Famous fullback, Harry Maguire.

Tuchel is actually so weird man. All the top talent we have at fullback and he’s being Chalobah

Our fullback is injured so naturally he replaces him with a centre back instead of hall or Trent, makes sense!

Chalobah wey dey play fullback wella. dey whine

We live in a world where a player with body mechanics of a fullback costing £112m is a bargain and Summerville is a bum at 40-50m.

Iran are actually good with the ball higher up the pitch. Fullback and wingers on different lines, #9 and #10 close together, often attack with 6 on the top line as the centre backs and the #6 #8 manage the build-up, but they are very chaotic defensively. Man-oriented but leaving New Zealand with a 1 in the build-up. The centre backs also can’t get to grips with Chris Wood and his physicality. New Zealand are basic defensively in a standard 4-4-2 where the #9 and #10 manage the ball-side centre half and #6. But at least they have clarity and adhere to principles of the game. They are also looking after the ball well, playing direct when necessary, dribbling to win 1v1 duels, and running off the back of Iran which is causing their defensive idea all sorts of problems. They have also came out on top in most duels. Clear who the better team is early on despite the fact that Iran were heavy favourites by the oddsmakers. But New Zealand have to keep being brave to do all of the things that they have done well so far. If they sit back for long periods to try and see the game out, they play into Iran’s hands. It’s key to stop that at the source.

It’s close Portugal have the best fullback out of the 4 Englands pair is better Idk tbh

Konsa fullback if needed with Stones going in at CB?

This is the issue here…Mbeumo needs for things to go almost perfectly for him to really shine and Ineos believe Mazraoui and Dalot are actually worth keeping so I wouldn’t be surprised if Mbeumo/Amad struggle cuz of the lack of progression from the right side at fullback

And he chose Trevoh Chalobah over an actual fullback like Shaw, Arnold or Hall so where’s the logic in that

sorry thats just cap. the manager needed a rb! he is england's most experienced and succesful rb at this time. has played fullback in a back 4 in some of the most demanding teams of the last decade. there's no logical explanation for this other than some personal issue

Tuchel has always been a clown and a guesser. Selecting a poor Chelsea player in front of Trent and Lewis Hall is frankly disgusting. Chalobah is terrible and isn't even a fullback/wingback, offers nothing going forward, can't cross a ball and is shaky as hell in defence.

Like bro How do someone make that statement? Summerville that likes to isolate the fullback and Garnacho that runs into territory? How are those players even alike for one bit?

If it means signing players in every position of need (striker, centrerback, fullback), maybe I'll think about it. For now I'll say no. At the end of the day it depends on if raphinha wants to leave.

When does Jai Field qualify for England? We’re short at fullback.

Tuchel has actually lost it. Replacing a fullback with ANOTHER CB, leaving O’Reilly, Spence and James as your only fullbacks is wild when Hall or Shaw could have been called up.

Ye thats what I think so we would probably need a more defensively astute fullback

Ah yes. A 'fucking useless' fullback who has played a massive role in his club winning every single trophy imaginable. Next divvy, please.

He can play as a fullback
