Tuchel’s excuses and advance excuses are wearing a bit thin. Apparently England were in one of the toughest groups (er, no they weren’t) and DR Congo will be another tough match. Yes, it may well be, but didn’t ought to be. Good teams find a way against low block sides. It’s not like he didn’t know who we’d playing in the group stages and those possibles in the early KO stage so plenty of time to prepare for it. The fact that he’s taken players with dodgy fitness levels and low on flair players is all on him. Happy to be proven wrong about him but at present I’m not convinced he knows what he’s doing. State of that defence. Our sieve defence could perform better!
