Globalisation of sport is already happening and is inevitable with the Premier League. I'm quite happy every year we get to see NFL games in London, I don't necessarily have a huge problem if the FA decided to give the U.S. a league cup or league...
Bayern has definitely tainted Tuchel's reputation and rightfully so, but it was probably a no-win situation. Still he inherited a pretty good situation after Nagelsmann left and made it worse, but a Champions League win or final appearance will...
It is tragic that THIS is the result it probably had to take to guarantee one of the worst managers in the history of our club doesn't come back for another year.
Think some people will start touting Tuchel now, particularly if Bayern go even further in the Champions League, but I do not see him as a fit with the current ownership structure and what they are looking for in a manager at all.
Needs to be able to build a culture as well, and have demonstrated good squad management. Sure, recruitment may not be as big of a priority for our manager as it has been in the past, but we're not just searching for a tactician.
Foden will last one game before Southgate pulls him in the tournament. Absolutely no way he figures out how he and Kane can play together. This entire team looks clueless.
He looks really excellent inverting into midfield, and looks completely comfortable receiving the ball when the defence is under pressure. Going to be a really valuable player for us going forwards.
May be reading too much into this but something that I thought was quite revealing was what he said at the very start. He knew he was done at half time of the Watford game, he said to the players who wants to give this a go.. who wants to go off...
The way City played yesterday seemed devised to isolate Doku in 1v1 situations, and he did absolutely nothing. I think it is also a credit to how good Gusto was, but still he doesn't impress me that much.
