@andy_cov93 @mdejongofficial Yep, I would pick James as first choice, but if he’s not available then surely Trent has to be next pick.

@YorkshireFests @mdejongofficial Trent should be miles clear of Spence
English
Every single time I think I’m starting to warm to Tuchel he comes out with something.
No Trent, Bellingham can’t get a sniff and after a great display Friday he now says Maguire is behind Chalobah who’s played ONE friendly for England, where our defence got murdered.

🚨 NEW: Thomas Tuchel warns Harry Maguire he's still behind several rivals & may need injuries before he goes to World Cup 🗣️ "I see other players ahead with a different profile" 👇 Full story as Tuchel NAMES those ahead of Man Utd defender dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…
English
@andy_cov93 @mdejongofficial Tuchel seems his own man to sometimes the point of extremes. Trent and Maguire both don’t make starting 11 but are surely way ahead of some of the others in front of them.
English
@mdejongofficial There’s own stamp then there’s being daft
Maguire has huge experience of knockout tournament football, that counts enormously

@monkeyhead78 @Trin1873 @AwayDaysFB It’s awful, should have done a cool collab with an iconic British act ala bohemians and it would flown out.

@Trin1873 @AwayDaysFB Now, if it had an image of someone hanging a flag on a lamppost…..

My word this is impressive. Got to be one of the best we’ve ever seen 🤔🏴

@LindPlay5 @SebOnFootball Also came to Leeds and couldn’t get a game in front of 16 year old midfield Archie gray
English
@SebOnFootball Spence is a weird one, 3 spurs managers didn’t want to use Spence, and was only needed due to injuries last season. Porro and Udogie are first choice this season. Spurs have been poor too.
Honestly don’t know how spurs second choice full back gets a call up. No offence.
English
Djed is such a good player, but this obsession with playing him LB is gonna hurt him.
Jamie Raynor@JamieRaynor
Nothing specific on Djed Spence, but in general terms you will never convince me that a full-back should play with the opposing dominant foot to side their on. A left-back should be left footed, a right-back should be right footed.
English
@ADStedman @DavidHindmarsh7 @PremiershipYrs Won same number of leagues as Leicester under Klopp. Points mean absolutely nothing if you ain’t winning the league. Nobody recalls who came second. Unlucky to hit prime Man City but can’t be one of best teams ever with so few trophies.
English
@YorkshireFests @DavidHindmarsh7 @PremiershipYrs Almost all of those teams scored far fewer points than when Klopp's LFC finished *second*.
English
Jordan Henderson is a painfully limited footballer who's managed to make himself valuable mainly by yelling at much better players than himself, telling them what they should do, often things he can't or doesn't do.
Oh and he's a "great lad to have around the place" 👍

@megha_lilly @1000HolyPlaces Paris is a more beautiful city, but Rome has more wow factor moments.
English
Rome is better than London or Paris. Leagues and bounds better. And I’ve spent considerable time in all three places.

It’s crazy how there really is no other city in Europe that’s the same calibre as London and Paris

@rocknriff88 @AlbusFerros @skintyromance I mean at this point the arctic numpties are probably more fun live than the real band. Also see clone roses as well
English
@AlbusFerros @skintyromance Bands love tribute bands.. I’ve never once seen a single band who dislikes the idea and concept. They find it humbling. Once again why this isn’t worth an argument.
English
@leightonread8 @EnglandExtra This is where I am at as well, fair enough when he’s behind prime walker, trippier and James. When those 3 are out there is no way he isn’t better than the others
English
@EnglandExtra So in a World Cup final you’d have rather have either of Livramento and Spence instead of him?
English
Apart from his penalty against Switzerland, can anyone tell me what Trent has done in his 34 England caps to warrant such hyperbolic opinion about him missing out?
Southgate, Slot, Xabi Alonso and Tuchel have worked with him every day & have all had some level of issue with him
Henry Winter@henrywinter
Still can’t believe that England are going to the World Cup without arguably their best passer. Watching fringe candidates labour at Wembley highlights even more the nonsense of Alexander-Arnold’s omission. He’s a game-changing option from the bench. If you have pace out wide in Gordon/Rashford and Saka/Madueke/Bowen and want to launch a quick counter, TAA can deliver. If England are in a shoutout, he can deliver. Risk/reward. #ENG

@JamieRaynor @SthYorksBantams The difference been that Irwin was happy crossing with his left foot
English
Nothing specific on Djed Spence, but in general terms you will never convince me that a full-back should play with the opposing dominant foot to side their on. A left-back should be left footed, a right-back should be right footed.

even when I was drinking, I found that wine overwhelmed the meal. The only good booze and food combination is Cobra with a curry - almost unfeasibly good
Sam Bowman@s8mb
I’m sorry to say this, but I just do not get wine and food. I like wine, and I like food, but I don’t see how they go together. A cold glass of water is always a more refreshing accompaniment to a meal for me.
English
@DavidHindmarsh7 @ADStedman @PremiershipYrs In the last 20 years we’ve had pep’s Man City, the invincibles, 2 different era’s of fergies Man U, mourinho’s chelsea. Klopp’s team are below all of these. This is just in the last 20 years.
English
@YorkshireFests @ADStedman @PremiershipYrs 90+ points 3 times & 3 Champions League finals is definitely one of the best teams ever🤷♂️
English
@ADStedman @PremiershipYrs One of the greatest teams in English history is a very very strong reach for a team who won one league title.
English
@PremiershipYrs 'Painfully limited' *trophy-laden captain* of one of the greatest teams in English football history?
English
@Alex_Niven @AndyClark22 They were definitely a time and place band, and were shambolic live and in the mess a lot of great tunes got forgotten. But their last album was really good and they’re very slick live these days
English
@AndyClark22 Fair enough. I just struggle to think of any of their tunes that are very memorable/striking, apart from Can’t Stand Me Now (a rule proving exception). This isn’t a criticism of them being derivative/retro, more that they were a vibes/scene proposition rather than a musical one
English
Always kind of thought the Libertines were the Oasis of the 00s: a band older music heads thought were embarrassing, but if you were the right age you got it. Maybe that’s true, but hard to see that the actual music (bar one or two so-so party tunes) will have any sort of legacy
katie@pipterino
God they were rubbish
English
@PDBertram @brucemillington But if you asked people to pick even englands second choice 11 most of these would be nowhere near it. Feels more like a trial match for those on edge of squad
English
Given how close we are to the World Cup this selection is completely insane. Has Tuchel actually been watching any football? I wouldn’t start any of these in a meaningful match and wouldn’t have a lot of them in the squad. Tuchel out.

@JordMuckley @matt0768 @TheRockRevival_ I think that’s the point, it’s a lineup for their audience not audience who went in 2000., the headliners are probably the biggest 6 current acts in the uk, especially for those under 25, especially Raye, Dave, Fontaines and Charli.
English
@andrewhdonohoe @KingGary1234 @conor_brn 100% verve were not shit, they were a very good bands, and prob the bar was a lot higher than some of the landfill indie that came in the 00’s
English
@YorkshireFests @KingGary1234 @conor_brn Oh absolutely they were the standouts, just think 97 era Verve weren't shit as you suggested. Not exceptional, definitely, but good
English
@andrewhdonohoe @KingGary1234 @conor_brn Everyone has heard of them, and rightly so, but the point I was badly making is in that era blur and oasis were the standout bands, whereas in the libertines brief era they were the standout band
English
English
@neuralinked3 @RabT_95 They came off the back of the strokes, but were just as influential in the uk at least. They seem very much a time and place band
English
@RabT_95 Always thought they were a crap version of the Strokes.
English
Getting a lot of heat, this. A poor live take of one of the weaker tracks on their first two albums. The Libertines were class.
Batfox Pictures@Batfox_Pictures
Later… with Jools Holland in 2002 features The Libertines as they deliver “Boys in the Band”, released on Up the Bracket that same year. One of the defining tracks from their debut, it captured the raw energy of their early rise.
Glasgow, Scotland 🇬🇧 English
@KingGary1234 @conor_brn I like the verve, good band but didn’t stand out in that era. Libertines however were the band of that early 00’s era.
English
@valeriox025 @FootballEra_ As a Leeds fan I can easily say he’s a Harrods Daniel Farke. All offensive players go backwards, risk free football but great structure especially defensively
English
@FootballEra_ Fans blamed the players, but Auba and Laca were scoring under Emery and declined under Arteta same with Martinelli. It points to tactics: Arsenal rely on being efficient with limited chances, and that’s not sustainable.
English
It’s simple, if the Gerd Müller Trophy winner, who scored 100+ goals in two seasons is barely getting shots off in your system but is doing so in every other system, then the problem is you, not him.
