this was a poetic ending tuchels biggest mistake wasnt subbing gordon, it was trusting reece james to play RWB in 2021 🥀 i think tuchel gambled on playing rogers and bellingham like havertz and mount in 2021, and supporting wingbacks in james and spence. but i was very disappointed in james, very little bravery on the day in terms of intent then he blew out his hammy. theres things to be said about the intensity of england following the goal too, but jury is out whether it was tuchel guiding them to do that or the ghost of southgate I think tuchel panicked with the dan burn sub to try to stop the bleeding, then when they conceded it was a game of catch up to try to stop the situation from spiraling. Tuchel had enough time to have the plan b ready, but he rode the reece james rwb plan into the fucking sunset. he died on his own sword in a way thus ends the legend of thomas tuchel. stubborn in victory and stubborn in defeat
