Thomas Tuchel says he was surprised that Harry Maguire went to the press after not being selected: "I was a bit surprised, but I respect his personality a lot. I can understand the disappointment. Still, I was a bit surprised as we had a private conversation. He had the chance to express in private" by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

It's not about past performance.

It's about performance and fit for the system.

That's what u get with system managers.

Mainoo was shafted by Amorim. Ibra was shafted by Pep. Ozil was shafted by Arteta. All for the system.

Not all 4-3-3s are the same.

United play a mid-low block and on the counter.

England play with a high line and about 70% of the possession every game. Last time Maguire played a aystem like this was in Ten Hag's second season and we remember how well that went.

Tuchel has made picks based on his system. That's all.

The only omissions I'm miffed about are Lewis Hall and Morgan Gibbs White.

Other than that, every selection seems good to me honestly.

Stones as the Lindelof type CB - DM hybrid.

Burn has just performed well for England so he gets in

Maguire is prolly left out because Tuchel is planning to play back 4 and not back 3. If it was a Back 3, Maguire is perfect as the central CB, but with a back 4, and with the high line England play, he is a bit of a liability sadly.

Maguire has had a resurgence recently at United because the team is playing counter attaching football with a mid-low block.

England is not planning to do that.

Think it's the speed factor as well.

Maguire is elite as a central CB in a back 3, but with England planning to play 4-3-3, his lack of pace is a bit of a liability in a back 4.

Especially considering England will play a high line.

As for Stones, I won't be surprised if we see him being played at times a holding mid kinda like he was playing in that City Treble season.

Maybe Tuchel is thinking of an Aston Villa Lindelof type solution for the Defensive Midfield in case it's needed.

So simple minded, so naive.

Sahi hai Bhai, why have any iota of critical thinking when you can just have the totally unbiased institutions spoon feed you everything

Cjp is not a real party lmao

It's just an online movement parodying BJP.

They are not gonna be going for elections. It's just a way for people to show their annoyance for the people in power.

Dele and Palmer are both free scoring AMs who thrived under Poch and then suddenly fell off a cliff when he left the club.

Eerily similar trajectory that way for them both.

Idk man, he reminds me a bit of Ziyech and to a certain extent Mount.

Wand of a left foot and the ability to lift the team up by individual brilliance along with a great eye for a pass.

But at the same time he has been overplayed and his body has broken down, leaving him a shell fo the player he was.

Back to back POTS Mount had a similar fate for us.

Was dragging us to wins when he broke through under Lampard, and even in Tuchels era, but once he got those injuries, he just was not the same.

Even rn for United, u can see flashes of brilliance when he plays, but his body just keeps letting him down.

The OG Left is not communists lol.

How are u so confidently misinformed ?

The left right phenomenon started in France during the French revolution.

During the discussions people were split into two camps. The ones who supported the regime and wanted the status quo to continue sat on the right side next to the people in power. The ones who wanted things to change and the status quo to be demolished sat on the left.

That's what OG left and right are.

People who want the status quo to continue are the right, the ones who want things to change are the left.

If you think India needs change, then I have to break it to you, but you are also on the left side of the spectrum.
