Football fans have been in full criticism since England new manager, Thomas Tuchel, snubbed incredible talents like Cole Palmer, Trent Alexander Anold, Harry Maguire and Phil Foden.
In recent days, Thomas Tuchel shocked football fans across the globe after he snubbed the likes of Foden and Palmer to choose other preferable players, including Madueke he thought dominated the league ahead of them.
The concept has been twisted overly to the point that people believe Palmer and Foden should be on the list and should not have been left out, but in reality, the three players have struggled the whole season.
Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer linked to alleged injury problems has made most of his performance this season with him attaining just a few stats with a disastrous performance, which didn’t help Chelsea at any form.
Also, Thomas Tuchel made it clear that Cole Palmer wasn’t decisive as of previous seasons even though he tried to help him during several meetings, while announcing that other players in his position were better this season.
Thomas Tuchel on why Phil Foden was left out of his England squad.
"I wasn't even sure in the end what position his position is. Is it a 10, false 9, is it maybe more of a Bernardo Silva role in the future as a No. 8? It's maybe not on the wing anymore."pic.twitter.com/a0z8gueBko

His words:
“Cole wasn’t as decisive as previous seasons, he wasn’t available for us a lot and wasn’t decisive, he also competes in the right half 10 position, where we decided for Jude, Morgan and Ebs”.
“They are outstanding players, had better season and more decisive in our camps than Cole, it was a difficult decision and there’s no questioning his talent and what he can give you in moments”.
Unlike several other players that have admitted their fate, Cole Palmer is yet to utter a single word.
Relating to this, Phil Foden also is yet to single out a public utterance as he his snub has continued to play a big part in what many assume to be an awful season.
Also, Trent Alexander Anold is nabbed and blamed for his poor defense mechanism as the key toll to his snub.
"Teams win championships."
