Is there always such debate around England squads? I genuinely can't remember what it was like when Gareth Southgate named his first side eight years ago.

Speaking of, though, sounds like a good note to finish on doesn't it?

Let's have a look at the 23-man squad that Southgate named to take on Germany back in March 2017.

According to whoscored.com, these are the top 12 rated England players that have made 15 or more appearances so far in 2024-25.

Of the 12, six aren't included in Thomas Tuchel's squad, though two (Bukayo Saka & Trent Alexander-Arnold) are injured.

Do you think some of these were unfortunate not to get the nod?

• Bukayo Saka (7.79)
• Harry Kane (7.53)
• Trent Alexander-Arnold (7.15)
• Eberechi Eze (7.10)
• Jarrod Bowen (7.09)
• James Tarkowski (7.07)
• Morgan Gibbs-White (7.06)
• James Maddison (7.06)
• Anthony Gordon (7.05)
• Declan Rice (7.05)
• Dominic Solanke (7.05)
• Aaron Wan-Bissaka (7.00)

England

Lee Carsley has named his England Under-21s squad ahead of their friendlies against France and Portugal.

Jarrad Branthwaite, Liam Delap, Rico Lewis, Adam Wharton, Archie Gray, Elliot Anderson, Jamie Gittens, Ethan Nwaneri, Harvey Elliott, James McAtee, and Omari Hutchinson are all included.

Loads of comments asking about Adam Wharton and Jarrad Branthwaite throughout the day so far.

They have been included in an England squad after all - just not Thomas Tuchel's...

In February Henderson was involved in this heated exchange with a reporter about his future at the club.

He accused the Dutch journalist of making 'untrue' claims.

The former Liverpool man was linked with a move to Monaco during the January transfer window.

Henry Winter, speaking on The Football News Show, quizzed Thomas Tuchel's selection of Jordan Henderson for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.

"I thought it was bizarre that he included Jordan Henderson. I don't think he needed too, I think England have got other options - Adam Wharton, Morgan Gibbs White - slight different positions; Kobbie Mainoo when he is back fit, Angel Gomes. It just is strange.

"Whatever way you dice it, you are going to have Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham, there isn't a place for him in midfield, and personally there shouldn't be a place for him on the bench given the other players of quality that England have coming through."

Henderson returns to the England squad for the first time in over a year.

Thomas Tuchel defended his decision to pick Marcus Rashford in the recently announced England squad. Tuchel said: "With Marcus, he is a familiar face but a different situation. I felt that he had a huge impact at Aston Villa, he made a huge impact from the bench mostly.

"The impact was impressive. The physical impact was impressive and most importantly, his work rate, his defensive ability and tracking back was impressive."

With that said, let's dive into the stats and see if the numbers back what Tuchel said about Rashford's tenure with Villa so far. These stats are retrieved from Opta.

• Rashford ranks fifth amongst Villa players when it comes sprints per 90 with 17 (minimum of 180+ minutes).
• The former Manchester United player ranks fifth when it comes to possessions won in the final third per 90 with 0.4.
• The 27 year old ranks 11th when it comes to possessions won per 90 with 3.1
• Rashford averages 1.8 tackles per 90.

On his biggest day in the job so far Thomas Tuchel has certainly sprung some surprises with this first England squad selection. Most notably I think with the recall of Jordan Henderson at 34-years-old, who has captained England and is now captain of Ajax who are top of the Dutch league.

It is going on a year-and-a-half since his won the last of his 81 caps.

Marcus Rashford has commented on his return to the England squad via his Instagram page.

On his story, he attached a picture of himself in an England shirt and wrote: "Never stopped believing, cannot wait to get started."

Rashford, who is on loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United, hasn't been a part of the Three Lions squad since March 2024.

Henry Winter, speaking on The Football News Show, praised the way Thomas Tuchel carried himself in the news conference.

"For half an hour, he spoke very well, he is very impressive, you can see that enthusiasm, you can see why the players will be enthused by him.

"With Tuchel, the most important thing is - he is so decisive in games. he is tactically smart, we saw he outwitted pep in a Champions League final, he is tactically adaptable."

England

There were a few doubters in our audience when Thomas Tuchel's England squad was announced - but if he was ever going to win them over, it was during that news conference.

The new Three Lions boss boasted an authoritative yet calm aura throughout and also found the time to joke with the press - the 'Hi, I'm Jordan' line comes immediately to mind.

Every question that came his way he answered in a detailed, thorough manner - something that you expect will reflect in his managerial approach moving forward.

The simple yet effective use of "we" numerous times throughout when referring to England is another thing picked up on. He may be German by birth but Tuchel is all in on this England train.

A very impressive stint in front of the media. Now it's time for business.

Well that just sounds far too sensible, Matthew.
