Tuchel Can’t Play Bellingham And Palmer Together – Gus Poyet

Thomas Tuchel cannot play Cole Palmer and Jude Bellingham together for England, Gus Poyet has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if he knows Tuchel will already have an idea in his mind about where he wants to play Palmer, the Chelsea player is clearly up against Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden for that No.10 position.

Poyet added that it’s unlucky for England to have so many good players who play in similar positions.

His words, “I’m sure Thomas Tuchel will already have an idea in his mind about where he wants to play Palmer. But it’s unlucky for England that they have so many good players to play in similar positions; Palmer is up against the likes of Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden for that No.10 position.

You can’t practically play all of them in the same team – they’ve tried that and they lost the game, so Tuchel knows it doesn’t necessarily work. It’s a shame because they’re all special players. Some people say Palmer and Bellingham can play together, but I’m not so sure. If they were in the same team, training with each other for three months, maybe. But in a national team with three days of training, it’s not as simple.

It’ll be fascinating to see what Tuchel decides to do, whether he starts both of them or leaves one on the bench. It’s not an easy decision to leave such a special player out of the starting eleven!”

WOW.
