Thomas Tuchel | England Manager

Beethoven had more tone recognition on his deathbed. And, by the looks of it, possibly a healthier liver.

Yes people did, the general idea with internationals is one countries best against another. As the manager is very important to any team even the most important then i would suggest the view he/she should be English isnt exactly weird especially as most of the big international teams do just that.

We are acting like a newly developing international team thar hasn't any fucking coaches of its own.

We haven't got any top class managers or coaches have we?

The last English manager to win the top flight was Howard Wilkinson in 1992, the last manager to win a trophy in England was Harry Redknapp with Portsmouth in 2008.

The last manager to win a trophy overseas was Graham Potter, who choked under the pressure at Chelsea. Not sure he'd be any better for England than the bloke he succeeded at Chelsea.

I can't recall how teams play under him, so what style of football can we expect? Surely it has to be more exciting than what Southgate served up?
And we don't go into tournaments looking like 11 players thrown together for the first time and hope for the best.

I might be totally wrong but it feels like when some countries start tournaments they know their best 11 and have a system in place already, whereas with England it's all over the place, but yet somehow we scrape through to the final, probably down to the easier route too.

And I think we all can recognise that just because some players do well or are on form at club level doesn't mean they'll play well for England. So will he be able to find the right mix and bring some kind of "identity" to our World Cup team, where we can think we're going into it more settled, positive and actually feel like we've got a decent team ready to have a good crack at it, because to me it never feels like this. But then I don't know if I'm being quite naive to international football and it's just not that straight forward due to numerous factors.
 
I’m surprised at the reaction to appointing a manager from outside England, especially as much of the rancour is coming from ex-players and journalists.

Presumably Carragher, Neville, Wallace etc. only wanted Eddie Howe then. Or stayed with Southgate.

They’d all have creamed themselves if Pep had agreed to it.
