England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

That's the key, and with Wharton and Scott. It's all well and good getting new names in the squad, but he has the perfect opportunity to give the new guys some game time. The games will still be competitive as both opponents still have something to play for, so a much better opportunity than friendlies.

 

Knowing Tuchel Henderson will get minutes before Scott.

 

Most exciting squad we've had in years. With the potential for the likes of palmer madueke trent etc to come back as well. We've really got incredible depth

 

Madueke is the only one of those who will go to the World Cup.

 

Trafford must be really fuming with Man City now. Joined them, thought he N.1 and now has ended up N.2 and out of the England squad for a goalkeeper a lot of people don’t think is England quality.

 

Scott in! At least those pesky Welsh won't be able to snaffle him. Rover will be pleased.

 

Albania game will be a dead rubber if we beat Serbia. It will still be competitive for them because they play in front of a passionate home crowd.

 

You’re still ruling Palmer out if he’s back playing and fit??

 

Just have a feeling he might miss out.

 

There’s a lot to like about this squad selection, only issue is back up to Kane but I’m all for having an experiment with a false 9, Bellingham can play that role if needed and others to like Foden.

 

Only if Albania beat Andorra. If they don’t then Serbia could overtake them by beating Latvia if they lose to us.

 

Henderson is going to the World Cup if he's fit. It's really time to make peace with that fact.

Also I don't see any way we go to the States with only Kane as an out and out forward, so this squad is as it is so he can look at other options in midfield patently. And when Tuchel says look he means as much in camp and in training as he does minutes on the pitch.

 

Albania will beat Andorra. That's not even worth discussing.

 

You’d assume that but Andorra have been good at defending this year and haven’t had a thrashing.

 

I don't mind Henderson going as long as we see the likes of Wharton involved

 

They also haven't kept a clean sheet in this qualifying campaign.

 

"The perfect time to reward him and get to know him." 🙌

Completely inconsequential and unimportant, but the way they lay out the squad in the announcement bugs me.

Bellingham and Rogers put with the central midfielders. I know that No 10 is a midfield position but I always think of it as an attacking role really. And, yes, I know Bellingham has played deeper before but I don't think any of us think that's what he's in the squad for, particularly with Scott and Wharton in there.

 

Understand Welbeck was very close to a recall … will hear from Thomas Tuchel at 11am. https://t.co/asQplQ4wwE

Hope Welbeck gets in if an attacker pulls out.

 

Thomas Tuchel says it was a “no brainer” to re-call Jude Bellingham. Says of Bellingham and Phil Foden: “We will have central roles for both of them to bring out the very best.”

Didn't he start the Atletico game? It's not like he's been frozen out of the team.

 

This is brilliant. See you soon, @AlexScott_7! ❤️pic.twitter.com/wucwk9ewY6
