Elliot Anderson after England scored

[Ross Gregory @rossgregory9]

I said last night in the midst of the emotion that Tuchel had to go. I should know by now it wasn’t the best time to be making snap judgements like that.

Thought it over in the cold light of day today with less emotion.

And he still has to go.

[Kire @Kiref1234]

@AdamMcKola @DougieCritchley Have to be honest, Im having a hard time to name 3 candidates worse than Tuchel

[Adam McKola @AdamMcKola]

@DougieCritchley England were poor all tournament. People just had heads in the sand because they were progressing. He should get the boot.

[Kire @Kiref1234]

Funny how he signed for Liverpool when Mourinho was United manager and Di Maria left the summer before

[HK @HKFinalThird]

Manchester United called Sadio Mané before Liverpool... here's why he turned them down.

"Van Gaal called me. He said, "Mane, how are you? What are you doing? I want you to come to Manchester United."

I said, "Really?" He said, "Yeah."

I said, "Okay, I'm talking to my agent. We'll see what's best."

He told me, "I know you're a good player. You can help the team, and we can help you become an even better player."

Then I asked him:

"You have Depay, Rooney, Di María and Van Persie... where am I going to play?"

Because for me, I wanted to play.

He said: "I know your talent. If you train well and impress, you'll play. But we also have other very good players."

I wasn't convinced by his explanation.

A few days later, Klopp called me.

I feel we don't rate him enough sometimes because wtf is this??😭😭😭

Like he's holding Tielemans off while nut megging Onana

[Eliot Fowle @EliotFowle]

Craig Hope character assassinations are back it seems… first it was Jude now it’s Kobbie, wonder why? 🤷‍♂️

[Michael Graham @Capt_Fishpaste]

Imagine leaving players like Phil Foden, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Adam Wharton, and Cole Palmer at home then complaining England don't have the DNA to keep the ball 🙄

[Dale O'Donnell @ODonnellDale]

Didn't give Mainoo a single minute of action at the World Cup, but complains about players not having the DNA required to keep possession...

[FergieStandards @FergieStandards]

How is a Manchester United player still a scapegoat even though HE DIDN’T PLAY

[Nobody @dharnyyoung]

Mainoo is the next scapegoat. And he's never said or done A SINGLE THING wrong. I wish terrible terrible things on you guys.

[FPL Frasier @FPLfrasier]

English media is crazy. They are targeting a player who got exactly ZERO minutes all tournament for their failure. They aren’t targeting the manager or the star players in Kane and Bellingham, or senior players in Stones and Rice. But they aren’t targeting targeting a young kid who got ZERO minutes all tournament.

[Kire @Kiref1234]

This really stinks of Amorim, Tuchel saying players do not have the right DNA, just to tickle his own ego, he left out players that fit that profle aswell, but was worried he could not manage them, never understood the hype around him.

Under-fire Thomas Tuchel criticises the DNA of England's players after World Cup exit - as Three Lions boss claims 'no structure in the world could have helped us' against Argentina https://t.co/uzgzLqjHx8

[United Pride @UtdPride]

This is the Elliot Anderson Thomas Tuchel benched Kobbie Mainoo for?

Ladies and Gentlemen take a look at A £130m player🤮❌️

[OPE @QuadriOPE18]

Remember when Mainoo was running England’s midfield under Southgate? ESPN summed it up perfectly: “The Earth is covered by 30% water, the rest is covered by Kobbie Mainoo.”

Tuchel naturally leans towards midfielders like Rice and Anderson because they bring relentless energy, intensity and box-to-box running, which suits many high-tempo games. But football isn’t one-dimensional.

There are matches where control matters more than chaos, where the ability to dictate tempo, receive under pressure, and keep possession is more valuable than simply covering distance. That’s where Mainoo stands out.

Mainoo’s greatest strength isn’t endless running; it’s making the game look slower than everyone else sees it. Every top squad needs profiles like that just as much as it needs runners.He deserves some minutes.

[Scott Patterson @R_o_M]

You’ve got Mainoo on the bench as an unused sub but you’re complaining about not being able to keep the ball 🤡

[Simon Stone @sistoney67]

Knowing how good Kobbie Mainoo is at playing in tight spaces and progressing the ball up the pitch, it feels a total waste he didn’t feature for a single minute in this campaign when England only played well in fleeting moments. The Mexico win was fabulously defiant but overall I didn’t see the improvement in game management Thomas Tuchel was brought in for.

[SCOOP. @AcademyScoop]

12% possession between Gordon’s opener and Martínez’ winner.

If only there was a player on the bench who never loses the ball in tight spaces, defends brilliantly in a low block and acts like a pressure valve for his team when their backs are up against a wall.

[Simon Stone @sistoney67]

Wayne Rooney talking a lot of sense. When you are winning, keep your foot on the pedal. Don’t sit back against one of the best players ever whose greatest strength in control and balance around a penalty area. Inevitable outcome.

[UnitedMuppetiers @Muppetiers]

2.5 years later I’m still baffled.
