    I think he’s taking a fair amount of inspiration firm Mandani, in that signals and visual cues can tell a story. As well as easier ‘quick wins’ that in reality don’t make a huge amount of difference to people’s lives (because the bigger structural things take years to solve) but do help people...

    Yeah…honestly I made the mistake of under estimating Spain. I was so confident that England could beat anyone. My only concern was France, which I thought was a coin flip, but everyone else I thought we had too much physicality for them. And when you combine that with the fact that it looked...

    I agree with you 100% on Southgate.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I don’t think it’s beyond tactics or subs, but I do think it’s gone too far in that direction (in the country at large) and not enough consideration applied to executing better on the pitch. And I think it’s often spoken of as if doing X or Y change would have made a difference, and not enough...

    My point was that if we can’t accept Tuchel’s words at face value then I literally can’t debate with you. Because we just have a fundamentally different perception of what those words meant. It’s not to deny you your opinion. I have just read Kane’s interview with The Athletic. ““The last 30...

    But where has this come from? It’s never been Tuchel’s profile. I think he picked a side to bring ‘the best’ of the Premier League, which as we’ve seen in how our clubs have dominated in Europe has been largely because of a physical advantage. I think it’s a strong thesis to try and apply that...

    They already didn’t care about our wingers because they moved 6 into their front line even when we had Gordon on. They seized the initiative and imposed their will. Maybe Rashford is fresher and it forces them back a bit, equally maybe it doesn’t work and Rashford ends up on the floor trying to...

    What I don’t understand is how you think he didn’t give them the permission to be further up? He’s literally given interviews saying this was the case, after the semi and after Croatia. Clearly it’s a repeated problem he and his team were concerned about, Again if you just chose to believe he...

    He can bring Rashford or Saka on, but they would have to be willing to stay up the pitch and be an outlet. If he didn’t think that was going to happen, I see why he didn’t do it. They had Gordon on for a good while after the goal, and he was defending. Rodgers was back. He was telling the team...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Don’t know how many times I can say it…I’m not suggesting that Tuchel had nothing to do with it or didn’t play his part, or couldn’t have done something different. I am saying the players have escaped seemingly any scrutiny whatsoever of their part in it! 3 defenders (you mean centre backs?)...

    I think it’s a really interesting study in how narratives take hold. And there is no one on any podcast, media, tv show etc that is incentivised to really offer a different perspective. In the mainstream, it has been decided where the fault lies, and that’s that. To the point where there was a...

    I think this is very much a player driven collapse. I’m not saying it was all them, and I’m not trying to say they deserve pelters from the population, but I do think there is a collective, systemic mentality issue that is being under discussed. And I think people aren’t listening to what Tuchel...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I accept what I saw perfectly, I’m just saying that I think the way the narrative has cemented in the national psyche is extreme, in one direction, and not sufficiently taking into account the range of factors that influenced what we saw. I think frankly the country on the whole has had an...

    Yes exactly, Tuchel has explicitly said he didn’t ask the players to do that. And yet the whole country seems to believe he did. So does it follow that everyone thinks Tuchel is bare faced lying?
