Surprise Detachment while Tuchel opting for veterans over young people

Thomas Tuchel should always do this in his own way – and his first team certainly shows that German will not always be in line with the wishes of English fans.

His predecessor, at least temporary, experimented by Lee Corda, potentially twisted the way for Tuchel to choose a young, exciting team. But instead, Former Chelsea chief opted for the experience of young people.

We should warn this, pointing out that some of the calls were beyond needs, and they only included gaps because of a long -lasting list of injuries that took away the new manager from several players playing.

The characters of Trent Alexander-Arnold, John Stones, Kobbie Mainoo and Bukayo Saka would surely be included if they are appropriate.

Here we look at some of Tuchel’s surprising decisions.

Goalkeepers

Nothing bad in the named names, but four goalkeepers look unnecessary. James Trafford is a welcome involvement given its form for the Burnley High Flight Championship.

Defense

Jarrad Brathwaite Everton-Pol is considered to be one of the best young central funding in the Premier League.

For all Everton problems, although they seem to alleviate under David Moyes, Branthwaite was a beacon of light for Toffeses fans.

Instead, Tuchel went for Dan Burn. Burn is a solid professional and is consistently performed every week for Newcastle, but for two months she is shy at his 33th birthday.

Kyle Walker is also on despite the tumultuous first half of the season in Manchester City. He has been performing regularly since he joined AC Milan, but this seems to be another regressive selection in front of Tottenham’s grandfather Spence, who can also play in both roles of full backs.

It is a positive call of Myles Lewis-Skelly. The teenager is highlighted for Arsenal this season and, hopefully, he can be a response to the long problems of three lions in the left back.

Midfielder

Eyes of Jordan Henderson’s eyes. It was thought that England had passed from former Liverpool captain, who is now playing for Ajax after a short magic in Saudi Arabia. But the 34-year-old got nodded to Adam Wharton and Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid Crystal Palace.

It seems to be a surprise given the Wharton’s form for the Palace in the Premier League while Gallagher was great against Real Madrid In the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Morgan Gibbs-White, a key man in the extraordinary season of Nottingham Forest, is also missing.

Attack

There are fewer surprises here, although Ollie Watkins’ absence is assumed due to the injury he sustained on Wednesday night by playing for Aston Villa against Club Brugge.

Marcus Rashford has been shining since leaving Manchester United because of the villa, but Phil Foden has moved the other way and can be fortunate to be on.

Saka’s injury tucked the way to Ethan Nwneri to appear as a true star in Arsenal. Despite recent performances, however, he did not do enough to convince Tuchel that he deserved a place.
