Gloucester Saint

He’s many strengths but never been quick and needs that around him. Had it on the bench but didn’t use it. Conceded up to 25 yards, edge of our D and the wide areas as well with all of the centre backs on and said ‘take your aim’. And they did. 2 goals and two on the woodwork, Pickford saved well twice. Defence v Attack and with no deterrent on the counter attack, their midfield and defenders piled on too.

When you’ve got Saka and Watkins, one a PL winner and the other a European champion last term, and you don’t use them and bring on Burn, O’Reilly and James, you’ve just said to Argentina ‘don’t worry about tracking back on the counter, we’ve given up, park around our 25 yard areas and overload with crosses, runners and Messi weaving patterns, Harry didn’t have a prayer.

If you’re paid the extra £ms to not panic like Southgate did at the crunch moments, and you panic even more, than yes

Forgot about Watkins, we also had Saka sat there as well. Not as if that was the only option he had. Awful, no future with Tuchel.

Saints find even more ways to fuck up, it wasn’t even on the pitch last season. Some gormless twat underneath a tree.

Sorry, I meant the manager ran out of ideas, don’t think the players did. I’d have put Mainoo and Saka on, we needed pace and energy at that stage, stretch the game again, But all the eggs in one basket with the 541 and you can’t undo it again that late on.

Fuck football. English cricket in an awful state as well after sacking McCullum too late - another one trick, overpaid pony. How much is Tuchel paid? Got Saka, PL winner, on the bench. Very good v Norway. Why the fuck hasn’t he used him to spin in behind and help Kane with somebody working off him? I don’t blame the defenders or Pickford, they will unpick the lock if you drop that deep that early.

And used to winning the biggest prizes = belief.

Ran out of ideas after 70 minutes and unlike the Azteca, Argentina had the quality to put world class deliveries in and test Pickford.

@egg dog could. He hasn’t got any claws now and England still lost. Poor thing.

That straight long ball was Exhibit A.

FFS shit crossing. They’ve also executed their skills better.

Saka is equally dangerous and we haven’t used him.

Fuck football. Spygate then this.

That’s 100% on Tuchel.

Saka is now fit and played well v Norway. Similarly odd. Bellingham levy on his own breaking there, doing two jobs with about 5 centre backs on.

Been too deep but he needs an option to spin in behind him and there isn’t one. Manager has got this wrong. 6 defenders on.

I was calling for it for minutes. He’ll try and get to ET and change it but I don’t think we will get the opportunity.

Get Saka on FFS.

Attack v Defence. Right decision Pickford if you’re not sure. But that was inevitable. Too deep, too early. Very difficult to pick up the momentum now.

Reece James was excellent v Norway in CM when he came on. Rice had given everything he had.

You have your wish.

Wake up Thomas, get some pace on with Saka. There are going to be gaps opening up because they are throwing the whole Howdens at us, not just the sink.

Bring on Saka to spin behind them.

Offside but I though that was 1-1. Far too deep here. Need outlets short and long. Don’t want to see Kane and Bellingham on the edge of our own D.
