With a little over a year to go ahead of a World Cup Thomas Tuchel has been hired to win, it was heartening to hear him draw a line in the sand in term of how he will approach matters of club versus country. In terms of some of his actual selections, the England manager's logic is not always quite as easy to follow.
Tuchel admitted at a morning press conference at Wembley that he had considered leaving those players involved in next month's Club World Cup out of the squad for a qualifier against Andorra and a friendly against Senegal at the start of June.
