Genuinely can’t believe we play in less than 4 days and we’ve made TWO signings for a brand new manager who came in to push UCL. Like every time I think about it I get so frustrated, puts such a dampening pressure on the season already. Cov & Ipswich have spent more.
Fans know exactly what Gary Neville is, his team up with someone who parades a fake name, fake fandom & built a platform derived from negativity, abuse, hate, vitriol & outright lies. He's thrived when the club hasn't.
Wayne Rooney was the breakout media star of the summer with his work at the World Cup, while his show on the BBC was refreshing for Manchester United fans tired of club legends taking joy in the club's struggles.
This is just disappointing, no other way to put it.
Lewis Hall had made nine appearances for Chelsea and feel like it was similar to Amass: Obviously very talented but some questions over his physicality and whether he could handle the PL… Didn’t even have a loan move like Amass. Sold for £28m plus £7m in add ons and it was still a bad sale from Chelsea
This would be a mental decision.
Carrington's bulking program is about to claim another victim. They did it to Pogba, Lukaku and even Mainoo. Once you start packing on unnecessary muscle, you lose all the agility and explosiveness that made you special in the first place.
There’s a bit of a re-writing of history going on: “England are always like this”
Not really. 1990, 1996, 1998 - they lose on penalties to elite opposition & are genuinely unlucky.
2002, compete against maybe greatest international side ever. Lose 2-1.
2006: penalties.
2012: penalties.
We’ve never seen anything like the last 30 minutes last night. Ever. Certainly not in my lifetime.
12% possession is up there with Iceland as a sporting humiliation.
Thomas Tuchel was appointed for that last 30 minutes. We were told that it would be different from the knockout king and we got tactical cowardice. And if he really has no regrets, he can leave now.

Genuinely one of the most bizarre games I've ever seen. Took the lead and then decided to let the greatest playmaker football has ever seen have the ball for 35 minutes.
Worst part about that for England is you bring a manager in to avoid that specific game. He's literally come in to avoid that exact sort of exit and served up probably the most egregious version of it I can remember.
I went to bed mad and woke up madder.
The last 30 minutes were tactical cowardice in the extreme from a manager who was explicitly hired not to do that.
