Ollie Watkins

I think many, certainly within the game. expected 15 year old Rooney to be top class before reaching 20. Mainly because he was the oldest looking 15 year old in history.

Until Luke Littler.

Called Luke The Nuke because he looks simultaneously like a fat man, and a little boy.

That's very good indeed.

People thought thirteen year old Wayne Rooney was going to be an England regular at sixteen? Yeah, that didn't happen.

No it didn't happen, because he didn't play for England as a 16 year old. He did get his first cap about 12months after the youth cup final though, and I suspect plenty of people who watched that game fully expected him to be an England regular before long, but one of the advantages of the old setup of pointless international friendlies is that they allowed you to do things like call up a bunch of players to see how they got on in training and then swap the entire team at half time.

With the amount Tuchel has called up, I wonder if he is looking at doing similar over the next two matches.

Picking such a big squad for this next round of games does make me think we might see 2 very different teams.

Could almost be four seperate teams over each half.
