Hawkswood

I dont think it makes people mad, there have been some solid, reasonable reasons why, that have been stated above. Yes, he always had his plus points but, but Im in the against camp here, mainly because I feel he was a large part of the problem we faced for many seasons, ie: rotating the ball and essentially going nowhere. I believe he would be detrimental to the side for that reason and a few more that were, as I say, mentioned before.

Shame that. Weve been quite decent

THB

Thought trusting the process would come first

I agree but would take it one step further. Let's wait until the end of the transfer window before we smash the place up in anger and disappointment.

Yeah I always rated him and was surprised he dropped down the pecking order so much.

Just my personal opinion, Im very happy with 30m for Charles. If I had to pick my best starting eleven last season he wouldn't have been in it So chuffed to get that much money for him. Again, just my personal opinion and certainly nothing against him. And also, Che Adams back here ? Jo fking way. Some people have got very short memories on just how average he was. I really feel we can do better than that, and before some smart arse asks me who, I dont know. Its not my job.

Sorry if Ive missed this but why has is taken this long for this to happen. Why not as soon as the league finished so we could plan ?

If you insist but youll need to supply your own lube. Need to meet me halfway.

Ah no, I skipped that. Too obvious.

OMG I can't stand him. He actually makes me want to leave the room. He says the most blindingly obvious statements you can possibly think of. So thick and I haven't heard one insightful original comment from him. Glad youre pleased though 😁

I watched that with my Argentinian wife who was actually so embarrassed about what went on in that game she was actually relieved that Spain won it. When it was 0 - 0 she said how ashamed she was at their approach to the match.

Agreed, nothing in the game till we scored, then Scaloni made some great tactical changes that we simply couldnt cope with. Anyway, as always its about perception.

Even before we had all the defenders on they were swarming all over us. He had to make a choice and made the decision that has worked in the past. We simply dont have the type of player that has the same type of technical ability that the argies or Spanish have who can take a touch, find space and release pressure. Again, just how i see it.

Gonna make myself unpopular here but I dont necessarily blame Tuchel for the defeat. The harsh reality is that we dont sit on the top table of footballing nations. Argentina were just very very impressive in that last 35 minutes and showed what champions are made off and not forgetting it also helps when you have arguably the greatest footballer of all time in your side. A player that elevates every person around you. After the goal they took it up a level that we couldnt deal with and you can deconstruct the situation and find this or that wrong with the minutae of game, but fair play to Scaloni for changing the style and tactics for that last hour. He got one over Tuchel there in fairness but we just couldn't get the ball off them and I could see why he made those subs. And if Argentina could do that to us then Spain would simply use us a plaything in the final. Anyway, thats how I saw it.
