I think tuchel might do well for us but again he might not , boring solid teams seem to do well in tournaments as england have shown before... surprised england fans are arguing against it considering we had that at our last couple of tournaments

Why would you be surprised? You spent most of the past seven years moaning about boring England victories!

If you were to pick a tournament type manager who was available at the time , tuchel would have been up there wouldnt he .

As I said in the end the performances from Southgates england were pretty drab and poor compared to earlier on in his tenure

We got some poor results too

Tuchel was the best manager available if we judge his record in the club game. The potential problem is, we don’t know how this translate to the international game that is slower paced than the club game.

With Carsley, two European Championships is exactly the pedigree of manager we should go for if Tuchel does not extend his contract.

Southgate himself recognised it was the right time to move on, just like I imagine Robins now recognises it was the right time at CCFC. I also wasn't among those arguing for Tuchel to get the job in his place.

I've made no secret of what type of football I think will be more successful and entertaining and any manager who goes along with that and is effective at getting these instructions across in the short timeframes you get in international management would be fine with more.

Just sick to the back teeth of slow tempo sideways tippy tappy shite.

In fairness, it’s difficult to play fast paced football when your opposition teams will put 9-10 players behind the ball. I’m hoping Tuchel’s tactical nous will get us through the latter rounds of tournaments.

One of the reasons international football is so boring is because the quality of teams is so broad. The future of international football is to expand the Euro Nations League to supplant the qualification process somehow.

I only went to the game yesterday because I’m an ETSC member, there’s no genuine interest in going to that game.

Quick pass and move football deals with that as the opposition has no time to get set. What’s a certainty is that if you slowly shuffle the ball around, you will not get through because you’ll have everyone bedded in in front of you.

Yesterday there were some v disappointing performances. Eze really didn’t stake a claim, Madueke was average (good for the goal) and Rashford was awful and his stupid showboating pass that went out for a GK summed up his performance to be honest. If Tuchel really thinks Rashford is an important ingredient to this ‘new’ England, we’re in trouble. I’d leave him out the next squad unless his form picks up for Barcelona.

Against a team like Andorra or Latvia, their primary goal is to limit the scoreline. Albania and Serbia will at least try to counter quite often.

Seems there is a fascination with wingers who completely slow the play down. Rashford was doing the same.

I genuinely have no idea how Rashford is being picked.

I’m not going to get drawn into the past but with respect, you got what you wanted and as of right now it’s not looking good.

Tuchel should be a better manager (than Carsley and Southgate) but think we wrote of Carsley too soon to be honest. The style of football was good under him in the interim period.

We haven’t had a ‘full’ strength squad yet so want to resist the temptation to press the panic button.

Cant disagree with this. My heart is saying we should’ve stuck with Carsley (if he fancied it), let him bring all the kids through and even if it didn’t pan out at the World Cup it would be set up for the next manager. My concern with Tuchel is if he just takes a very short term approach (WTF is Hendo still doing in the squad) but I suppose we can only really judge him after the World Cup.

We’ve got some great young players and like the look of Anderson (thought he was quality for U21 games I saw in the summer), would also like to see Wharton play when he’s fit.

Ps It was time for Southgate to go but he did get some OTT disrespect. This is being highlighted further by what Tuchels served up so far. Early days though

Fuck me.

If this is his level of innovative thought we should have just gone with Pulis at this point.

Tuchel's assistant Anthony Barry has written a dissertation focused on throw-ins in the Premier League.

Barry watched more than 60 hours of footage from the 2018-19 Premier League season and analysed every one of the 16,380 throw-ins taken.

One of his conclusions was that throwing the ball "laterally or backwards can increase throw-in success rates in comparison to throwing the ball forwards".
