Why is Southgate not 'the Englishman' if Tuchel is 'the German'? Or, more to the point, if Southgate is 'Southgate', why isn't Tuchel 'Tuchel'?

For Tuchel possibly another Capello, we may well have another expensive foreign manager without a clue. Senegal look streets ahead.

Not been impressed at all with Tuchel so far.

It'll be the usual; qualify with ease, stumble through the group and go out to the first decent side they meet in the knockout stage.

Agreed, Senegal were very well organised, fast, compact and took their chances and then some.

Never knowingly right.

I’m enjoying the theory that we need to pick washed up players deep into their 30s that couldn’t win international tournaments for England in their 20s because they’re “winners” and “know how to win”.

Disappointing performance. Players not yet gelling in a new system and newish squad. After 8 years of Gareth ball that perhaps isnt surprising after just a few games. You can also see that Tuchal is trying a fewer players and systems out at this point testing what and who works and who isnt up to it.

On basis of the last few games he probably now has a better idea of players who will not be progressing to the world cup squad (felt Walker might now be one of those) and those who might. One bright spark I felt was Eze who did unlock the opposition in each game he played in and tonight he had a full match. Created a lot, did things that no other player could. Worries me a bit that we dont seem to have anyone else currently available to cover for Keen if he gets injured. Clear too that Tuchal really doesnt fancy Toney having had him in the squad for this set of fixtures he only got 7 minutes and didnt look great. Watkins, injuries allowing, has probably got in the world cup squad without playing.

Probably should have just given it to Carsley until Howe was ready to take over. But no, he wouldn't sing the national anthem, and that will never do. Apparently

Three cheers for the Senegalese, they wanted it more.

The referee was abysmal and so were England.
Some of those players are sleepwalking but then, didn't we lose 4-0.to Hungary nder Southgate this time of year when the players had clearly checked out for the summer?

Let's not over egg it I guess.

Agreed. The system (if there is one) is not good enough. In the first two thirds there is no invention, as a team. It sets a bad marker going forward and ultimately makes us toothless. Drop two good ball playing midfielders further back when we are playing it out and ticker tacker it out.

There are few opinions that I’ll die on a hill for, but one of them is that Gareth Southgate pulled fcking miracles with this nation and was largely but not entirely pilloried for it.

That said, plenty of great sides started with a wobble and I think Tuchel’s class will shine through.

Tuchel has been dreadful so far, each game has got worse. Playing 4-4-2 tonight I mean christ only England could appoint foreign managers who want to play like Howard Wilkinson.

They really should have given it to Eddie Howe

The way he has treated a few players this week not picking Tony until last 3 mins, Trent only getting 10 mins, Cole Palmer not getting a minute tonight, it all looks wrong.

Quite sad seeing Kyle Waker like this, he looks finished

What is the new system they are using?
He played 4-4-2 tonight with Eze up front to start with them put Morgan up front with Eze, utterley bizarre

We looked a lot better under Lee Carsley

Maybe Tuchel is a double agent sent from Germany

Think he won't be on Ivan Toneys Christmas Card list after tonight.

Yes did think also, Eze was the only one that seemed to have an ability not to do the obvious tonight.

However Bellinghams goal being disallowed I felt was the wrong decision and they certainly would not have conceded the third if they were 2-2 in last minute.

England have some fabulously talented players, we are lucky I guess to have them.

I only watched from 70 minutes but the last 20 minutes I'm watching England players mishitting short passes, trying and failing back heel passes etcetera etcetera.

One thing for sure the England players will be sat In the dressing room pissed off having been beaten at home.

Pride will be hurting.

Fair play to Senegal though.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

That awful free kick that they scored from was a joke .
Took ages to take it with 2 minutes left then hit the first man 30 yards away. Unbelievable Jeff.

It's being so happy that keeps me going.

Yeah also though it should have been Howe or Potter.

This does so far have a very Capello feel to it.. hopefully it will change, but Tuchel is known for his falling outs (generally with hierarchy admittedly rather than players), and the treatment of some players so far and the reaction of others does not bode well.

I do find it bizarre that we are the only "major" football nation which keeps hiring foreign managers... not seeing France, Italy, Spain, Germany or Netherlands doing that. Yet our best runs in competitions have come under English managers, even if some of them like Southgate have club records which could be called average at best.

In the end though, I guess around this time next year we'll find out if the Tuchel experiment worked or if the FA is facing a multi-million contract payoff.

It’s an end of season friendly. And prior game against bunch of no-hopers. The players want to be on holiday. Southgate got us relegated from the nations league losing twice to Hungary. You cannot make such an early judgment on the new guy. The only judgement is performance against big teams in big tournaments. Order is World Cup, Euros, Nations league and then friendlies. And I say all this when I think his decisions have at best been questionable!
