FlaShFTW United States10527 Posts 15 minutes ago #3343 Tuchel's squad selection is still confusing for sure. No Maguire for that calm leadership in the backline if you're set to park the bus, no control by not bringing on Mainoo or calling up Wharton. Too many useless attackers (why the fuck is Toney in this team), not calling up Trent or Hall to unlock low blocks or give the team some more creativity and options off the bench. The players were definitely scared, but when they go in for the water break, Tuchel as the manager either needs to make changes, or give some confidence to the players. He did neither, subbed off Gordon for defense, and the game transpired as it did. The English are far too much in their heads at this point, they always retreat after taking the lead, very Arsenal-esque but Arsenal finally got over the line after City/Pool weren't strong this season. But in a World Cup, you cannot rely on your main rivals to have shitty years to win, there will always be a team that peaking at the right time that will win the tournament. This small club mentality isn't how you win in these knockout formats. Perhaps England just need to wait for this generation to retire so the new generation is fresh with a clean slate to get rid of this negative attitude when taking leads.
