This turned out to be a bit of an epic. Features exclusive interview with former BBC Director of News @franunsworth
UnHerd@unherd

Inside the capture of the BBC, by Rob Burley (@RobBurl) In his 13 years as a senior BBC editor, Rob Burley saw the Corporation’s defining commitment to impartiality undermined by transgender ideology, a blind commitment to Diversity & Inclusion schemes, and a culture of intolerance. Informed by his experiences at Newsnight alongside other prestige shows, his major investigation reveals how the BBC took a side in the culture wars. He draws on extensive interviews with current and former staff — including journalists at the very top. Speaking out for the first time since leaving the Corporation, Fran Unsworth, the former director of BBC News, reveals in an explosive interview: “I would actually say it drove me out, just dealing with the progressive editorial issues and the bullying around them all. It was incredibly difficult.” Read more below ⬇️ buff.ly/7Fv4Ry8

I've now read a number of high-flying football analysts saying "no, you naive ones, it wasn't TT's subs, the team had already gone into a defensive shell straight after the goal, remember the first substitution wasn't until 72 mins" - which is true. But: a. the team are meant to play the way the manager tells them, and if they're not it's his job to make them do so and b. putting on a defender for an attacker at 72 mins just confirms, in the minds of the players, that what they need to do is defend not attack. So once again:

The substitutions killed England here.

Some saying that 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 started to sit deep before Tuchel made the subs. That doesn’t make them any more excusable. It cemented the problem, others say 🇦🇷 just had better players. If so it wasn’t evident as we weathered the fouls and then scored.

I was ready to believe the hype about Tuchel but I’ve never seem a more needless and cowardly surrender when wining 1-0 in the second biggest fixture in world football. Total surrender, give messi half an hour to cross the ball in. Suicidal. The coach let the players down.

Let's be clear: that was tactical cowardice. It takes guts to defend deep but more to back yourself to keep going. That Konsa-Gordon sub will live in my head until the Euros. Don't tell us that it will be different if you're going to make exactly the same mistakes.

Bellingham and Gordon and Kane and the rest deserved a better leader than that

To effectively stop playing with 30 minutes to go and just invite pressure against a team as good as Argentina, with the best player in the world in it. Deserve nothing more. For all the praise of subs, the strategy was hugely, hugely wrong today.

England lose a place in the World Cup final because Tuchel loses his bottle Messi doing little and you give him the space where he's most dangerous As one of the most famous pieces of American cinema ends: "We blew it. Good night, man" independent.co.uk/sport/football…

This is so much worse than Croatia eight years ago. England were a better team here, in a better position, with better options. And they just decided to do nothing after going 1-0 up. Back five tactics as if this was just endless crosses to Raul Jimenez again.

David Lynch@davidlynchlfc·
The idea behind appointing a tactician like Tuchel was to break England’s long-standing tournament habits of both panicking when in front in big games and simply hoofing it from the goalkeeper when trailing. He has managed neither - this is every England team I’ve ever watched.

Successive managers at some level do not have the confidence that England can win from attack, from sustained attacking play. And we can. We fucking can.

FA brought in Tuchel to get us over the line in the big moments. In the biggest moment of all he did exactly what Southgate would have done and parked the bus. It was there for us and we fucked it.

I think that is close to sackable from Tuchel. A coach appointed at great expense for his tactical acumen and "ability to get over the line" needlessly forces England miles from it. All that money... for that?
