Wild take, but I like it 😂 Can image his beam 😂😂😂

It is a wild take, but Tuchel will only be thinking about World Cup. And if Saka is the main guy on RW, he’ll probably be looking at someone who can just be a direct workhorse for the last 10 minute of games. 
 

His squads I can see being quite a bit different to what Carsley was picking.

Saw Harry Kane had 103 apps for England. How likely do people feel it is that he'll have taken the record as most capped England player by the time he retires? Will turn 32 this July, 8 matches in the WC qualifiers this year would bring him to 111 apps. If we guess there'll be three pre-WC friendlies, he'll be at 114 before the WC proper. If we give England the benefit of any and all doubt and say you get to the Final, he'd be on 122 apps when the WC is done. 3 apps away from equalling Shilton's record and 4 away from taking it for himself, but aged 33 and just having had the perfect time to announce his retirement from International football (after a theoretical WC 2026 Final). 

 

Do people think he'll stick around after the WC to try to get himself the record, even if only becoming a bit-part player in the national team set-up as, undoubtedly, whoever manages England at the time will want to bring in younger players for the upcoming EC 2028 and WC 2030 rather than gamble on an aging Kane? 

 

Weird thing to be thinking about out of nowhere, especially as a non-English person, I know :lol: But still, I wonder... 🤔

When it was announced England would be co-hosting Euro 2028, Kane said he wanted to play at that tournament.

England’s Big Dan Burn

 

I think Tuchel is actually trying to make me watch an England qualifier for the first time in about a decade

Fkin Jormans coming ower here and reigniting exiled Geordies waning interest in the national team. 
 

I didn’t vote for this like hew man…

Can't even work out if this is sarcasm :lol:

I know he’s universally hated now but he’s got quality at the top level and his Villa form is good. We lack left sided attack minded players that aren’t shoehorned into that position.

Jordan Henderson in there is ridiculous really. Other than that I think it's a decent squad to start off with.

 

Struggling to think of many great England players at the moment to be honest. Who has missed out that we think should feel unlucky?

 

Other than any English midfielder looking at Jordan Henderson of course.
