    Can I say something controversial? All of the people he could get picked ahead of - Palmer, Eze, Rogers, Bellingham are also pretty good at football. I'd take Gibbs-White ahead of Eze but it's not like he's picking Rudoni or Maddison ahead of him.

    There's room for him amongst those. It's not 1 of 10. Without even giving it much thought the WC squad had for example Madueke, Henderson and Mainoo in it - he should have been ahead of all those.

    Very much looking forward to the usual Tommy Tuchel chants tomorrow.

    People seem obsessed with the in game management of the German troll. I'm more concerned about the myriad of mistakes, including not picking the best players having cover and setting out with a game plan that won't last a summer tournament particularly without rotation, that leads to those inevitable in game management 'mistakes'.

    I'm not demonizing him because of the individual not picking MGW choice. But I cant get past all the others.

    I also would pick MGW because, though he might not get in my choice of elite tens (nor would palmer, he only really works right side), I think he can add rotation at eight or wide either side - and also a pushed up ten if you play a two (as you might when chasing a game).

    Mark this special moment as I completely agree with you.

    He's made sense a couple of times recently. I think you and I might be overdoing the pharmaceuticals a little bit.

    Its a strong argument for taking a breather.

    I see Cole Palmer has withdrawn from the squad…”load management” apparently. Sounds like Rashford is also going to withdraw due to injury.
    I wonder if they will call up Morgan Gibbs-Wh…..no me neither.

    Palmer must have some kind of injury. He didn't go the world cup and Chelsea don't even have european football this year.

    He might just think I don't give a fuck about England. He's not alone with that thought.

    Sometimes Barney Ronay writes good pieces. Other times he writes utter bilge like today's garbage about how we're all being really unfair to Tuchel and he's going to win the Euros in 2028.

    Not a chance we win the Euros as it will be impossible to defend a nil- nil lead against Spain on your six yard line for 89 minutes.

    That useless German cunt.

    Chicago: Still cross.

    No Barney. The problem is that dicks like you in journalism are so sure of your own opinions, and equally are so superficial in your analysis, that you appear to have missed the blindingly obvious in front of your eyes with the benefit of a bit of thinking. Herr Baldrick's cunning plan was based on not the best footballers, and not taking them even in the squad so that there was no alternative but to play a style of play not suited to the conditions, and no viable alternative (and insufficient possible rotation). This no plan 'b' approach led to the inevitable clusterfuck when a plan 'b' was needed. While if it had come off he might well have been lauded for his reckless genius, as it is he should be punted out of the job with a size nine lodged in his rectum.

    Now that's what I call analysis, Barney.
