Trevor Morgan

@talkSPORT its our defensive players that don't have the technical ability to play out when under pressure. I keep banging on about this but it has been the same for over 40 years since I've been watching England. Imo all down to grass roots and youngsters being told to hoof the ball away

😱 "He hasn't been honest, he has lied to us!" 😬 "It's like he's telling the nation that we're all wrong!" Thomas Tuchel hits back at Thomas Tuchel for lying to the England fans

@appiecule France didn't care

I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who missed the France vs. England game, because they literally missed one of the greatest spectacles imaginable. England absolutely tore France apart in the first half. Thomas Tuchel pinned France’s defense back with Rogers, Toney, and Saka, stretched the game through the full-backs and Rashford on the wings, and repeatedly exploited runs in behind the defense. The result? England scored 4 goals in a stunning first-half display. Deschamps refused to let his France career end in humiliation. He brought on Upamecano, Dembélé, and Barcola, moved Olise into a central role, and everything changed. France fought back to score 4 goals of their own. England responded with 2 more and eventually won 6-4. A game featuring 10 goals, 14 big chances created, 38 shots, 2 goals after the 90th minute, and a Bukayo Saka hat-trick. This wasn’t just a football game—it was an international football festival. One of the greatest World Cup games ever played. A game for the history books. ❤️

@deanstantonB6 @martynware England would have fucked off in the round of 32 then

@martynware Kane should have fucked off years ago. My dead granny is faster than him.

Hot take England play better when Kane isn’t involved…

@martynware hot take. Kane's replacements were crap

@KevJStewart the Kane conundrum is we need him to play as he gets us through the earlier games e.g. DR Congo. But as he is played so much early on, he is knackered for the big games later against the top sides so looks laboured.

Are there really people saying last night’s game was proof Kane shouldn’t start?! 😂 A) The match was dead rubber. It was played at snail pace. For the 20 minutes France got serious, they took us apart. B) The two strikers who came in were APPALLING. Literally AWFUL. Grow up.

@TrickyBunny @alex_crook figure of speech. just meaning it could have happened

@trevm_again @alex_crook Easily…. 🙄

Sorry but scoring six goals in a game with zero jeopardy against a French team who only tried in the second half doesn't make up for that last half hour in midweek. Makes it worse actually and raises so many questions. The main one being why Saka didn't get a minute v Argentina?

@TrickyBunny @alex_crook the could easily have beaten Argentina with the right subs. Spain in the final would have been a 30% chance imo

@trevm_again @alex_crook just completely ott the criticism. The Coach & players both were responsible but credit Argentina for being absolutely brilliant when behind in several games. Do you think that squad 'should' have won the World Cup? i'd argue 'could' but in the end we finished 3rd.

@DannyMck90 I was excited after the Croatia game (with Kane playing) as I thought that was the blueprint for our style in the tournament. But it all turned to s**t. Defensive players just not technically good enough to play out from a press. Kane gets overplayed and is f**ked by the QF

Ive been saying it for year. I truly believe Kane holds back this England team 🤷🏾‍♂️ His overall game doesnt suit what we need. #England #worldcup

@nelsabbey in a game that means f all and it came from quick wide men. Like the second half vs Croatia. Strikers did nothing of note in this game despite the French not bothering to defend

Absolutely fantastic match. Hate to say it but... England played better without Harry Kane.

@Place4Palace @Christianjw92 missed a sitter

@Christianjw92 Erm..I think Toney did exactly was Kane didn't. Kept his position so the structure around him knew what the F was going on. Didn't see him trying to be Tom Brady at any point

Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins contribution confirmed why Harry Kane starts every game… Neither of them did a thing

@inayakhanx Toney and Watkins starving

kane not playing in this everybody eats game…

@TrickyBunny @alex_crook sounds like the mentality of the English team

@alex_crook It’s the best England have done in a World Cup for 60 years Alex. Gove it a rest.

@ErlingRoIe just like Haaland vs England

🚨🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé: “To be honest, I would have preferred to NOT be top-scorer and be in the World Cup final”.

@jlz0z @omid9 no. This game means f all. Wednesday last 40 minutes is what mattered. he failed

@omid9 All those who wanted Tuchel sacked are now like ...

Cannot believe what we’ve just witnessed #ENGFRA

@SamCKx not sure you understand. Argentina the last 40 minutes was the whole reason Tuchel was bought in...that was it.....and he f**ked it big time. Even more so seeing how fit Saka and Rashford were yesterday

Thomas Tuchel’s record as England manager: Played 22 Won 17 Drawn 2 Lost 3 Goals scored 51 Goals conceded 17 Win rate: 77.3% After 22 matches, Gareth Southgate’s England record was: Played 22 Won 12 Drawn 7 Lost 3 Win rate: 54.5% Anyone who wants to sack Tuchel is utterly clueless.

@Superspurs1982 although Kane playing every minute is why he is f**ked at the latter end of tournaments.

Toney and Watkins showing why Kane plays every minute…

@GamerCyberpunk I lost count of the Toney and Watkins chances and goals

That result proves to me that what ive been saying for years about harry kane and England is correct! We are a worse team with him on the pitch unless we play shit teams!! Bin him off and give the others a chance! Also shows our defence is shit!! #FRAENG

@MatthewStadlen lets just hope when England play top teams in the future they don't bother defending and we'll be fine

England have just painted a beautiful picture of a future without Harry Kane.

@lollujo @FallenWaffle Toney was dogshit🤣

@FallenWaffle Toney worked.

What we’ve learned here tonight is we don’t need Harry Kane…
