Quote from: thewobbler on March 14, 2025, 10:01:13 AMI see Thomas Tuchel has decided to tread the same path as every England manager in recent memory, and make the job more difficult than it should be.

4 goalkeepers. A burnt out Kyle Walker. A recall for Jordan Henderson, was wasn't good enough 3 years ago. A recall for Marcus Rashford, currently and properly rejected from the worst Man Utd team since the 1980s.

Why do they do this to themselves?
Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker Jesus wept. Eric Dier must be fuming.

The papers tell him too

Goalkeepers
Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, Aaron Ramsdale, James Trafford

Defenders
Marc Guehi, Reece James, Levi Colwill, Ezri Konsa, Tino Livramento, Jarell Quansah, Dan Burn, Kyle Walker, Myles Lewis-Skelly

Midfielders
Jude Bellingham, Eberechi Eze, Jordan Henderson, Curtis Jones, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Morgan Rogers

Forwards
Anthony Gordon, Jarrod Bowen, Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford, Dominic Solanke, Harry Kane



It's a bit of a hotch botch of untested young lads, old lads like Henderson and Burn who were gone or never been on in itself is strange, but how Colwill and Quansah, a bit part player at Liverpool get the call ahead of Branthwaite is beyond me.



Is Branthwaite injured or unavailable?

Because yeah, that is hard to explain. Not Colwill necessarily. But Quansah, definitely.

Gibbs-White is another weird one.

Watkins as well natural number 9 who can stretch the defence. Solanke is basically a poor mans Kane and won't run in behind defences.

Shows how detached I am from soccer these days, there's 8 players in that England squad I've never heard of.. It's as bad as the Glastonbury lineup re familiarity

Branthwaite selected on the England U21 side I see instead.

Among the injuries

Saka
Watkins
Gomez
Trent
Stones
Mainoo
Maguire
Hall
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

I thought was a yellow card for waving imaginary card and surrounding the referee? Man City getting away with it. The young Brazil should be gone on second yellow for persistent fouling.

They need Jake O'Brien for that.

Two fantastic goals for Cork man in the last few weeks.

Captain Scarlet

It's great to see him doing well. Collins got MOTM yesterday too.
For Ireland, I'd still put Dara O'Shea in there somewhere too for recovery pace.
