Just sat back and sat back. There was no other likely outcome to that tactic.

Awful isn’t it? You can get away with it against poorer teams, but it’s suicide against a decent side. We’re so deep we completely vacated the space Fernandez wants to shoot from. He’d already given us two warnings. And now we’ve handed them the momentum.

Kane has been dead on his feet - should have been off 10 minutes ago for some one fresh - Fernandez taking pot shots all game and they have left him unmarked again - in Trouble now

Games is gone, we have 6 defenders.

They'll score again, we won't hold out for penalties.

Immediate resignation from Tuchel, England have been awful this tournament.

Yeah, we’re b*ggered now.

Edit- and there it is. If there were people on Mars, they’d have seen this coming. We’re an utter mess. 6 defenders can’t stop a cross and can’t defend a cross. Terrible tactical feck ups from Tuchel.

Trying to shut out this lot with 30 mins to go. Absolutely pathetic tactics.

Not been awful by any means. Last 30 mins has been a tactical disaster but pretending the whole tournament has been like it makes you look like an idiot

6 defenders ffs - bizarre stuff given he’s pretty much got everything right this tournament.

I always thought he was an unhinged ego-maniac who gets away with a lot of bad decisions because he always has top players to work with, and this tournament has shown no different really.

Wasted a generational chance by trying to hold on for a continental style 1-0. Take your scorer and creativity off and try to defend with 9 at the back.

Silly man, hopefully he will argue himself out of the job.

It’s been pretty poor for a lot of it in fairness. This last 5 mins sums us up. Get up the pitch and we repeatedly can’t beat a man at the near post for a simple cross under no pressure. We’ve done well to get this far, but have reached our limit. It was a struggle against Norway.

Considering how dangerous basically every Argentina ball into the box was, our crosses at the end looked Sunday League in comparison.

To a significant degree, yes, but the defending was abysmal for both Argentina goals too

Is it any better than Southgate, who everybody has agreed was tactical ally inept. We've only played again middling teams where that tactic has worked, it shouldn't be the case that we were having to play like that against those teams.

Isn't that where they earn their money? Analysing the game and making good tactical decisions. Just sat back... invited more pressure... Argentina getting closer and closer... and kept on bringing on defenders.

Why didn't we try and play football after we scored and try and keep hold of the ball, draw in fouls, frustrate the Argentinans and maybe even look for a second.

Argentina... worthy winners because we just gave them the momentum.

Surely Tuchel saw what we did.

Exactly. Tuchel seemed to have forgotten all about the tactic known as "the best form of defence is attack".

Why 0 minutes of Saka in that game, was he injured?

We limited them to 2 shots and 0 on target in the first half, got the goal, then changed what was working. Crazy. So disappointing to go out when you play under the potential you've demonstrated in that game. Really feels like a missed opportunity.

The only good thing for me was that at least we didn't lose through some godawful refereeing or VAR decision - now that really would have rankled - but through our poorer play/tactics. For which I feel sad, but it's easier to deal with - a shrug of the shoulders and move on (perhaps with a new England manager, but I'm sure Tuchel will learn from that).
