It’s all about mentality. Look at the difference when Spain beat France, after Spain’s first goal they went for a second and got it and went for the jugular so France couldn’t get back into the game. That is the mentality of an Elite team. England do not have the mentality of an elite team.
This is typical of what the premier league and pundits applaud week after week. Instead of beating teams they encourage managing games. Manage the win. This is what happens when you come up against teams who want to beat you. Plus too scared to sub Kane who has been knackered for the last match and a half. You have Watkins on the bench who does nothing but run. Get him on.
Tuchel does deserve criticism, absolutely!!!!! Playing alright, 1 nil up, Messi not really having much of the ball......so we decide to hamd them the initiative by changing it? What the actual ****?
Gutted
We had it at 1-0
Tuchel got it wrong
Parking the bus for 30mins
Thought he was different
He goes and does exactly what Southgate would have done
Tuchels absolutely bottled it here. NOTHING warranted going 5 at the back. If anything 65/70 mins you swap gordon and rogers for rashford and saka/madueke then set the team up for the counter. We had no outlet, no desire to score, just were expected to absorb 30 minutes worth of defending like we've got prime maldini, cannavaro and nesta at the back. Ridiculous.
From when England scored to Argentina's winner England had 12% possession. If anyone expected to win as a manager choosing to play that defensively then you are clueless. Not only that they stopped even picking up Messi and he was allowed to create chances.
You don't even have to know much about football tactics to know it was an inevitable result when you can't get out of your own box.
Tuchel got it all wrong today. We went 1-0 up and we should’ve kept attacking, instead we sat back and soaked up pressure. Tuchel went full Southgate mode, we played so well in the first half and even the second half until we scored that goal.
Tuchel is such an idiot. Who in their right mind parks the bus for half an hour whilst only being 1-0 up in a world cup semi final against Argentina. I'm so angry with Tuchel
Edit: And to add to that... Tuchel really thought it was a good idea to take off 2 attackers for the defenders. So when Argentina equalised we had less attackers to respond with and kept playing defensive. And I guess Tuchel only remembered Toney and Rashford existed at the very end. Bloody fraud
Game was over after he made the subs. Absolutely spineless from Tuchel, does he think he can win every game by sitting back for the last 30 minutes?
Balls coming into the box and no one closing down, the last 30 mins was like a set piece training drill for Argentina.
