Everything Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart and Micah Richards described about ball retention and controlling games is exactly what Kobbie Mainoo brings. Tuchel’s decision to start Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson shouldn’t be viewed as kobbie Mainoo not being good enough. It tells you the type of football Tuchel wanted...

🚨 Paul Merson criticises Thomas Tuchel after England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina. 🗣️ Paul Merson: “I heard Thomas Tuchel say, ‘If it doesn’t end up well, it’s easy to say my decisions were wrong.’ No, Thomas. Your decisions were wrong. Kobbie Mainoo spent the entire tournament on the bench while England cried out for control in midfield. You don’t take a player of his quality to a World Cup just to watch from the sidelines. Then look at the game itself. England scored first and instead of pushing for a second, they retreated. You handed the initiative to Argentina. Against a team with players like Messi, you cannot spend an hour inviting pressure. The substitutions made England weaker, not stronger. Every change looked like it was made to protect the scoreline instead of winning the match. That’s not how you become world champions. You don’t get judged on your press conferences. You get judged on your team selections, your tactics and your in-game decisions. England had enough quality to reach the final, but they were managed with caution instead of conviction. *This wasn’t just about losing to Argentina. It was about failing to make the bold decisions when the biggest moment arrived. That’s why England are going home, and that’s why people will question the manager.”

🚨Rio Ferdinand Blasts Thomas Tuchel After England's World Cup Exit 👀 🎙️ Reporter: "Rio, where do you think England lost this World Cup semi-final?" Gary Neville: "The game was lost the moment Thomas Tuchel decided to go full defensive around the 60th minute. That decision invited pressure, handed Argentina all the momentum, and completely destroyed everything England had built. You don't protect a lead in a World Cup semi-final by hiding—you go and win the game." 🎙️ Reporter: "Do you think the players deserve the criticism Rio Ferdinand: "No. The players carried out the instructions they were given. For me, this defeat is on the manager. The tactics changed, the substitutions were negative, and the mentality became one of survival instead of winning. When a coach changes the entire direction of a game like that, he has to take responsibility." 🎙️ Reporter: "Should Thomas Tuchel remain England manager after this?" Rio Ferdinand: "I've never believed Thomas Tuchel was the right man for England, and tonight only strengthened that opinion. England need a manager who plays with courage and trusts his players in the biggest moments. Instead, we saw fear from the touchline, and it cost England a place in the World Cup final. For me, the blame starts and ends with the coach."

🛑🗣️📢 | “Where Was Your Zidane?” — Jamie Carragher Challenges Scholes Over His Previous Kobbie Mainoo Praises. Jamie Carragher: 🗣️| “Scholesy, you told us Kobbie Mainoo was the closest thing to Zinedine Zidane. So explain this to me—if he’s that special, how couldn’t he force his way into this England team and save us from that embarrassment?” Paul Scholes: 🗣️| “That’s a poor argument, Jamie. Whether Mainoo starts or not is the manager’s decision, not a measure of his ability. A coach picks players based on the system and tactics he wants to play. Sometimes top players miss out because they don’t fit the game plan—not because they lack quality.” 🗣️ “Kobbie Mainoo is still one of England’s most gifted young midfielders. He’s calm under pressure, comfortable receiving the ball in tight spaces, carries it through midfield, and makes intelligent decisions. More importantly, he’s already shown he’s a big-game player. The quality is there—the coach just has to be informed enough to know when those attributes are exactly what’s needed.” 🗣️| “And Jamie, while we’re talking about opinions, you once said Casemiro should leave football before football leaves him. The season before, he was one of the Premier League’s best midfielders, and he was also an important player for Brazil at the World Cup. Football changes quickly. Form, tactics, and coaching decisions matter. They don’t suddenly erase a player’s quality.” 🔴What’s your take on Paul’s response?💬⤵️

Dimitar Berbatov on Kobbie Mainoo being left on the bench again for England’s FIFA World Cup semi-final against Argentina. 🗣️ “I honestly cannot understand this anymore. It’s becoming embarrassing. If you’re not prepared to trust Kobbie Mainoo with even one single minute at a World Cup, then why did you bring him in the first place? What exactly was the point? He’s spent the entire tournament watching football instead of playing it, and that’s a complete waste of one of England’s brightest young talents.” “Managers always talk about believing in young players, but words mean absolutely nothing when your actions say the opposite. Mainoo has trained every day, stayed professional, waited patiently and still hasn’t been rewarded with a single minute. That’s incredibly harsh and, in my opinion, completely disrespectful to a player who has done nothing wrong.” “You don’t build confidence by making a player sit on the bench for an entire World Cup. You build confidence by trusting him when the team needs energy, composure and fresh ideas. Instead, England have treated one of their most gifted midfielders like he doesn’t even exist.” “If the coaching staff never believed he was capable of helping this team, then they should have left him at home and given his place to someone else. At least that player would have understood the situation. Taking Mainoo to the World Cup just to let him collect splinters on the bench is impossible to defend.” “And if England don’t reach the final, don’t be surprised when people start questioning every decision. Because leaving a midfielder with Kobbie Mainoo’s talent without a single appearance throughout the entire tournament is the kind of decision that follows a manager for years. It’s difficult to explain, impossible to justify and incredibly unfair on the player.”

🔴📢 JAMIE CARRAGHER slams Thomas Tuchel advising him to Resign following Argentina defeat. 🗣️ “If I were Thomas Tuchel, I would have resigned. Forget the contract until 2028 and forget leading England into another Euros. After a collapse like this, the honourable decision is to walk away before the FA has to act.” 🗣️ “You don’t take charge of one of England’s most talented generations, lead 1-0 in a World Cup semi-final, then retreat into your own half. That isn’t elite management. That’s bottling the biggest moment.” 🗣️ “The substitutions were cowardly, the tactics were negative, and the message to the players was obvious: survive instead of winning. Argentina sensed it immediately and punished England for every fearful decision.” 🗣️ “If the FA still believes Tuchel is the man to lead England through 2028, they need to explain why. This team deserves a manager who attacks big moments instead of shrinking from them.” 🗣️ “Reputation can’t protect you forever. Contracts can’t protect you forever. When your decisions cost England a World Cup final, accountability has to come before excuses.” 🗣️ “For the sake of English football, Tuchel should do the right thing and resign. If he won’t, the FA should ask themselves whether they can honestly justify keeping him in charge.”

Gary Neville criticises Thomas Tuchel’s tactics after England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina. 🗣️ “I’m absolutely stunned by what I’ve just watched. England didn’t lose because Argentina were unbeatable they lost because they completely abandoned everything that got them to the semi-final. Thomas Tuchel has to take the biggest share of the blame.” “You score against the defending world champions, you’ve got the momentum, the crowd behind you and confidence flowing… and then you decide to park the bus? I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes. That isn’t smart football that’s surrender.” “The message from the touchline was obvious: ‘Drop deeper, protect the lead and hope for the best.’ Against Lionel Messi? Against Argentina? That’s one of the biggest tactical mistakes you’ll ever see in a World Cup semi-final.” “The deeper England dropped, the more comfortable Argentina became. Every minute they spent defending invited more pressure. Messi started finding space, Argentina started believing, and England completely lost control of the game. It was like watching a slow-motion collapse.” “This England squad is packed with players who dominate matches every single week for Europe’s biggest clubs. Yet tonight they were told to defend like a team fighting relegation. That’s unacceptable. You don’t win World Cups by playing with fear.” “I feel sorry for the players because they’ll carry this heartbreak forever, but they were put in a position where they were reacting instead of controlling the game. The biggest mistake wasn’t made on the pitch it came from the technical area.” “This defeat will haunt England for years because the opportunity was there. A World Cup final was ninety minutes away, and instead of chasing history, England tried to protect it. Football doesn’t reward fear. It punishes it.” “Thomas Tuchel got this one badly wrong. When the biggest game arrived, England needed courage from the bench. Instead, they got caution and that decision cost an entire nation its World Cup dream.”

Joe Cole responds to Thomas Tuchel’s comments after England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina. 🗣️ “I don’t want to hear excuses about facing strong teams. Everyone knew Argentina were the defending world champions before a ball was kicked. That’s not an excuse that was the challenge. If you want to win the World Cup, you have to beat the best.” “You scored first and then completely abandoned your identity. The moment England took the lead, they started playing with fear instead of belief. It was like watching a small team desperately hanging on instead of a nation trying to reach a World Cup final.” “You don’t score against Argentina and then spend the rest of the game camped inside your own penalty area. That’s football suicide. You invited pressure, gave Lionel Messi more time on the ball and practically begged Argentina to come back into the match. Against the greatest player of his generation, that’s asking to be punished.” “The tactical approach was shocking. Instead of going for the second goal and killing the game, England retreated deeper and deeper. Every substitution sent the same message: ‘Let’s survive.’ You don’t survive against world champions you either finish them off or they finish you.” “Don’t tell me England lost because Argentina were too good. England helped create their own downfall. This squad has enough quality to compete with anyone, but they were coached with fear instead of confidence.” “The painful truth is England weren’t beaten by talent alone they were beaten by a lack of courage. A World Cup final was within touching distance, and it slipped away because the manager chose to protect a one-goal lead instead of chasing history. That’s a decision England will regret for years.”

The reason Ruben Amorin needed “legs or ground eater” was because he never believed in players playing close to one another and keeping the ball for a long time. We often launched the ball to our strikers to beat press, he did the same at Sporting CP with Gyokeres and that caused our team needing to run so much because when we lose the second ball, we were in trouble.. It’s more about athleticism to him than techniques.. He never wanted players that are comfortable on the ball instead he likes players that can pick long passes so they can move the ball as quickly forward as possible and that’s why he never rated Mainoo.. Now Carrick has a different approach to football which is for players to play close to one another, take regulated and calculated risk instead of throwing the ball in the air at every chance which limits his need for “ground eaters” and increases his needs for actual ballers, guys that are comfortable on the ball and know how to pass it at the same time.

This World Cup has shown how Argentinian players are just built different, and it was interesting because, in the press conferences, both managers addressed this. First, Tuchel talks about the Argentinian value of the ball and how they protect the ball at all costs, how they manage those small spaces, and how they learn this from a young age. He references culture, and this is exactly it. A child playing in a certain environment leads to that. Not every Argentinian child is on the national team, but it raises the ceiling. It creates a certain type of style and a certain type of player. Then Scaloni also references his culture. He sees them play without fear of losing. It comes from playing in an environment where you are constantly faced with the potential of losing and being able to play with that pressure, right? They don’t fight against it. They play with it. They use it. And I think this is where youth football coaches should really take note. This does not mean we should copy and paste Argentinian culture into every training environment, because culture cannot just be copied. But the values within that culture can be inculcated in every training environment. The value of the ball. The courage to receive it in small spaces. The ability to protect it under pressure. The confidence to keep playing after a mistake. The willingness to play with the possibility of losing rather than constantly trying to avoid it. Those values can become part of the environment we create every day. They can be present in the games we design, in what we praise, in what we allow players to struggle with, and in how we respond when they lose the ball. If every mistake leads to the coach stopping the session, giving the answer, or taking the pressure away, then players never learn to play with that pressure. They learn to wait for the coach. It was cool to see how two managers, at such a big stage, reference culture and the environments that kids play in when they’re young. Because the players we see on the biggest stage were not only created by tactics or coaching information. They were created by environments that taught them what to value, how to relate to the ball, and how to play when there was something to lose.

Most people don’t understand Phil Foden. Phil Foden is a tempo dependent profile. He needs constant touches, quick 1-2s and early access to activate his game. So he keeps dropping into the first phase showing between lines asking for the ball off the 6/8s and even the CBs. The issue is not availability. It’s access. England simply do not have the level of passer required. Anderson, Rice, Mainoo and Henderson are nowhere near the level of consistently breaking lines with the right weight, timing and conviction. At City he is fed by Rodri and Bernardo. Players who trust the angle, play through pressure and sustain a IP 3-2-5 with control. With England, that connection is not there. So instead of receiving on the half turn in the right half space, he’s recycling or arriving late. The attack loses central progression and defaults to low value wide crosses. Put Foden in a possession structure with elite interior passers and you get a completely different player. This is not about form. It’s about ecosystem.

Sometimes as fans, we are mostly focused on how the achievements of the team means to us and we forget about the players. How they feel about it, what it means for them to win these games. Take Noni Madueke for instance, his transfer to Arsenal was a mess. A lot of the fans didn't understand the move and there was a lot of displeasure about it online. How do you think that made Madueke feel? This is a guy who was on top of his game in the Netherlands before moving to Chelsea and everything changed for him. He went from a confident dribbling monster, fighting for silverware to whatever he was at Chelsea, a shadow of himself. Now he has won the league in his first season at Arsenal and made the world cup squad for England. Arteta is not only saving the lives of the fans, he is also saving the lives of his players. Thank you Arteta.

🚨 Mikel Arteta on Declan Rice and Bruno Guimarães’ midfield pivot at Arsenal: 🗣️ “The idea is to give the team more control without losing the aggression we need in midfield. Declan gives us incredible athleticism, power and the ability to cover large spaces. He can protect the back line, win duels and also drive the team forward. “Bruno gives us something different. He has the personality to receive the ball under pressure, play through difficult situations and control the rhythm of the game. His intelligence allows him to know when to accelerate and when to slow things down. “When you put those qualities together, you have a midfield that can dominate in different ways. They can win the ball, control possession, protect the defence and give our attacking players the freedom to stay higher. “The most important thing is their understanding. They cannot simply play next to each other; they have to move together, cover for each other and recognise the moments when one of them needs to step forward. “If we get that balance right, Rice and Bruno can give Arsenal one of the strongest midfield pivots in the Premier League.”

They cannot simply play next to each other; they have to move together, cover for each other and recognise the moments when one of them needs to step forward. “If we get that balance right, Rice and Bruno can give Arsenal one of the strongest midfield pivots in the Premier League.”

Bukayo Saka on the penalty "Jude was never taking it. To be fair he was the first one to say go and get your hat trick. He was just holding the ball for me so none of them come and try and distract me." Can someone give me an honest answer as to why Tuchel never put in Saka? I understand that the first half probably wouldn’t be good for him given the WWE like plays, but what about the second half? Or even the 70+ minute? In the argentina game specifically Tuchel said in press conference Rogers was bigger, more physical and had "something special" to offer. They had Saka warm up a few times for the 2nd half then the game changed and plans changed. In the other press conference he said England wasn't defending the crosses when it was 4-4-2 so he felt 5 at the back was needed to defend the crosses. The other games I've only heard he maybe wasn't fully fit. Saka said today he showed he was fully fit.

🎙️ Roy Keane on England’s thrilling World Cup third-place win over France: “I’m not getting carried away. Fair play, England won, but where was this performance when it actually mattered? You score four in the first half today, you keep attacking, you keep asking questions. Against Argentina, you went 1-0 up and suddenly everyone started protecting the lead instead of chasing the game. That’s the difference. It feels like whenever England get in front under Tuchel, they become cautious. The substitutions invite pressure instead of killing games off. Top teams don’t stop playing because they’re leading—they keep going until the opposition has nothing left. Look at France today. Four down at half-time and they still came out swinging. That’s pride. England should’ve had that same fearless mentality in the semi-final. Instead, they let Argentina back into it. The fight was there today because there was no real pressure. Football is easy when you’ve got nothing to lose. The real test is producing that same courage when you’re one game away from a World Cup final. Third place is nice. But let’s not kid ourselves—that’s not what England came here for. You make hay while the sun shines, and England let the sun disappear against Argentina.”

🗣️ Jeff Peterson: "There is one person I want to shout out specifically, and that's Pat Connaughton. I'll be fully transparent with you guys. When we made the trade for Pat, I talked to him and I said, 'you're probably not making the team.'" "And I give him all the credit in the world because he showed up. He didn't have to be here. He could have just said, 'I'm just gonna chill in Texas with my family and figure out my next move,' but he's been with you guys every step of the way, competing." "He and Charles have had conversations. I've had conversations with him. He knows that if he plays 5 minutes or if he may not play for 20 straight games, why he's on this team is because he's about everything that we're about: Hornets DNA." "You talk about controlling controllables. Anytime his name is called, he's ready to go in the game. He's staying ready. He's busting his ass. He's a professional. So if there's any doubt at any time of what we're about, look at what he did. Because it was all in his control, in terms of his attitude, his approach, showing up every day doing what he could control, and obviously it paid off."

🚨 ⚠️ Michael Carrick (fictional)🎙️: When Michael Carrick was asked about Kobbie Mainoo’s World Cup treatment after England’s elimination; “I’m disappointed for England, of course. But more than anything, my heart breaks for Kobbie Mainoo.” “I watched young players across this tournament get their chance. Some started, some came off the bench, some made mistakes, and some produced moments they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. That’s what a World Cup is for ; it’s where the next generation is born.” “Then I look at Kobbie… a player who proved himself week after week for Manchester United last season. When I took over, he never asked for anything. He earned every minute with maturity, courage and unbelievable consistency. Yet somehow, he leaves the World Cup without playing a single minute.” “That doesn’t sit right with me.” “The Panama game was the perfect opportunity. England were in control, qualification wasn’t under threat, and there was a chance to reward a young player who had worked his whole life for that moment. If you couldn’t trust him then, when exactly were you planning to?” “People keep saying, ‘He’s still young.’ Exactly. That’s why you play him. Young players don’t wake up one day with World Cup experience—they gain it because a manager has the courage to trust them.” “Instead, Kobbie spent the tournament warming up, sitting back down, warming up again… I think he covered more distance jogging along the touchline than some midfielders did on the pitch.” (smiles) “I know Kobbie. This will hurt him. It’ll stay with him. But knowing the character he is, he’ll turn that pain into something special.” “One thing I can promise you is this: he’ll come back to Manchester United hungrier than ever, and he won’t need anyone’s permission to remind the football world how good he is. Sometimes the players you leave on the bench become the players you spend years trying to stop.”

🚨Simon Jordan doubles down on Declan Rice criticism after England displays Reporter: 🗣️ “Some fans felt calling Declan Rice a "limited" player was too harsh. Were you trying to provoke Arsenal supporters? Simon Jordan: 🗣️ “No. I think Graham's viewpoint has been influenced by what we've consistently seen from Declan Rice in an England shirt. A lot of the time, Graham has a point. It's sideways, then backwards. Sideways, then backwards. We saw plenty of that during the World Cup. His influence in England's midfield has often been limited. People hear the word "limited" and immediately think it's an insult. It isn't. I'm talking about the role he performs for England and the outcomes that come from it. In that role, his ability to consistently unlock compact defences or dictate games has been limited. Arsenal fans tell me he's got every pass in his locker, that he can split defences at will. Maybe he shows more of that at club level, but when I watch him for England, I don't see it often enough. That's not trying to be controversial; it's simply what his performances have shown. If England want to win the biggest trophies, they need more from the heart of midfield than safe passes and ball retention. At the international level, that's just not enough.

“Football is to recognise and anticipate on patterns. You see all kinds of patterns when you’re little…and you anticipate on the patterns…” Ruud Gullit 1. He’s seen it over and over (paying attention to the detail in his playing environment) 2. He’s made sense of what he’s seen and remembered it (thought about it to make meaning of it and processed it in both a visual and semantic way) 3. He can then make quicker and more effective decisions in games based upon what he sees in the moment (knowledge-in the game) with relation to what he’s seen and what he’s made sense of in the past (knowledge-of the game) Mastery of anticipation and decision-making… This requires… 1. Coach session design setting problems for players to detect and to solve 2. Coach behaviours that orient players’ attention to the problems to help them think about, work on, solve, and remember in-game problems 3. Player participation - attention, involvement, reflection-in-action, post session reflection-in-action to consolidate memories It’s a coach-player responsibility…

🚨Gary Neville on Jude Bellingham’s match-winning performance against France. 🎙️ Reporter: “Gary, Jude Bellingham came off the bench and scored the winning goal. What did you make of his performance?” 🗣️ Gary Neville: “He’s a player you simply cannot take your eyes off. Every time he steps onto a football pitch, something happens. “I’ll be honest, I’m still disappointed Manchester United missed the chance to sign him when they had the opportunity. Players like Jude don’t come around very often. “He came on around the 70th minute, took the game by the scruff of the neck and scored the winning goal. That’s what world-class players do—they change matches. “What amazes me is that he’s a midfielder. How do you explain it? He arrives in the box like a top-class striker, finishes with the composure of a centre-forward and still gives you everything defensively. “He doesn’t wait for the game to come to him—he goes and takes control of it. That’s a rare mentality. “When England needed someone to calm things down and deliver a decisive moment, Jude was the one who stood up. That’s leadership, and you can’t teach it. “He’s got everything. The physicality, the technique, the intelligence, the timing of his runs and the personality to perform under pressure. He plays with the confidence of someone who’s been doing this for 15 years. “For me, he’s one of the most complete midfielders in world football. Players like him don’t just win matches—they define generations. England are incredibly fortunate to have him.”
