Summary
Mr Tuchel, there's a man here coming to knock down your door. His name is Morgan Gibbs-White and he wants a place on your plane.
Marcus, Jim & Vish were live on YouTube to discuss England's midfield conundrum. Have Phil Foden and Cole Palmer done enough to get a golden ticket to North America, and can Gibbs-White snatch a place from them? Plus, Kobbie Mainoo's England future, and a question about chicken curry pie.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. Good to have you with us. It's another edition of Lions Watch. We are doing |
| 0:16.6 | Lions Watch every fortnight until the World Cup begins. |
| 0:21.7 | We are 36 days away from the World Cup beginning. |
| 0:25.9 | My giddy-aunt time flies. |
| 0:28.2 | It's not long until it all kicks off in North America. |
| 0:32.3 | My name's Marcus Speller. |
| 0:33.5 | I've got two friends of mine with me. |
| 0:35.1 | I've got Jim Campbell and Vadoosia to Hantharaja. |
| 0:37.7 | How's it going, guys? Good. Thills to be doing Lions Watch with you, Marcus, as always. Thanks, pal. 36 days, fish. I know, yeah. It feels quite an honour to be... I feel like we're in Marcus's house now. It feels like being in his brain, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah. live streamed to the nation. Well, that's what we're doing, everybody. We are live from Rambal HQ to the nation via YouTube. We're going to start with the question that I think has been on everyone's lips for a few weeks now. Morgan Gibbs White, has he earned himself a place in this England squad? I say this England squad, |
| 1:13.4 | the England squad that will go out to North America for the World Cup in, well, they'll be there |
| 1:17.9 | in less than 36 days time unless they leave it particularly late. So yes, Morgan Gibbs White, |
| 1:22.9 | Jim Campbell, let's start with you. There's already comments about Gibbs White. |
| 1:30.2 | He is on the minds of a lot of players. |
| 1:32.4 | Could he get into this England squad? |
| 1:33.9 | He hasn't been in the England squad for a little while. |
| 1:34.3 | He was there. He featured in the loss against Senegal under Thomas Tuchel at the city ground. |
| 1:38.9 | But since then, it's been not much going on with Gibbs White with England. |
| 1:43.4 | Should he get in there on his form? I think on his form and on his merit, absolutely. And I think it's interesting that you mentioned that he's not featured a huge amount. I think he's only got six England caps in total. But I think that's really the only thing going against him at the moment. And I don't think Thomas Tuchel really cares about that. I think he is very likely to pick on form. |
| 2:01.6 | And there have been times where this position, |
| 2:05.6 | or this area of the pitch, looks really tough for certain players to break into. |
| 2:10.6 | You'd put him in that bracket. |
| 2:12.6 | You'd possibly put Eberetsiazza in that bracket. |
