And that's what we brought him in for was to do that.
So let's see how it goes.
I guess his idea that having harmony in the squad and having that squad togetherness and that feeling and understanding, and I guess not being confrontational when or if you're not going to be playing.
Henderson, I know he regards him in terms of he wants him to be his sort of general in the dressing room.
And if England are winning with 10 or 15 minutes to go, you'll see Henderson sort of come on.
Mm-hmm.
So yeah, I'm like you with a few of those decisions.
Ivan Toni, I was very surprised.
Harry Maguire can take a penalty as well.
A couple of goals today as well again.
Yeah, I do.
I think with the way he talks and the way he sort of said, well, I've had this squad and I've had players that have been with me for a while and I can rely on and I can trust and I know how they'll respond to both positive and negative news.
He has talked about that squad unity a lot.
So that was always going to be a major part of who he was going to pick and who he wasn't going to pick.
And that's all over his squad.
And there's no doubt if that England are winning with 10 or 15 minutes to go, he'll come on and do that role and to try and that's what he'll use him for, I think, is to try and protect that game.
I think we probably all know his starting line-up.
I think roughly, yeah.
If everyone's fit for the first game.
I guess it would be Pickford, James, Konsa, Gehi, O'Reilly, Anderson, Rice, Rodgers, Kane, Saka, Rashford.
