Not taking Palmer is just ridiculous…he's a proven big game player and winner
One name that's gone under the radar is Harvey Barnes' omission😢😠he's done a lot more for Newcastle than Gordon has this season😢ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Think Cole's haircut got him omitted
Mr .T.Tuchel is the best Manager of time .World Cup 2026 ,Germany _ England,;Finall:1_1,,End ?_?
Its perfect
England will be on a plane back home after the Group Stage
Id have taken someone like Palmer for the X factor Altho he had a bad season… England doesn’t have any depth..I see them going out by round of 16 or quarters at best
ok but what is the conditions of this team's set piece department i mean in this team who are the proper set piece takers who's gonna be the set piece taker ?
Only Gibbs-White is the one was supposed to be picked. Decision to leave him out is mind boggling. However on the others i totally agree with him, they are not good enough this year
No Danny Welbeck is crazy work🔥🔥
Reece James is a top 2 RB in the world, if you don’t understand this your opinions are automatically invalid. Basically everything you’ve talked about is wrong, madueke is the biggest mistake, Tuchel fired in 3 months
The rest of the footballing world must be laughing, Palmer Foden, Gibbs -White! And we expect to win this World Cup! It's a joke!!
The 5 centre backs are Konza, Guehi, Stones, Burn and Quansah. What the hell is this guy talking about Quansah being cover or back up for Reece James. Tino and Spence play both right and left back so they are the only cover and back up for Reece James
I would rather lose with an Englishman than win with a forgien manager. The squad is a joke.
It is a perfect squad
Pammah is pure trash, can’t even hit targets in the past many matches. Funny how the English media kept trying desperately to still hype him up. There are so many better players that don’t get the opportunities
It’s an abysmal squad selection. England genuinely had a chance of winning the World Cup — I don’t think they do now.
Lewis Hall looks like the second best left back in the world behind Nuno Mendes.
Adam Wharton will probably start every week for Liverpool next season.
Phil Foden and Cole Palmer are in a completely different league to Noni Madueke.
I could go on and on , I’m genuinely staggered by this squad.
Thomas Tuchel has basically just said club form is irrelevant.
Is a plan by the government for tuchel to pick the worst team
As if we do well the country will get patriotic and flags will go up !
Maybe TT thinks the hot climate is a important variable for the selection? Like Toney is playing in Saudi hence he is accustom to hot weather
Cole Palmer was player of the tournament at last years club world cup in the USA surely that experience and proven ability in those conditions are a massive positive. He should be on the plane. I would have taken him instead of Madueke. England have one plan and it revolves completely on how Kane likes to play, he drops deep and he'll want runners. The forwards in wide positions have pretty simular profiles, they want to run away from the ball into space. It's very simular to how Bayern play but maybe with the fullbacks sitting more as Tuchel I think is more cautious than Kompany. I also think he's missed a trick in not bringing Colwill. his passing out of defense is excellent which will break the lines and get england going forwards, he was also part of the club world cup (i dont support chelsea). I would also have taken Maguire instead of Burns, because he has more experience and he is simply a better player. i wouldnt have taken Stones because he's not played 90 minutes since August. I would have taken Lewis Hall instead of Spence because he has been the best English left back in the premiere league and has proven himself in the champions league. Or you could take Shaw as left back great experience and playing well. Jordan Henderson is baffling I'd take Garner as an Anderson understudy or Wharton for his progressive passing.
Palmer out is criminal. They will go out of the World Cup very early
Defensively they are weak in terms of midfield they are decent and they have a great attack but the team isn't that good. France have a better attack, Spain have a better midfield, Pretty much every top nation has a better defense. England's team isn't that good it's lacking quite badly in terms of quality and depth. The only two standout players who will make a difference will be Kane and Bellingham, Rice just sideways passes can't pass forward and our defenders are average at best and we will get caught on counters and Pickford will concede like he does 9/10 times Pickford is an ok goalkeeper nothing special. and Our midfield will get outworked and outclassed by the Spanish or the French and players such as Yamal Nico Williams kvartsheklia doue barcola will easily breeze past any defense England has not to mention Kane won't even get the ball since Pickford's distribution is horrendous as displayed at the 2024 euros. Nico oreilly commits for challenges he can't win and constantly lacks the ability to make the forward passes and loses possession constantly, Geuhi makes many mistakes whether that is back passes horrendous marking or bad communication with pickford this has gone on since he has played for england we have seen this in friendlies and the euros 2024. John stones is RIDDLED with mistakes I wouldn't even risk him at the back, our wingers lack ther ability to cut inside and go for a 1 on 1 gordon is an average winger who is just as wasteful as sterling was Madeueke is average as well. The biggest problem with the team is that the entire defence is just average and they don't work well together. I have watched these players for their clubs and they do well internationally they are average players. You think Konsa and Geuhi are good enough to win the world cup? Majority of our defenders are attacking minded or play more of a midfield role and with Pickford in goal they don't stand a chance I'm telling you. Not to mention the squad depth just isn't there compared to other nations. Spain and france etc will be fresh and fit in the quarters england won't. Kane and bellingham and rice will be overworked in every game and not be effective against the big teams.
"Tooshel"
😂😂
He is the England manager, the football pundits are CERTAINLY not. His choice will be a performance issue in the USA. Stop it now, it's not your choice. What happens in the USA, then comment.
Troy Deeney is spot on!
It's not coming home. Troy has the best insights, hostilities against Arsenal notwithstanding.
Troy, is absolutely bang on
These talking heads know absolutely nothing.
With Southgate, I couldn't understand why he never played Foden and Trent, your two best creative players, in the same team.
Tuchel has solved this problem by playing neither of them.
Tuchel is a brilliant mind, i’m not an English supporter but, he’s to be trusted with in terms of decisions and tactics. That being said Morgan Gibbs-White not being taken is a decision that I sort of wish didn’t happen because he’s a very passionate and clinical player. Trent not being selected is a wild yet understandable decision he made. I wouldn’t know what to do with him if I were in that position. Morgan Rodgers I kind of doubt, I do feel like Gibbs-White could’ve been a better choice seeing how in form Gibbs-White can be
I think this team is good, skills + experience balanced.
You guys are acting surprised by the cuts but they're all underperforming and too close to injury.
Palmer hasn't put many good performances in this season and I'd say he's the best of the cuts. On a good day he's in.
It looks like he's going for explosive players with good stamina and knows egos won't need to be managed.
A great mistakes to appoint a manager as this , this is not club's levels be ready to be smashed
Gareth southgate
Two euro finals
World Cup semi
World Cup quarters
Be careful Tuchel has hidden agenda to destroy England from inside…By selecting mediocre players, his plan is to only bring England maximum finish on 16th round only…
CROATIA is gona smash England
The melt down is going to be amazing. It's clear that Tuchel has gone for who he thinks he needs rather than who the media and fans want him to take and we know how well that's worked out for them previously.
Rosters fine.. he watches the build up. If we get beat up. Let it be
Thomas Tuchel didn't pick dominic solanke, what a disgrace, reportedly he's fit for the next match, so even with an injury, he could become avaliable at the later stages of the world cup, us spurs produce such good players that play well for the team.
Roster 😂 Americans
The two England players with the most goal involvements in the Premier League this season (18) – Gibbs-White and Bowen, aren't going! Btw, Madueke has 3!
