ITS ALL ABOUT HIM

His cult of personality (tuuuunnnne - Living Colour were ace) is so large it has its own gravity.

Sometimes it is, but I don't think this was. Sure he took a moment for himself but he's fully embraced the team from the pictures I'm seeing.

We're British, we love to hate a winner.

I guess so. A second international trophy to add to his collection.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

From what I could see he was the only player who didn't go and celebrate with his team mates in the moment.

Tuchel about to get the full on English press treatment

 

[Tredman]

Well deserved

 

[big mean bunny]

I have only seen since about 70 seconds before the 2nd goal. But Henderson hasn't given the performance I wanted after advocating for him for ages. Can't do much with the 3rd but the 2nd one was really poor.

Tuchel about to get the full on English press treatment

I'm going with the fixture schedule here, stupid stupid time to play friendlies. Lot of players also that have one eye on not getting injured for the club world cup. Hell of a lot of Chelsea players in there wasn't there. Tuchel too Chelsea heavy surprise surprise.

Right, just so you know, i intend to call him mr tickle until he stops being a joke.
He's taking the piss, he's having a laugh, but i bet i'm not the only one who doesn't find him funny. Andorra and Senegal, one, the 147th team in europe, the other, a friendly, and rather than try out the newer younger fringe players, he runs a pensioners outing.
We know it's the end of the season, and we know the players are knackered, we know the club world cup starts saturday, with most of our top players involved in that, so yes, lets put all our old knackers yard osses, in the grand national and alert the glue factory
So i reiterate, thomas tickle is a fucking clown.

I fully expect never to see Henderson, Burn and Walker never play for England again. Lewis-Skelly sorry every time I watch him he’s a walking red card or horribly out of place.
Cant press and can’t play out from the back.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Thank you for letting us know you intend to call him Thomas Tickle. I can sleep soundly tonight.

 

[Sniffer]

Walker is done, MGW has to score his opportunity, equaliser should have been allowed, Madueke plays a timeless game that doesn’t involve teammates but a thoroughly deserved win for Senegal.

 

[Tredman]

No idea why Lewis-Skelly is playing.

 

[Sniffer]

Why has the World Cup qualifier between Finland and Poland been suspended?

 

[Kenny]

Why has the World Cup qualifier between Finland and Poland been suspended?

Medical emergency in the stands

 

[Sniffer]

Thanks Kenny

I’d say about 8/9 players in that squad shouldn’t be being picked again.
Replacing them with better quality should be easy also.

 

[White Wolf]

Think I have seen enough already tbh. Tuchel's tactics and selections are not very good. There was a decent inheritance in terms of squad from Carsley as he blooded new players and kept some deadwood like Walker out. Now Walker is back in, as is Henderson, the Southgate error of not playing a proper left-back is continuing with Lewis-Skelly who isn't up to standard at all. Chalobah was awful, Burn also shouldn't be selected.

It's a very possession-based style without much tempo or intensity, I don't think he will manage to coach anything much better in only four international windows before the World Cup or quickly enough learn some of the players being chosen are not good enough.

Senegal played brilliantly, excellent performance by them. Jackson was very good, Diarra their midfielder from Lyon was excellent. They had a lot of chances, if they were more clinical it could have been 6-1.

 

[jd1981]

As said if all are fit you can improve that squad depth and balance with ease.
If he’s as knowledgeable as we’re all told he is then that should be the last we see of a good chunk of the squad that was selected this time around.
As we sit now some very worrying yet repetitive mistakes made by so many England managers before him.
Look Gaz had some awful friendly/ nations league results but often had us tournament ready 4 times on the trott.

Just found the Brazil game is live here on SBS. Might as well settle down and watch it I suppose.
