Wharton plays like Carrick in style, Anderson plays more like Rodri in style. Both great but somewhat different. Still odd that England’s best passer other than Kane isn’t going to the WC. Same as Bowen the biggest English G/A player in the prem not going. Tuchel certainly made a brave selection.
Dear God. It's a low tier opponent.
I think he’s much more adventurous than Carrick. Carrick was a good player but he played safe a lot.
I would genuinely struggle to see the funny side of that tbh!
Just trying to find any silver lining in the cloud should something terrible happen.
Arteta to be fair to him uses Rice to his strengths. Rice was never an elite 6, he can’t take the ball on the half turn from the CB’s well enough and his passing is very vanilla in deep positions. He is so much better playing further forward breaking up play and ball carrying, he is a world class ball winning 8.
England are lucky for Anderson coming through, he is proper 6.
I disagree but no issue.
Arnold is just a show pony,good passer or not, but we will soon see if he can deal with Mourinho's brand of affection..
On Wharton, I think we need to see your belief tested on a bigger stage.
Imagine being able to play Wharton, Anderson and Rice in the same team and choosing not to?
No no.
Anderson is nothing like Rodri was, with the Spaniard not having recovered his greatness since his knee injury.
Wharton is far more similar but one-footed.
I would say Anderson is Ricr-like.
Just watch how they all play..
Tuchel isn’t a passing type of manager. He is German but is much closer to Mourinho than Klopp. Wharton would be used if Pep was the England manager.
Hmmmm.....agree with that
Half the Premier League will be playing in Europe next year ... 9 teams playing midweek is a bit of an opportunity for us.
You would have to tip Brighton to win this thing.
Not sure about the Europa League ... Bournemouth and Palace with new managers and who knows what Sunderland will be like?
Maybe United will have a run at the Champions League ...
Andrei Ratiu could be a good replacement for Porro. One of the better performers in LaLiga this season, and is playing well again tonight.
Yeah I can understand why Tuchel would have Wharton down the pecking order but still... yet another lovely English footballer not going to a World Cup. Like Hoddle all those years
Not been tbat impressed with Mateya tonight, fortuitous goal aside.
Done more crowd boosting than effective play..

And has been linked to us a couple of times in recent years.
That midfield has all the balance we were crying out for when we had the likes of Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes stinking up the place collectively for years.
I think both Rice and Amderson would boss this game more than Wharton in all honesty.
Maybe the injury he hsd is affecting him..
