Tommy Tuchel - England Manager

How long until the media run with the “German leading England into war” narative?

Have always said Tuchel would be what England need, a bit of know how on how to get over the line. 

 
Great news for Reece James.

Unfortunately, good news for Mason Mount.. just hope Tommy has less sentiments there 😅

 
I'm excited by this.

We'll get to see him back at The Bridge sometimes and I also feel we needed someone who isn't a FA yes man.

No more bland press conferences as well lol.

 
Curious to see how he balances the side. 

Gordon and Gallagher will surely be utilized a lot by Tuchel.

If Tuchel can get Mount back to CL winning season level then that’s only a good thing for England.

On a separate note, I’ll predict Tuchel’s line up

GK: Henderson

CB: Colwill, Stones, Guehi

LWB: Saka

RWB: James

CM: Bellingham, Rice

RW: Palmer

LW: Foden

ST: Kane

 
Not that hiring a national team coach who doesn't own a passport of the country of employment is a big issue (not to me anyway), but it amazes me that England, that has such great football competitions at all levels, can"t produce an English national team coach - or apparently doesn't have enough quality coaches on club level to climb the ladder.

 
I am soo fkn happy about this. 

I love titty tickle...and apart from being a great tactician, which the England team need. He isn't going to manage another PL club. I would have been soo gutted if he took the man utd job for example!

 
He might be the exact level of lunatic this incredibly talented squad needs to win a trophy. He only needs to win one to go down as an England legend, that will be plenty; we don't need an era.

Looking forward to the media being initially amazed at this new continental import called 'tactics' before everyone is bored sh*tless and harking back to the Southgate days.

How is he going to pick his squads? I was under the impression he never really watches football. It's hard to imagine him taking in Palace vs Ipswich to see what Tyrick Mitchell and Liam Delap are up to. Will he say 'f**k it, I'll start Eric Dier'? Will he wear a suit and waistcoast? Will the English public tolerate a vaguely goblinish tracksuit manager? Will the appointment of a manager I adore finally tempt me back to the fold of international football?

He'll either go down as our greatest manager since Ramsey, or a dour disappointment like Capello. I can't really see a middle ground.

 
Pressure is huge to win something, we can't have done all this and hired a German just to still win nothing. The backlash will be unheard of.

Spain current HC was their youth coach. Argentina current HC was also happened to be their youth coach. 

Both whom I am pretty sure most people doesn't know about before they won euro/wc. 

I don't think England problem is tactic or coaching. Southgate is not stupid but England need a manager who has the ball to drop player. 

Play a balance 11, It doesn't matter if you have to drop foden, Kane, Saka, palmer, etc.

As good as he is he hasn't got a magic wand. Similar to how Rafa couldn't get Torres back to what he use to be.
