Think it's Tuchel stamping his authority. Henderson and Rashford in my opinion should be nowhere near the squad ,the only surprise is he hasn't picked one of his old mates Mason Mount which he probably concedes is stretching it a bit , but there's still time.Foden had a difficult season last year but seems to be on the way back. Confidence is higher and he looks to be enjoying his game again. Personally, I think the last thing he needs now is to land back in this shitshow system where he never gets the ball despite running his nuts off all match. England lose, the media hacks do the usual hatchet job on any City player involved. England win when ball goes in off Bellingham's arse in 90th minute, praise the Lord for giving us St Bellend. Stay away Phil, it's not worth it.

Much as I rate Phil, in 45 caps for various reasons hasn't hit his club form and the anti City media don't help.
First thing I thought of when I saw it: Turn him down, Nico, turn him down. Club before country and all that.Nico in the form of his life.
I hope the squad don't Foden him.
There's always a place for a three yard backward pass in any game of footy!How the hell is Henderson still getting into this squad?
It's embarrassing

He’s been pretty good this season to be fair and he’s playing regularlyHow the hell is Henderson still getting into this squad?

Yeah I'm getting really excited , hoping we might see Hendo Jude and Harry all starting.Really exciting England squad. With some top quality players. Great to see foden back and players like Wharton and Scott getting a call up
Bloody hard with Kane invading his space and Bellend refusing to acknowledge he is on the pitch. Will be interesting to see what Tommy does about that if anything.I do like Tuchel's press conferences, he's very upfront, describes exactly where he envisions the players playing and doesnt bullshit when giving readon why a player is included or omitted.
He described Bellingham as a pure 10 and foden as a 9/10 hybrid that has to play centrally and not as a winger. That part was pleasing to hear, at least he gets it unlike waistcoat, however Phil should be the 8 for England.
I dont think having Kane as the 9 helps foden either, Kane doesnt make forward runs, he drops in deep right into fodens position so foden has got nobody to supply and has Kane eating into the space he wants to be in, he'd be much better if he had a Watkins or even dare i say it, rashford ahead of him to stretch the space for him. Just can't see Phil playing well in that team, he needs to find some arrogance, make a game all about him, show how good he is and force the manager to make him more of a focal point to the attack but I don't see him doing that sadly.
I strongly doubt all 3 will be on the pitch at once. It'll be Kane with either Bellingham or Rogers behind starting then foden will come on for any of those 3 at some point.Bloody hard with Kane invading his space and Bellend refusing to acknowledge he is on the pitch.

I may well be wrong but I don't believe Phil will thrive with either of them in the team. Lets see.I strongly doubt all 3 will be on the pitch at once. It'll be Kane with either Bellingham or Rogers behind starting then foden will come on for any of those 3 at some point.
