Thomas Tuchel would always do it in his own way – and his first team certainly shows that the German will not always comply with the wishes of English fans.
His predecessor, at least on a temporary basis, Lee Carsley experimented, possibly paving the way for Tuchel to choose a young, exciting team. But, instead The former Chelsea boss chose youth experience.
We need to warn this by pointing out some of the invitations are in need and simply connecting the gaps due to a long list of injuries that has deprived the new manager by several players.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, John Stones, Kobbie Mainoo and Bukayo Saka would definitely all participate if they were fit.
It’s time to reveal the first Thomas Tuchel #Threelions group! 👀🏴

Here, we look at some of Tuchel’s amazing decisions.
Goalkeepers
Nothing wrong with the names called, but four goalkeepers seem to be superfluous. James Trafford is a welcome inclusion given his form for the High-Flyers Burnley championship.
Defense
Everton’s Center-Half Jarrad Branthwaite is considered one of the best young centers in the Premier League.
For all Everton’s problems, although they seem to relax under David Moyes, Branthwaite was a lighthouse of light for Toffees fans.
Instead, Tuchel has gone for Dan Burn. Burn is a compact professional and performs a consistent basis for Newcastle every week, but he is two months shy of his 33rd birthday.
Kyle Walker has also been included despite the first half of the season in Manchester City. He has been performing regularly since he participated in AC Milan, but this seems to be another reflux of a Tottenham Djed Spence, who can also play in both full back roles.
The positive is the call of Myles Lewis-Skelly. The teenager was a distinctive Arsenal this season and, we hope that it may be the answer to the long -term problems of the three lions on the left back.
Middle section
The integration that opens the eyes is that of Jordan Henderson. It was believed that England had proceeded with the former Liverpool captain, who is now playing for Ajax after a short spell in Saudi Arabia. But the 34 -year -old received the nod over Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace and Conor Gallagher of Atletico Madrid.
This seems surprising given Wharton’s form for the Palace in the Premier League while Gallagher was excellent against Real Madrid In the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Morgan Gibbs-White, a key man in the nottinging era of Nottingham Forest, also loses.

Attack
Fewer surprises here, although it is believed that the absence of Ollie Watkins is due to an injury suffered by playing for Aston Villa against Club Brugge on Wednesday night.
Marcus Rashford has been sparkled since he left Manchester United for the villa, but Phil Foden has gone in the opposite direction and can measure himself lucky to be included.
Saka’s injury paved the way for Ethan Nwaneri to appear as a genuine star in Arsenal. Despite his recent appearances, however, he has not done enough to convince Tuchel, is worth a place.
