Not his best half, for England, Rogers. Konsa looks sound

I 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?

Guessand is playing for Ivory Coast in their final World Cup group qualifier. They're 1 0 up v Kenya; a win will guarantee qualification.

He hasn’t done anything wrong….but not enough. If that’s makes sense.

Armenia down to 10 men. Crazy headbutt on Finn Azaz.

Brilliant recovery tackle from Ezri. Admittedly to make up for his positional error.

Ball was lost high up and a fast pass was always happening. Yes maybe be in a position to cut it out but hard to do but the tackle had to be perfection and it was.

4-0 with an OG and Rogers is subbed.

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!

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.

It would help others gain experience if they played rather than keep bringing Henderson on in games that have already been won.

They've just made the point in commentary that Tuchel wants to have some experienced players around the camp.to drive standards, which I suppose is understandable in some ways. 

It would make more sense if he was starting as I can't see too much point in him coming on in games like this.
