🗣️ Thomas Tuchel on Cole Palmer’s omission from England’s World Cup squad:

“I think he suffers from, first of all, a lack of individual form with his club. He was not as decisive or as influential as he was in the last seasons.”

“Second of all, he was not very influential with us. His record with us was just not outstanding, not good enough to make him, “No matter what, he is coming”. That is just the reality of it.”

“He pulled out several times, injured. When he was in camp, he did not have the impact that we all wanted to push him for. So, again, I can find a lot of arguments to have him in the squad, and I respect his quality and his very unique personality.”

“He was never a problem in camp, and I think his personality helps him, even in big moments, to not show nerves and to be decisive. But to have these moments you need also to be in shape, you need to be influential within this group and he has just failed to prove it, on a consistent level.”

“I refuse to bring players for the name and I refuse to then play them out of position just to give them something. I prefer to have the tough decision beforehand, digest it and then push everyone else.”
