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 to play throughout this tournament. By picking two defensive minded midfielders, he knowingly sacrificed ball retention, composure and creativity and England paid the price. Mainoo thrives under pressure. He’s technically gifted, receives the ball in tight spaces and keeps his team in control. England lacked all of that. This isn’t about bringing him on when you’re chasing the game,it’s about starting him if you had intentions of playing any other way asides sitting back and absorbing pressure. He would have given England the control they desperately needed against. Tuchel then made things worse with his substitutions. Instead of introducing attacking players to push Argentina back and give them something to think about, he invited more pressure by bringing on Nico O’Reilly and Dan Burn. Those subs basically said “we surrender”. His post match explanation doesn’t hold up either. If England lacked the aerial presence to deal with Argentina’s direct play, then why leave Harry Maguire at home? Defending long balls and dominating the box is exactly what Maguire is known for, yet Tuchel chose Ezri Konsa, John stones and Dan Burn instead. England’s biggest problem wasn’t the players it was Thomas Tuchel. From his squad selection and starting XI to his substitutions and in game management, his decisions consistently weakened England rather than giving them the best chance to win.
