Shades of 1936.

Don't forget Fernandez. They play at the edge of the rulebook and often ignore the spirit of the game.

Elusive

That's the crucial question determining the success of the season ahead. If Charles and Jander go, we need comparable quality in return; not easy. If THB goes, the task for Spors to find a good enough replacement is also difficult. Accommodating Stewart or finding his replacement, while important are third tier priorities in my book. Stewart staying brings the ever present injury risk, while finding a good enough replacement is not easy, since before Larin, our last good striker recruitment was Danny Ings.

Fearful

Yet Tuchel's reaction to the passive collective mindset was to consolidate it with defensive substitutions. Tuchel was culpable and trashed his reputation tonight.

Tuchel has to take much blame for the tactical approach at 1-0. Way too early to put up the shutters and defend so deep with those defensive substitutions. Sure Argentina lifted a gear but the momentum and space was handed to them. In the end it was a meek and avoidable surrender.

Mellow

Ridiculously deep England. It's not the 89th minute. Courting an equaliser.

Happy

You can still get it. Great for polishing your Doc Martens. Comes in a yellow tin these days - available from Amazon if you don't mind fattening Bezos' wallet.
