LFEE Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 8 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: Yeah, tend to agree, I was sure he would get it until the Greece game. Maybe they never planned to go with him, or maybe they changed course, dunno. I would’ve appointed him straight after Southgate left TBH, no interim status needed. The fact they did that suggests one or both sides were unsure. Maybe he never wanted the job. Problem is if Carsley had no appetite for the main job then he shouldn’t have been in place for the U21’s. Think he lost his nerve. Need to replace him with someone who won’t. Or except U21’s manager is solely for developing players for the main team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to be going OK then came out with that abomination of a formation versus Greece. That was a strange thing to do. Maybe he was deliberately shi**ing the bed, who knows.

Mazzy Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I think the fact that Pep was touted about for a couple of days and know we end up with Tuchel makes it slightly underwhelming. HOWEVER, I think its a decent enough appointment considering the lack of options around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Pep was never, ever leaving Man City in the middle of a season to manage England. It was an insane idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think giving how Tuchel has been wrapped up quick, he knew he was off so tried something wild out of a ‘fuck it, only one chance I’ll get’ approach. Tuchel is a poor short term appointment, that just causes issues heading to home Euros as he won’t be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Given how pragmatic/structured Tuchel’s set-ups are I can’t see him shoehorning players in like Southgate did at times - especially in the last tournament. I guess there’ll be a few big player casualties in the process too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I'm a bit surprised. Tuchel has a bit of a reputation for falling out with people and this is a job that needs someone with a bit of tact. He has to work closely with the club managers and he has only a limited amount of time to establish trust with the players. That incident where he shook hands with Conte after a game and then wouldn't let go is fresh in my mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 It's quite simple really, the only question that needs answering is whether he's prepared to drop big names. You can't play Bellingham, Palmer and Foden in the same side. Drop 1 or 2 of them. It won't happen because the idiots in the media won't let it. And don't get me started on Kane. Play someone who is prepared to run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Do we know why he’s fallen out with his bosses in the past? If the issues have been transfer-related or control on the training ground then it’s all good. Tbf any successful manager worth his salt would clash with Boehly and co.
