🚨 Thierry Henry Criticises Tuchel After England’s World Cup Exit “For me, this defeat is on Thomas Tuchel. England were excellent at the start of the game. They were aggressive, brave, pressing high and causing Argentina real problems. Then Anthony Gordon scored, and everything changed.” “The moment England went ahead, it felt like they became more concerned with protecting the lead than extending it. From around the 60th minute, they started dropping deeper and inviting pressure. Against Argentina, that is a very dangerous game to play.” “You cannot sit back for 30 or 40 minutes and expect players of that quality not to hurt you. Argentina will keep probing, keep moving the ball, keep asking questions until eventually you crack. That’s exactly what happened tonight.” “What disappointed me most was that England abandoned what had made them successful in the first place. They stopped being proactive and became reactive. Once you do that, you hand control of the match to Argentina, and they are one of the last teams in world football you want controlling the game.” “I also think the substitutions got it wrong. Instead of helping England regain momentum, they seemed to push the team even deeper. The balance wasn’t right, the energy wasn’t right, and Argentina sensed it immediately.” “Tuchel is an outstanding coach and he’ll be the first to admit it, but tonight he got it wrong. The tactics changed, the mentality changed, and England paid the ultimate price. I know he’ll look back at this game and feel he could have handled it differently.” #ENGARG
