England manager Thomas Tuchel has been described as “immature and stupid” by Watford legend Troy Deeney. He recently blasted the German coach for not picking Ivan Toney in his latest Three Lions squad.
According to him, even though Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins are England’s only recognised strikers atm, with Marcus Rashford and Jarrod Bowen being able to play as false nines, Al-Ahli’s Toney would’ve been a useful addition to the squad.
Deeney added that the England national team needs as many strikers as possible to win international matches consistently.
His words, “I think that’s a personality clash, isn’t it? I think the fact that he’s said that is immature and stupid anyway, in my opinion.
Because, you’ve not mentioned one striker there, not an out-and-out striker, from Rashford to Rogers all the way through.
So basically, what he’s letting you know there, is he’s probably going to go to the tournament with two [strikers], Harry and Ollie Watkins, potentially three with [Liam] Delap at best.
And if any problems happen, he’s just going to rotate any of those guys up front and then if we lose, guess what, the excuse is already built in, we didn’t have enough strikers.”
WOW.
