Might as well make a thread for them.

 

Henderson must be the Robbie Blake of the changing room

Madness.

Surely he won't take Watkins now?

He'll have Rashford in who can play 9 as well as Toney. Can't see him taking all 3 with Kane, especially as Bellers or Rogers will probably be in and around Kane.

Sounds like hes in. So 3 strikers. 

Toney will be fresh and rested from playing exhibition games for a season

2 seasons now

I get taking players 'in form' but there has to be some consideration to how your form might be impacted playing for a complete basket case of a club.

There's no way Cole Palmer is a worse option off the bench than Noni Madueke. And no club on earth would take Jordan Henderson over Adam Wharton.

 

Palmer's just quality 

And what I like about him is that he never seems overawed by the occasion, which would be useful if we made it to the latter stages

It'd be madness if he's not included

Tin hat on… there’s a lot of Saudi investment in this World Cup. Can imagine they’re a powerful enough force to have some sway on players in their league being selected to play on the biggest stage. 
 

Or he’s there for for penalty shootouts…

Gibbs white also missing by all accounts

If he is basing selection of form John Stones can not go can he ? Played 8 times in the league this season, 11 last season . 
 

Henderson is baffling. 
 

 

No Trent 

Lewis Skelly rumoured in

I think with Tuchel if you're out, you're out

Henderson and Mainoo over Wharton.

Madueke over Palmer.

A host of random defenders over a proven tournament player in Maguire.

No Gibbs White after the season he's had.

Ivan Toney being anywhere near.

Tuchel is a lunatic.

Jed Spence?!

No Lewis Hall either.

Fuckers lost the plot.

How can Gibbs-White not go if Palmer and Foden aren't?

Palmer can change a game ffs

who thought it would be a good idea to employ a kraut

bring back sir gareth

Toney doesn't make sense considering

Toney has played just two minutes of international football since Euro 2024, and was not included in the last four of Tuchel's squad.

Toney's only appearance under Tuchel was a two-minute cameo against Senegal in June 2025.

Greenwood streets ahead of toney and watkins

Aye, could argue he's streets ahead of Saka and Rashford as well. 

But he's a little rat, rapist, wanker. So, rightfully, will never wear an England shirt again. 

Danny Welbeck should have been included.

I Hope no One Has 

Backed us to 

Win It

Hes minged out hasn't he, It's a decision solely based on our obsession with pens, he's been playing in a pub league for 2 years. Welbeck should have been in front of him who has been impressive in a top league all season.

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, James Trafford;

Defenders: Reece James, Tino Livramento, Nico O'Reilly, Djed Spence, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi, John Stones, Jarell Quansah, Dan Burn;

Midfielders: Declan Rice, Elliott Anderson, Jordan Henderson, Kobbie Mainoo, Jude Bellingham, Morgan Rogers, Eberechi Eze;

Forwards: Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Gordon, Ivan Toney, Harry Kane, Ollie Watkins

I'd have Maguire, Wharton and Palmer in for Burn, Henderson and Madueke without a second thought.

Too many United players in that for my liking
