extent Spence had effective games. There were just not enough players affecting the performance unfortunately.

Could have been worse. We should be thankful he didn't bring Raheem Sterling and Eric Dier.

We will sign him for twice the price in 3 years. Why we didnt even go for Sensei on a free baffles me.

He'd rather have all our players camped in the box giving the opposition time to take pop shots, Kane was on his own against Romero and Li5'4ndro 80 yards from goal. Pathetic coward tactics.

The tactics in the final quarter were flawed, inviting the disaster which inevitably followed, we needed to be braver...

Well, maybe Real Madrid will try to buy him, if he has a good final against Spain? The tactics in the final quarter were flawed, inviting the disaster which inevitably followed, we needed to be braver...

Think you nailed it with the negativity in his coaching. I recall far too many times at Chelsea we started with 7-8 defensive minded players. He didn’t start this way, but the more time he spent with us the more he seemed to retract. Some bad tactical decisions and the wrong personnel to call upon. It wasn’t if they scored, but when.

Does it? How?

when you have the massive bottle top Kane upfront. who has only won things in a one horse division, dont expect to win tournaments. Dont ever expect to win a tournament with a spurs right back in the starting line up. Best thing Delap could have done for England was to rule Spence out of the tournament, he even missed that opportunity.

You dont take a player of Spence's ability to the World Cup if there are other players who are much better at the job available. Spence had to recover from his own mistake and giving the ball away to make that goal-saving tackle. He also was on the side that kept losing Messi in the second half. He's, at best, a dogsh*t player who has pace; that is it, he was abysmal for Spurs last season. TBH, last night's performance didnt shock me, weve seen the best and worst of Tuchel at the bridge so last night's result wasnt suprising. you dont defend a game with a 1-0 lead for 30+ minutes.

I had a little time to think it over Had a little room to work it out I found a little courage to call it off I've had a little time

All the UK sportswriters are asking do we stick with Gareth Tuchel, or do we move on.

More importantly, Egnatia Rrogozhinë v Petrocub in the first round of Champions League qualifying finished 6-1 to Egnatia Rrogozhinë, 7-1 on aggregate. No dancing in the street of Hîncești.

lol

Yeah you can now be stressed watching Chelsea instead.

Gingers are far more likely to go on and become radicalised converts... just saying

I think from the start there was just some baffling squad decisions. Not taking one of Gibbs-White or Wharton but Jordan Henderson goes. Not taking a Cole Palmer, Rio Ngumoha or Phil Foden, regardless of form when you know Saka isn’t fit and Madueke is starting games. Then when Tino drops out, calling Trev up instead of giving Trent the nod. We know he’s a defensive liability but when you’re making the whole squad identity around set pieces having someone who excels in that area would’ve been ideal. It just seems to be a squad picked with an extremely negative outlook. Don’t have to deal with this International bo**ocks for another 2 years now thankfully. It’s far too stressful. Proper chance missed.

Little Man Syndrome. Argentinian. Ginger. Literally 0 redeeming features. Cancel the purchase.

The second video showing Barco running onto the pitch to celebrate the goal in front of the England players makes him look like the twat. He looks like some d**khead schoolboy interrupting a grown-up's match. A clip round the ear is what he deserved. They're such an unlikable team. I hope they get destroyed by the Spanish.

I think you should read between the lines, in case you need it when you are older.
