Damien Delaney

And that narrative seems to have set.

And obviously Tuchel had the issue when he didn't recall him straight away.

And I think that was a power move from Tuchel just to say, you're not guaranteed anything here.

You know, you'll come back into the squad when I say you come back into the squad.

And when you come back in, you're going to toe the line.

And maybe that did get him under control a little bit.

But we did, me and Dave McIntyre did the Costa Rica game in the last friendly.

And Harry Kane was one of the first subs to come off.

And immediately he gave the captain's armband to Jude Bellingham, which I thought was very interesting because I thought to myself, if he's this type of character that we've all led to believe that he is, there was other players on the pitch that you could easily have handed the armband to.

And Harry Kane gave it to Jude Bellingham, which I thought was very, very interesting, you know, because you wouldn't do that if...

players in the squad felt like, this fella's hard work, you know, he's a Mayfairner, he just thinks about himself and Jesus, you know, every team meeting, he's got something to say and it always revolves around him and why he wasn't able to do things.

You know, there's no way you would walk up to him and hand him the captain's armband in the last game.

So again, we're just working off the revise of the reports.

Who knows any of those are true, you know, and I think when you look at him celebrating the goals as well, he does seem part of that squad.

So I just question if that narrative is accurate.

Yeah, I had a good start.

I mean, Birmingham did retire his jersey at 15.

I don't know.

We're on the only outside looking in, but I would be a big watcher of body language.

You know, how your teammates behave towards you, how you are in the goal celebrations, how you are when goals go in.
