Yeah.

You know, the team doesn't really get relegated like...

I think Spence is basically, whether you agree if this is true or not, but his sort of thing is being a lockdown defender, right?

Like incredibly quick, good footwork.

And I basically think if we play against an Mbappe or someone, that's where he might use Spence.

I think Tuchel is obsessed with Harry Kane and understandably so.

In that front line, it's all about the fit with Kane.

And if he's dropping deep, which he does very naturally, occupying the centre-backs, how do you make the most of that where you need people penetrating in behind?

I think hopefully he's coming into it physically in much better shape.

I mean, the confidence that he's playing with at the moment is just ridiculous.

So I think, you know, I'm broadly in agreement with how Tuchel's trying to build the team tactically.

You know, it'll be really interesting in the number 10 role because I think Rodgers and Kane have started to develop a nice relationship throughout the qualifiers because Bellingham was absent, he was injured.

So now that he's back and available, it does feel like it's either Bellingham or Rodgers starting.

That's going to be a huge... I don't think many people have really cottoned on to that still in the wider media.

Like, that...

the media are going to turn that into a massive thing.

And so Tuchel's ability to handle that, we talked about how honest he is in press conferences, I love it, but it makes me wince a little bit.

After the Wales friendly at Wembley, he basically moaned about the poor atmosphere, and it felt like a shot at the fans.

But anyone who goes to England games at Wembley, A, they know what to expect atmosphere-wise, and B, they know that all the factors that go into the poor atmosphere, it is not the individual fans' fault, it's because of how difficult it is to get there, how expensive it is.

So he's already said a few things that make me somewhat concerned about how he's going to cope with it.
