The irony about it is is that we were told
by Tuchel on many occasions that he really wanted his wide players to hold the width.
And he looked at the team when it came out yesterday and it looked on paper like it would be Palmer and and Rogers basically playing as two tens behind Gerard Pedro.
But in reality Palmer played pretty wide.
Like he went on the outside loads, um obviously took up space in inside too, but he it almost felt like he wanted to prove that he can also be that kind of wide player.
Like he can take take on full backs consistently, he can use his pace to get past players.
He can be the kind
kind of wide player that Tuchel seemingly wants to play alongside Kane.
The other thing to to note is that after, as he said in his post-match interview, last last season for him was very tough, um, with injuries, and there's probably a a degree where a guy who's played a lot of football in the last three or four years of his career, after an injury hit campaign, having a summer off, you know, it's probably no coincidence that he looked incredibly sharp, and especially after a weekend where quite a lot of England players and quite a lot of players who played in the World Cup
haven't looked particularly sharp and have been cramping up and have been looking a bit off the pace.
The fact that he comes into it having had a bit of a break might have played into that um that good performance.
But um yes, I'd be surprised if you know it's it's only what, a month until England play uh Spain at Wembley in a in a full game international break.
I think it's gonna catch a few people out by surprise.
It would be a surprise if Palmer's playing like this and he's not in that squad.
I I was pretty impressed.
You know, I think the way t to go one nil down as early as they did and to still kind of come back twice, albeit thanks to to two, you know, certainly the positioning of Sanchez for the first goal was ridiculous.
Like a you know, for a pr in a Premier League game
for a player to be able to not even put it, you know, that far in the near post and still be able to score.
But the way, you know, they they dominated the ball for the most part of the game.
So I think we got an insight there.
