I see no evidence of that. Quite the opposite.

What rubbish. Who chose the players? Who chose the substitutions?
-
But I haven't forgiven them.

Anyone with any intellect would never go near the place. -
Here, have a shot. You missed? Here have another one. Pickford saved it? Never mind, have a free header. Hit the post? Try again...

I don't feel bad at all. I feel ashamed that the whole world saw us as a quivering bunch of clueless cowards. We got further than I thought we would. Even in the early games we were a shapeless amorphous blob with no structure or style. Apart from Rice, who was our midfield supposed to be?
-
Kane couldn't come off. We didn't have another centre half to replace him.
-
He doesn't know how to deal with crosses.
-
Then deal with the crosses by stopping them at source. Not by swapping attacking players for a centre half or two.
-
As Rooney said a few minutes ago, with a back four everybody knows their spacing. When you go to a back five nobody knows where they stand an tgey start leaving the ball to each other. Their second goal tonight was awful defending. Their player was effectively unmarked.

Tuchel Just now, "We decided to go to a back five to close up the holes because we couldn't stop their crosses " Er...

At least I saw 1966.
-
Their first goal reminded me of Saints v Ipswich a couple of seasons ago. Pack the box but leave acres of space on the edge of the area.
-
Watkins! I'd forgotten he was even there.
-
The first. Maybe. But the header?
-
It's so basic. You defend from the front. Not by filling the penalty area with defenders.
-
No-one, nothing to blame except ourselves.
-
Whi is it that all of us could see this coming yet not this fraud of a manager.
-
From the moment that England sat back.
-
All those defenders and no-one to head the ball.
-
What a stupid waste of a glorious opportunity.
-
Inevitable. Stupid tactics.
-
If they get one they'll get two.
-
No outlet balls.
