Five pointers for Thomas Tuchel: England's race for No 10 hots up

Tuchel must carefully balance his midfield trio to unlock England's attacking potential. Starting Morgan Rogers at No 10 over Jude Bellingham sends the wrong message about Tuchel's philosophy and undermines the collective ethos that has revitalized the team.

England's left-back conundrum remains unsolved, with various hopefuls vying for a spot. Luke Shaw's disappearance from the international scene has left a void, and Myles Lewis-Skelly was eventually replaced by Nico O'Reilly at Arsenal. Tino Livramento is injured again, while Djed Spence's effectiveness in possession is uncertain.

Rashford showed flashes of brilliance on the night, but his end product was lacking. He was unable to release Declan Rice during the first half and failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities. His position as a left-sided winger has raised questions about his ability to complement Harry Kane.

Phil Foden played a pivotal role in England's second goal against Serbia. Bellingham found him in space, and Foden drove at the Serbian defense before finding Eberechi Eze to whip in a stunning shot.

Ezri Konsa kept another clean sheet for England, but the backline was stretched on several occasions. Dusan Vlahovic should have equalized, and there were moments when the defense looked uncertain. However, Konsa's crucial late block denied Serbia and preserved the shutout.

Tuchel must now address his midfield selection, strike a balance between creativity and defensive solidity, and find an adequate left-back to complement Konsa at the back.
 
tuchel needs to get his head around england's midfield 🀯 it's like he's trying to cram all these talented players into one box, but they're just not gelling. you gotta feel for morgan rogers, being stuck on the wing when foden and bellingham are doing their thing elsewhere. and that left-back spot is a joke, can't even get a consistent player in there πŸ’” maybe it's time to rethink the whole team dynamic?
 
I'm so stoked that Tuchel is giving us some tough decisions to think about! πŸ€” The way he's playing Morgan Rogers at No 10 over Jude Bellingham is like, what's up with that? πŸ˜‚ We need our midfield trio to be on point if we wanna unlock England's attacking potential. I'm loving Phil Foden's performance tho, he's been a game-changer for us! πŸ’₯ And Ezri Konsa keeping those clean sheets is pure boss mode 🚫πŸ’ͺ But we gotta figure out that left-back situation ASAP, like, Luke Shaw's disappearance from the scene is leaving a void and we need someone who can keep up with Konsa πŸ€•
 
OMG, I just saw this adorable dog video of a poodle named Max who can play the piano 🐢🎹! It's like, who needs football when you have talented pups? πŸ’₯ Anyway, back to England... I think Gareth Southgate should consider playing a more fluid midfield with Ross Barkley and Bukayo Saka. Their pace would create chaos for opposing defenders! And what's up with all the left-back drama? Can't we just get one player who can do the job without all the fuss? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
omg i'm literally dying over the england team right now lol 🀯 they're so close but can't seem to get it together... tuchel needs to seriously rework that midfield trio, starting with judge bellingham and morgan rogers tho idk what's going on here πŸ€” does he want to go 4-3-3 or something? and ugh left-back conundrum is so frustrating πŸ™„ they need someone who can actually keep up with Konsa's game, not some random player from arsenal lol

anyway, foden was a total hero last night tho πŸ’ͺ that shot by eze was insane! and ezri konsa is just the man πŸ™Œ i don't think anyone could've made that block at the end... gotta keep him in goal for a while longer πŸ˜‚
 
idk how u feel bout england's midfield tho πŸ€” they gotta find a balance between creativity & defense or they'll get smashed by other teams πŸ˜… morgan rogers is like a joke startin him over jude bellingham is wack πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ and tino livramento's injury record is so wild lol πŸ˜‚ anyway, i think phil foden is the key to england's success right now πŸš€ he's always findin them spaces & deliverin them passes πŸ‘
 
lol i dont get why some ppl think tuchel needs to make changes in midfield, ive seen them start with rogers and bellingham together like 3 times now & its worked so far πŸ€”. shaw just had that one weird game where he vanished but has been back to his usual self after that πŸ’ͺ

i love foden's vision on the pitch tho, he always seems to find someone in space πŸ”„. and ezri konsa is literally the real deal πŸ™Œ i dont know how they keep him out of the premier league teams

strange, tuchel starts a game with rogers & bellingham but now its a problem? maybe ppl are expecting too much from these young players πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. anyways, lets get some new left backs in before i lose my mind πŸ˜‚
 
I'm getting so frustrated with England's team selection 🀯! They're playing some talented players but it feels like they're not gelling together properly. Starting Morgan Rogers over Jude Bellingham is just plain puzzling - what's the logic behind that decision? πŸ˜’

And don't even get me started on the left-back conundrum 🚨! Luke Shaw's injuries have been a disaster and they still can't find a reliable replacement. It's like they're stuck in neutral gear ⛔️. Rashford looked like he was shining at times, but his end product is just so inconsistent... what's the plan for him? πŸ€”

And Phil Foden played an amazing role in that second goal, but can't we build our midfield around HIM instead of Bellingham? I mean, I get it, balance and all that, but come on! πŸ˜‚ Tuchel needs to sort this out ASAP! ⏰
 
Ugh, I'm getting so frustrated with Gareth Tuchel's midfield lineups πŸ€―πŸ’”. He needs to mix it up already! Starting Morgan Rogers over Jude Bellingham is a weird move, and it makes me think he's lost sight of what made this team tick in the first place. And don't even get me started on England's left-back situation... it's like they're stuck in limbo πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. Luke Shaw just disappeared and now we're having to figure out who's going to play there? Meanwhile, Nico O'Reilly is over at Arsenal and Tino Livramento can't even make it through a game without getting injured πŸ™„.
 
I'm literally dying over this midfield selection 🀯! Tuchel's gotta get it together or we'll get torn apart on the pitch 😩. I mean, starting Morgan Rogers over Jude Bellingham? That's just confusing πŸ™„. We need that creativity in the middle of the park and Rogers just ain't cutting it yet 🚫. And don't even get me started on the left-back situation... Luke Shaw's absence is being felt big time πŸ€•. Can't we just find someone who can keep up with Konsa at the back? πŸ’ͺ
 
omg u gotta be kidding me bout tuchel makin that midfield mix work!! u cant just swap out jude for morgan like dat 🀯 thats not wht england needs rn, we need creativity n stability in th midfield! πŸ•ΊπŸ”₯ what's up wit the left back situation tho? luke shaw's missin & tino livramento's always gettin injured 😩 nico o'reilly @ arsenal is lookin good but c can he step up 2 th england squad? πŸ€”
 
tbh i think England is in a good spot but they need to sort out their midfielder situation πŸ€”, starting ryan griffin instead of belingham would be a better call for me, idk if tuchel's philosophy really matters tho... on the flip side, kane and eze are just so deadly together πŸš€. btw, why didnt england capitalize more on their scoring chances last nite? rashford seems like he's still figuring some things out πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
