Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

Nobody is getting sacked for reaching a semi final in his first tournament. Talk about levels of delusional entitlement.

The vast majority of the country must be delusional. 

[Sexual Ealing]

The vast majority of the country couldn’t give a fuck.

No disagreement there.

I'm here for this. The big disappointment from Wednesday was getting notice that the Hacienda do in Digbeth on August bank holiday was cancelled.

[VILLA MOLE]

I wouldn’t say entitled,  i think England have flattered to deceive with probably the least difficult route

Played well in 1 1/2 games to be told by the manager we played best against

Argentina and did not collapse but the players have issues with their mental DNA.

Not saying sack him but Should not have given him
an extended deal

The Southgate era suggests that as soon as the topic of the England manager comes up, normally quite sensible people suddenly turn into frothing-at-the-mouth lunatics.

TT being smarmy in an interview accepting blame but not really accepting it. 
Bin him off. 

Yes sack him now. He was brought in to not reach a semi final but to go that one step further. His job was to change that mentality he keeps going on about. His job was to make big and appropriate changes in game. He has not changed the mentality and he fucked up big time in the "in game changes". What's the point of keeping him in place?

Like the hated Southgate did, twice?

[ChicagoLion]

I think he should be sacked because I do not see how he can have the faith and trust of the players.

[AV82EC]

I’m in the not sack him camp but feel he could have been slightly less disingenuous on admitting to the fact he utterly fucked it on Wednesday night. I think the wider issue of the night is are the players in anyway culpable even if we accept that Tuchel totally fucked it up?

Of course, but it is difficult to see how they were supposed to react.
It seems that he shot from the hip, this did not appear to be a rehearsed event , there is very good analysis deeper in the thread. Konsa for Gordon sub was truly bonkers under the circumstances.
It’s his reaction after and even now insisting he was right.
He threw the players under the Bus with his English DNA stuff. How could the players trust him after this?
