Given the regularity and reliability Okoli has in doing something stupid in a dangerous position - it seems impossible this wasn’t spotted across any sort of scouting period prior to signing him - and could be a strong reason why he may still be at the club come the start of the season.

This hasn’t been very good from what I’ve seen - we’re clueless with the ball and causing ourselves our own problems.

McCarthy’s not good enough with his feet / pass selection to be playing out under such a tight press.

Maybe he’ll resign, because i can’t imagine the press will let him forget last night. It’s also worth remembering that he made a Horlick of the Norway game too!

Nah - his substitutions vacated the middle of the park - and lo and behold Argentina find even more space. It was brain dead management; not something I expected to say of Tuchel!

Anyway… given Klopp’s now manager of Germany, we’re going to get Pep right?

Thiere is a core that is still pretty young; and there’s spots in the squad that can still improve. I think we’ll see a change in goal by the time the Euro’s come around and it may not be Kane leading the line. And of course Monga will by terrifying defenders by then.

I think the issue that got to Tuchel was he knew he had his best 11 on the pitch… there’s an argument he was better off making zero changes, but that would have been a huge shift for all of them.

Yeah - the pub cheered at the Dan Burn substitution, but I was like “you’re taking off Rice!” Dare I say it - chucking on Jordan Henderson would have been more sensible, pack the midfield.

That was a game of few chances for the most part. Kane can’t fashion a chance out of nothing. Sometimes as a forward all you can do is occupy space to allow others to play in.

You don’t vacate the midfield against Argentina

He had a shocker against Norway too. Quite obvious he didn’t know what to do - had no options he really fancied on the bench, because they would have been on before the 70th minute.

No, I think you need Roger’s to play centrally… unless you push Stones into there.

No idea why Tuchel thought taking a player out of the midfield area was sensible.

In theory, it’s a sensible signing - experienced pro, in his prime years, in a key focal point position in the team. But I do wonder if he’ll end up being side lined by someone from our academy (which may not be a bad thing either).
