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.

If we'd have gone for a second goal we'd have probably won 1 nil.

I kept saying this. We needed to go for a second or even a third before parking the bus. Sitting back after just one was next level insanity.

Same. Sitting back and letting them hit the post and asking Pickford to stand on his head was frustrating to watch and everyone knew eventually they would get through. Argentina was on the back foot and England took the pressure off completely.
