What are the initial thoughts on Tuchel's England squad?
Extra-rauhallisessa rentoutuessaan, Lassi totesi, että hänen tarjousvainonsa oli pettämätön. VAR.
Yhteisellä matkalla. The commentator's view on the Football Daily with Alistair Bruce Ball, John Murray and Ian Dennis.
Hello, it's the Football Daily.
How did Arsenal fans react to winning the Premier League?
I'm Ian Dennis and this is the Commentator's View where we five live commentators talk about the football, our travels and the words we use in football commentary. And today we're joined by two correspondents because John Murray and Sammy Mockbell.
What led to Pep Guardiola's departure from Manchester City?
Both at Wembley on a day when Thomas Tuchel has announced his World Cup squad of 26. Good afternoon to you both. Hello Ian.
What are the implications of Carrick being confirmed as Manchester United's head coach?
Yes, sitting right next to Sammy here. It is absolutely roasting in London. Suddenly summer's arrived. Well, I think it's like that all over the country, to be honest with you. It's been a busy week. Arsenal winning the Premier League.
What insights did Thomas Tuchel share in his interview?
Middlesbrough finding themselves in a playoff hokey-cokey with Spygate. Aston Villa winning the Europa League... Manchester City have confirmed Pep Guardiola's departure... Michael Carrick has been confirmed as the permanent Manchester United head coach... And now you two dealing with 26. What are your thoughts on the 26, Sammy?
On the face of it, I'm not sure everyone, certainly supporters probably wouldn't agree with me, but I think it's a fairly balanced squad.
Why was Ivan Toney considered a surprise selection for the squad?
People would look at the number 10 issue and say, oh, well, you've left Foden behind, you've left Palmer behind, you've left Morgan Gibbs-White behind. But what do you expect him to do? He can't pick all of them. So I guess you can argue the whys and wherefores of who he selected. But, you know, having not taken Cole Palmer or Phil Foden or Morgan Gibbs-White, I just think you just have to almost you have to trust his judgment.
What additions were made to the TCV Dog XI?
And I look at that squad. I don't see many holes in it, if I'm honest.
I mean, earlier on in the in the season, he'd said that he wasn't going to take them all, hadn't he, John? But of the ones that have been omitted, I do feel more sympathy for Morgan Gibbs-White than any other individual, I think, because of the form that he's been in. Yeah, and that was an unknown, wasn't it? Because, yes, he's been involved in the England squad under Thomas Tuchel, but it's only since the last squad that he's really stepped on. And it's 11 goals, isn't it? He's scored since February alone. And so, you know, I kind of thought that that would have persuaded Tuchel to include Morgan Gibbs-White. And, you know, let's mention Jared Bowen as well. And I think he can turn this on its head and look at the players who are selected in that position.
So Saka, Eze, Gordon, Madweke and Rashford. And I think whichever the players left out of that list, that would have been the story. You know, as Sammy says, it's going to be rough on someone. It happens to Palmer and Fordham, who I think it's generally accepted that they have not played at their best this season. And Jared Bowen, who while he's been a very good squad member for England, hasn't really hit the heights with England yet. Do you think that, and this is to both of you, you can decide who wants to answer it first. Maguire had come out and said he was shocked and he was gutted. Maguire's mum got involved as well. Do you think that that reaction has actually possibly Tuchel now thinks, well, I'm vindicated in my decision in the sense that he was never going to start as a first choice central defender?
And his mood around the camp, if he's not playing, might have brought down the chemistry within the group because he's talked a lot, hasn't he, about the energy and the connection and everybody having to buy into their roles. Do you think that was a part that? He didn't see Maguire as being as an understudy.
I think Thomas Tuchel would have looked at the last 24 hours and how Harry Maguire has reacted to his omission from the squad and feel totally justified, if I'm being totally honest. I'm not denying and no one's denying that Harry Maguire has had an excellent season at Manchester United, certainly since Michael Carrick was appointed manager or interim manager.
