German managing England ha. But I'd take it over Southgate
Why the hell would anyone think Tuchel would play a more entertaining brand of football than Southgate. The players you have at international level are the best you can muster from a bad pool. He couldn't play interesting football when he got to choose who was in the squad.
Replacing Kane with Rashford is just laughable. Yes Kane missed but if there was another pen he'd be the player you bet on scoring.
Rashford is utter pony. Always has been always will. One foot and one dimensional. But he's had a tough old time the poor typical low resilience Millennial. It pains me that dross like that get's a shout for England up top with a run of about 8 half decent games. When you look back at the players that banged goals in for their clubs and couldn't get in the first team years ago. We are struggling for forwards, not an area we usually struggle.
Will be interesting to see if he gets raked over the coals after his miss last night, will he get blasted like Saka did with his penalty miss in the euros final??
Depends on your definition, everywhere I look online he's getting slaughtered. No more of less than Saka, other than Saka had some about his skin colour.
I think too much will be made of this whole failing, but the team is filled with players that in previous years would have struggled to make 22 based on club form. People banging on about Sterling shouldn't be there and "Grealish our most creative player only gets 30 seconds". In what world is Grealish creative? He's been crap since joining City, was looking good as a big fish in a polluted pond but even in the last Euros was all hype and little end product. If he's a future player of England then they truly are in trouble.
But you only have to look at Maguire who has looked reasonable again, the standard of international football is laughable. No one has looked good, but they won't when you are used to seeing CL football or the PL squads worth near Billions. So many of the players haven't delivered despite hype.
Having lived through a **** load of international managers I'm not sure a new one makes much difference. We have tried loads of methods including expensive foreign managers with very little difference. I don't know why a big club manager would take the job anyway. Even Howe, why would he leave the Newcastle project to watch Foden and Mount play at about 50% of the form seen while playing with better quality around them. Everyone thinks they're the England manager but I don't think there's a different result if we started Grealish instead of X or Y. Apart from Bellingham I don't think anyone makes a case for being such class they have to start.
