He’s been very poor. I don’t know what the score with his chin strap is, but is he normally this bad or has had his confidence smashed by whatever smashed his face? |  |

Liam Delap smashed his face in. Spurs fans seems to like Spence going forward, but think he's a liability at the back. Which seems reasonable enough watching him play. |  |

Exactly this. TAA spent his entire career with two of the world’s biggest most successful clubs while Spence has been fighting relegation with Spurs. Very odd decision. |  |

Tbh I don't think he's good either defensively or going forwards. |  | |  |

Which is fine if you don't pick either on defensive ability. But to pick one, and the poorer one at that... |  |

I would also say that Cole Palmer & Danny Welbeck should have been there instead of Toney and Madueke. Palmer has the ability to change a game. I know he has been off form towards the end of the season, but he is a genuine game changer. Whenever Welbeck is on the pitch, something happens with England. Closest thing we have to Kane. Really not sure what Tuchel was thinking. |  |

Yeah, ridiculous decision. Makes no sense |  | |  |
| No Spence, James or Livramento tonight on 00:44 - Jul 6 with 750 views | armchaircritic59 | The curious thing is, TT has been banging on about getting crosses in. TAA is the best crosser of a ball from different areas of the pitch that we have by far. Yes we all know defensively he isn't the greatest, but then neither are any of those we've got out there! |  | |  |
| No Spence, James or Livramento tonight on 12:24 - Jul 6 with 628 views | Ryorry | I wasn't a fan of Tuchel's appointment when it was made, but he was certainly proved right in his selections & tactics last night v Mexico. That battling win came from the players' individual and collective passion; and their great team spirit, defensive as well as attacking performance, covering each other & putting their bodies on the line. |  |

Some of us were saying he was wrong before k/o, hence my downvote several hours beforehand. |  |

Hopefully we'll find out what his thinking was at some point in the future. I'm sure there was good logic for making the decision he did. I tend to be one of those who is happy to assume that the manager knows a whole lot more about the players and the dynamics than i do so happy to let them get on with it. (And that's not a dig at you R!) |  |

Someone (can't remember who, sorry) said a few days ago that England managers get criticised for picking 'big name' players instead of those in form and/or their being placed into the team to create a cohesive unit. But when another manager then picks in-form players, & tries to create a balanced team working as a unit which necessitates big names being dropped - they get criticised for that too! #CantWinWhateverTheyDo re universal fan approval. (No worries btw :) ) |  |
