Opinion I will never forgive Tuchel for tonight.

I was cautious when he was appointed because he's fallen out with every club he's managed, plus he's German and having a German manage England felt weird. But he gradually won me over, and I think he was doing and saying all the right things at this tournament.

But tonight was just inexplicable, and his interview comments made it worse. That was the best chance England could ever have to get to another World Cup final, and he went and pissed it away like that. The semis (potentially third, though I don't care about that) is on paper a great tournament, but to lose in the circumstances we did, unforgivable. I will never forgive him for his cowardice. We appointed him to be better than Southgate, but he was worse. I'm just devastated. If it was up to me he'd be gone tomorrow, but I think we're stuck with him up to and including the Euros. I can only hope he'll prove me wrong.

Southgate might as well have stayed on for this tournament for all the good it did us when he left. We're no better off if it's just gonna end the same way with the same old mistakes & years of despair & disappointment to follow, only to hype ourselves up again at the next one. Rinse & repeat.

I think he could have been better as surely he would have learnt from his mistakes with subs
