Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

He has been struggling with one, but yeah, a great shame for young Tino.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

But he'll be back at another tournament, you would certainly hope so.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

And he's been replaced by Trevor Shallum.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

yeah he has which is an interesting one isn't it because he's Travis Chalabar is not a fullback so it's interesting that well I think the way that they like to build up you know we're expecting this sort of Tuchel in the build up I know there's all these phases of play and so on but England to kind of adopt a sort of de facto sort of back three yeah if you see what I mean it could be Anderson dropping in there

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

But if it is a case of actually he wants one of his fullbacks to stay, you know, Chalabar can do that.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

I think Chalabar will be low down the pecking order, hence he wasn't in the original squad.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

But he's a player that Tuchel knows, and he's also tall.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

He knows him, he's tall, and with Thomas Tuchel, that's two of the big three things that he clearly wants in his England players.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

The only thing I would say, yeah, with Tuchel is this plan we're talking about and what he wants out of his fullbacks.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

I think Spence can provide that.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Better at right back, but, you know, obviously knows how to play the other side as well and is pretty comfortable with that.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

It's just a case that England really now have three fullbacks in the whole squad.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

I know Dan Byrne can go there.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

I know Esri Konca can go there.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

But from what he's going to demand from his fullbacks...

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

they are not the specialists that he talks about.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Now, perhaps he thought, he clearly doesn't want Alexander-Arnold in the squad.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

People can talk about that.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

But as I say, look, the squad is the squad and that's that.

Football Ramble
England Preview: Thomas Tuchel’s tall boys | 2026 FIFA World Cup

You know, no point in going over old ground on the day England are going to kick off their World Cup campaign.
