‘I tell you what. If Tuchel took over this England team for the World Cup they would have a really chance,’ one fan wrote. ‘He knows all the players so well and the right players for his system which is so good in cup competitions.’
Another bluntly wrote: ‘Sack Southgate. Hire Tuchel. England become good. Simple.’
Others made reference to the German’s impressive trophy haul across his career by saying: ‘Sack Southgate & get cup specialist Tuchel in for the World Cup’.
‘Hey @England, it’s not too late to bin of Southgate & get Thomas Tuchel in,’ wrote one fan who tagged the official national team Twitter account.

The Three Lions are now winless in their last five games, their longest drought in eight years.
Criticism on this scale will be alien for a manager who has taken England to the latter stages of the both of the major tournaments he has led them in, but the Three Lions’ recent form has been concerning.
