the emerging consensus on England and Tuchel, that he made horribly defensive substitutions and threw away the game, is completely wrong. I honestly think it's because most (maybe all) English/British pundits want to blame Tuchel as an outsider rather than face up to how the game actually played out.

the entirety of the game after Gordon's goal was dominated by Argentina. but note the first substitution was 17 minutes later on 72 minutes and the *really* defensive ones were on 82 minutes.

in the 17 minutes before the first sub, Argentina could and arguably should have scored 3 times. in the 10 minutes before the next, they could and should have scored twice more. in that interval, England did absolutely nothing. they had already given up. they strung virtually zero passes together and I don't think touched the ball in the opposition half (never mind box).

I think that Tuchel realized this (because he is an excellent coach) and *correctly* concluded they needed to shore up or Argentina would indeed score 3 or more before long.

one idea I've seen is Tuchel should have thrown on the likes of Rashford and Watkins (who are fast, basically) to better press from the front and give England a route to play out. but imagine he had done this, England became *even more pathetically open* and Argentina had won 4-1. the criticism would have been even worse than now, and would have called for *exactly what he did*.

so, no, he did what he had to do as he watched his team completely collapse for no reason.

and *it could have worked*! after the second set of subs, Argentina had one very long-distance shot and the two goals. but the two goals were a result of astoundingly lazy lack of pressing, not tactics. the chances before were getting sliced apart in open play. the chances after were pathetic individual discipline.

so, no, the substitutions did not throw away the game and Tuchel did not get it wrong. England epically shat the bed, should have ended up losing 4-1, and Tuchel attempted the only viable route to holding on and still winning. it is no way his fault that Bellingham couldn't be bothered closing down Fernandez and Spence couldn't be bothered closing down Messi, amongst the other 5 goals they could have conceded after giving up.

English pundits want somebody to blame, so they blame Tuchel (who conveniently isn't English). what they ought to do is face up to this being one of the most astonishing psychological capitulations in World Cup history.

@ItsTinnakorn Couldn't care less about Orange now
Tbf I still believe I carried the Original Orange Ideology, and these guys don't gave me that vibe anymore. I'd still vote for them so that they can do something but they're not being distinct anymore.

Chatchartism is up the charts for me rn.

@MtutdBlog Felt our shirt will look cool with that
Also, if that brand is what we thought
I remember his brand is spreading in England now, as a certain trophy Arsenal blew.

@MtutdBlog A bright light in all the stupidity
But I don't know will somebody snatch him

Tbf if I were an ambitious Thai League club I'd raid Muangthong now.

[datkpguy @datkpguy]

@MtutdBlog It could happen if West Ham still fumbled and Tottenham didn't do the Muangthong and blew it in the last match.

[datkpguy @datkpguy]

@MtutdBlog being a med student, I got the idea
And I have to admit, I'm in Stage 2 and 3 altogether rn

Who should be held responsible, and the bargaining of where shall we go.
I didn't really felt that despair yet (it still felt suck how our run of form ended like that)

@RY9MTUTD (Ps. Again, we still await the rumored announcement from the club)

[datkpguy @datkpguy]

@RY9MTUTD But again, we don't know. Let's wait for now while thinking different solutions for this club's dilemma.

[datkpguy @datkpguy]

@MtutdBlog Agreed.
