Jesus, 6 defenders on the pitch. you expect that if you're watching a non league side in the fa cup v a league 1 side or something, not when you've got saka, rashford etc on the bench. We play football we win that game. |  |

I wouldn't even call that pragmatic, it's a whole new level imo. I'm actually in shock from that. |  |

It was quite odd wasn’t it. And this is in a WC where small teams have had a go and got results. But we lacked the bottle and believe to continue to try and play and looked smaller than those small teams. A very weird end to the tournament, but not unexpected given he’d done the same against Mexico and Norway. |  |

I thought that was the Southgate way. So to be 1-0 up against Argentina never thought be even worse than Southgate but Tuchel managed it. Another opportunity gone, English players certainly don't have the mental ability to win like Argentina or Germany ( when they have a half decent side ), but it doesn't help when we appoint managers who enforce these sort of tactics. |  |

No mobility up front at all as an outlet. Wrong number 9 completely for that scenario. Should have got Toney on after 75. |  |

I know i've made a point about Kane and I know he was involved in the goal tonight, but we've got to start using other strikers in some of our qualifiers and other games, we need to find an england without kane in it otherwise we never seem to trust others when they are needed. |  |

| Really hope bellingham calls out tuchel on 22:29 - Jul 15 with 1156 views | Swansea_Blue | Joe Hart nails the post match analysis: “I saw no patterns of play that would have allowed us to keep possession (in response to Xxx saying we should have built on the goal). 100% this. That’s why we’ve never quite clicked and why we’ve had people saying maybe the next game is when we see a complete performance. That’s why we’ve had to rely heavily on Kane and Bellingham to get us out of trouble. That’s why Spain can cut their way through any team without breaking sweat. And that’s the difference. |  |

Kane is not the right player in that situation. Agree. |  |

This is all true but I don't think we had the quality to keep possession against them either. I think that going toe-to-toe with them still results in the same outcome. |  |

Really? They were not that goid. After the goal we played like a div 2 team v a premier league team trying to hang on. Gave them midfield and attack Awful tactics And no centre mid back up really hurt us Wasted opportunity Argentina are not that good |  | |  |
| Really hope bellingham calls out tuchel on 22:46 - Jul 15 with 908 views | Trequartista | Thing is with Mexico, they didn't get anything on our goal so we carried on with what was working. With Argentina they hit the post twice and had two other gilt-edged chances. I don't know how many warning shots we wanted? Everybody could see it coming except the only person who could change our tactics. [Post edited 15 Jul 22:47]

Agreed. That was my point. We don’t have the patterns of play ingrained that allow us to play through teams or play our way out of trouble. You could see it constantly with players calling for others to move and getting frustrated with each other when nobody showed for a pass or throw in. It’s not a player quality issue, it’s a movement and teamwork issue. England remind me of us last season a bit. Some decent players compared to their peers, but never quite clicking as a team. To be fair, that’s probably the normal position for most teams. You have to be something a bit special to be greater than the sum of your parts. England certainly aren’t. |  |

This. Nail on the head. Cape Verde showed them no respect and were attacking their goal in the final minute. Thats how you do it. |  |
