This is Paul Hawkesby and Andy Jacobs.

And this is the H&J Daily with some of the best bits of this afternoon show. And it was a huge day, football-wise. We had the England squad announcement and all the reaction to that. We had Michael Carrick being confirmed at Manchester United. We had PEP stepping down at City. So that's all covered here. Faker others, our England correspondent, was fresh from a chat with Thomas Tuckle. She joined us in the studio. Stan Colleymore

Talked to that's all covered here. Faker others, our England correspondent, was fresh from a chat with Thomas Tuckle. She joined us in the studio. Stan Colleymore talked a bit of villa and indeed

England as well. Max Scott, one of our very own team here, was railing against one of the

emissions in the squad. And Todd Macklin took us away from all the football into the world of American sport.

So that and a bit of a chat with us should get you started.

Here we go.

Faye, as John in the studio.

Hi, Faye.

Hello.

I mean, some people would say that his versatility is a strength within a squad, but that's clearly not the way that Thomas Tuckall sees it. No, and he had loads of opportunities. I think Thomas Tuchel would have loved to have taken him, actually. And in those two friendlies that we saw against Uruguay and Japan, he had an opportunity to show what he can do in an England shirt, and he unfortunately just didn't take it. Cole Palmer didn't either. They both hit their best form of the season though. It's quite frustrating for both them. I mean, Foden the last two weeks has looked like Foden and Palmer the other night. That's his best game. Maybe because they both knew that this, it was the last chance saloon. They were right in the customer. because they'll be missed. I think they both offer something that you know other players don't.

So, but It was the last chance saloon. It was a shame. They'll be missed. I think they both offer something that, you know, other players don't.

So, but, well, you know, you can't take everybody, I suppose.

You can't. And I think in a squad of 26, you can advocate and give a reason for and against every single player.

But ultimately, they have to get the right blend of players.

I do think Morgan Rogers is Tuchel's preferred number 10.

He can play with Bellingham as well.

They can play together.

He talked about that actually, which I flagged.

Sorry, Andy, for keeping you.

I see yellow.

Yeah, orange.
