I can’t believe everyone accepts Phil Foden doesn’t start for England.

I hope Phil rips the shit out of this season and shuts everyone up.

Stones and Guehi at CB? With Konsa as 1st replacement? Issue is we don't have much depth after that - someone like Dan Burn will get spitroasted by France or Spain's attack.

Yeah I doubt Foden will be in the 1st XI but can come on and do a job. O'Reilly's spot to lose I reckon.

Something like that. Were are ok defensively, particularly defending crosses and long balls, but Burn doesn't offer very much when on the ball.
I was surprised how Wharton and Rice were ineffective when Tuchel pushed John into MF - he was doing some things as manager you would be excused thinking Pep is managing us.

 

[waspish]

Not realistic unless Rodders is leaving in the summer.

Listened to Tuchel intervies on tS, finally we have a manager who really knows what he is doing.

I think we pretty much know the first eleven, unfortunately Phil is not among them, but John and Nico definitely are.

Yep foden Bellingham super subs

Tuchel seems really happy with the job. I like that he doesn't appear to give a fuck who he upsets.

Interesting that on the BBC website giving the public ratings make Bellingham the lowest rated player. Confirms the public are better judges than the supposed media experts

Had a quick search ‘Bellingham’ on Twitter and apart from the usual talking heads rimming him it’s pretty much to man that he’s a big headed **** whos nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Amazing what a better manager does. These look a lot of levels above what we showed under Southgate.

But apparently it’s a piss easy group and we’ll just get knocked out by someone better at the next major. Not allowed to be positive.

With Rice, often he takes up more of an 8 role for Arsenal with Zubimendi in the 6 and/or one of the defenders inverting.

Today Bellingham was getting in everyone's way playing as an 8 and a 10 and there seemed to be genuine confusion as to what the heck was going on. So when Stones inverted into a 6 role, Wharton was probably thinking he wanted to push forward but Bellingham was there and Rice likewise. There were a couple of moments when Bellingham actually passed for once but delayed so much that Rice was offside. There seems to be a big lack of chemistry and connection there and that's a worry.

We’d love him to but he’s not going to and I’d much prefer Rogers over bellingham.

Mate, loads on here like what Tuchels doing. We want entertainment and it’s a mile better then that absolute turgid shite southgate served up.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

"Jude Bellingham has been superb this evening - hunting down balls even when he's lost them...."

in any rational broadcasting company that is a sackable sentence from Splatterface

The Telegraph gave him 8/10, Express 3/10. I think my assessment would be somewhere in between, maybe 3 and a half. His attitude being subbed said it all, he missed a sitter, got booked, failed to pass to people in better positions, etc etc. He is like C.Ronaldo without the talent.

Its not really a worry. We know how to fix it. Drop Bellingham. Fixed.

Everyone on the BBC comments was saying he is a tit

Hopefully Kane beats Shilton's appearance record, Shilton must have got 30 extra caps when he was dogshit and completely finished

Shilton should have had an extra fifty caps that were given to Clemence as he was so much better.

He upsets me by selecting Jordan Henderson, Bellend and Rogers above the most talented English player of the last 40 years.

Well...he doesn't give a fuck.....lol.

 

[incred]

Bellingham, the new Beckham.

 

[1961_vintage]

Tuchel said the other night that he has thought of other solutions to a Kane injury, but doesn’t want to make them public.

It’ll be Slabhead up front though.

PWF false 9 probably.

You putting Foden above Gazza? Scholes? Lampard? Gerrard? Come on now.
