Not his best half, for England, Rogers. Konsa looks sound
Quote from: ajmant on October 14, 2025, 08:25:39 PMNot his best half, for England, Rogers. Konsa looks soundI haven't seen most of the first half, but Rogers is getting into positions and being ignored mostly for other options. Has Konsa had anything to do?
Tuchel is going to have quite a few decisions to make really. England have looked a pretty coherent side over the past few games with players actually playing in their best positions. The inclusion of Henderson remains pretty inexplicable though!

The inclusion of Henderson remains pretty inexplicable though!It's not inexplicable, it's arguably unnecessary. The explanation is that the likes of Anderson, Rogers, Konsa, Spence, Lewis-Skelly, Gordon, Gibbs-White, Burn, Eze, O'Reilly, Trafford and Henderson have about forty caps between the twelve of them, so you stick someone in who's been doing it for fifteen years to hold their hand.Wouldn't do it myself, but it's not that stupid an idea in principle. If he's benching Anderson in the World Cup and playing Henderson, *that* would be inexplicable. This is pretty neutral.
