@BURGERS_99 @InvisibleLCFC It’s so much more than just “absolutely, just go to games and get priority” when it’s 1 point per game with brackets starting at 600 odd points😂

[Daniel Abrahams @DanAbrahams77]

No…

It wasn’t Thomas Tuchel’s substitutions…

Anthony Gordon scored in the 55th minute. The (already) infamous substitutions were made in the 82nd minute.

England had a measly 12% possession from the moment the ball hit the Argentinian net. It wasn’t the substitutions that made the difference (although perhaps they didn’t help)…it was the mindset of the England players after they scored. And this happens to England in major tournaments again and again and again and again…

So what happened? Performance anxiety…

“Don’t be the player to make a mistake”
“Let’s just see this through”

These aren’t thoughts. They’re feelings. Feelings in the pit of the stomach. Feelings that cascade through the whole body. Feelings that generate hesitancy, inhibition…and in the words of Thomas Tuchel post game, passiveness

A Low Intent - energy-back. Arguably the biggest killer in high performance sport is a drop in intent.

A couple of months ago I had the honour of being on The Overlap. As I described to Gary, Roy, Ian and Scholesy - “A drop in intent can make great players look very average.” Last night, a drop in intent made the England players, great players, look shockingly poor - an energy-back negatively impacting awareness, anticipation, decision-making, physicality, technical and tactical play.

The same happened against Spain in the Euros final 2024 and against Italy in the Euros final against Italy in 2020. And in countless tournaments prior.

Energy-back vs Energy-forward…

Argentina - energy-forward. Singing their national anthem with gusto. As aggressive in the press and in duels as you’re going to see. Slightly bending the rules. Being nasty…in their opponents’ faces…

…competing with so much passion and adoration for each other and with so much want and will and determination that there’s no room for anxieties (fears, uncertainties, doubts)…

No room…

This is hard to accomplish. Brutally, disgustingly hard. Phenomenally hard. Why? Because striving to play with energy-forward under pressure is so metabolically costly. It requires enormous will-power and tenacity…which needs an enormous amount of energy. It feels horrible. It feels exhausting. That’s why so many teams fail to deliver under pressure.

No, it wasn’t Tuchel’s substitutions. It’s a failure to address a national characteristic - a socio-cultural and bio-psychological tendency to play with fear (energy-back) under pressure.

This needs to be tackled now for the 2028 Euros and the 2030 World Cup. Plans need to be put in place…mental frameworks need to be laid down.

Attention
Intensity
Intent

England (like all nations and like all club teams) need mental frameworks that help players to compete with High Attention; Optimal Intensity; and (most importantly) High Intent under pressure.

And there is a behavioural template that shines like a beacon through the fog of complexity in the world game - the Argentinian National Team…

…they are, quite simply, the warriors of international football

Great day to remind people that Reform don't believe in climate change and are already scrapping climate targets in councils they control.

“I think we are the worst run club in the country.”

Jordan represents Leicester on @WeAreTheOverlap

As always, he speaks eloquently with knowledge and passion.

If the club were clever they would speak with him. Sadly, he speaks with too much honesty for this regime.

[Kopping It: LFC’s #1 Podcast @C304TAG]

This was supposed to be our greatest ever season, and we totally bottled it.

Humiliated by Aston Fucking Villa.

Some of us spent £2k on flights and hotels in Istanbul.

Get this fat cunt out of my club!!!!

[Dave Bott @senorbott]

If it takes us another 20 years to get back to the Premier League, it doesn't bother me. The Premier League isn't the be all and end all.

All I want is a team/club to be proud of. To watch a group of players that represent the fans. Its all I ask

[Louie Maisey @maiseylouie80]

Wasn't about the performance tonight.
Couldn't give a toss.
Tonight was about letting this club know what we thought of them.
Fair f**ks for every single boo.
As for the clappers who purposely 'tried' to drown out the boos..unlucky..& shame on you.

[FosseHub @FosseHub]

🚨Susan Whelan was a respected figure and left the club last season with the final straw allegedly for her resistance over a sponsorship deal with BC Game. [@JPercyTelegraph]🎖️

[Jason Bourne @JasonBourne1986]

Bringing Winks on is a disgrace. Rowett hasn't got a clue. A club that has no standards and accountability. This is exhibit A. And what is Rowett thinking when they're in a positive position too? It's turned things sour again.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBourne1986]

Why are you clapping them off? Seriously? Why does this group of players deserve applause?

[Mr Geoff Peters @mrgeoffpeters]

To the owner, senior management and players at Leicester City.

You've got exactly what you deserve.
It's been an utter shitshow.
Gutless, spineless, rudderless.
Hang your heads in shame.
Dereliction of duty.

[Charlie @CharlieThew91]

@LCFC Fuck off

[Unite for Change - LCFC @change_lcfc]

Players don’t want to be here.

They’re scrambling to get out the door.

Culture is broken.

A complete collapse in standards.

Recruitment has failed unequivocally.

Dish out promotions to the execs that oversaw this.

Call for closeness via a pre-recorded interview in Thailand.

Blame the fans.

League One beckons. We’ll still be here.

Can we protest yet?
