Liverpool icon Carragher was asked about Tuchel's Three Lions squad on the latest episode of The Overlap and didn't hold back, suggesting the team will struggle."I think when you look at the squad, Thomas Tuchel put energy, athleticism, and harmony over talent," said Carragher on The Overlap Fan Debate, a World Cup Special brought to you by Sky Bet. "I think most people would probably say Harry Maguire is a better player than Dan Burn, but I know he loves Dan Burn in and around the squad."I know Anthony Barry (Tuchel's assistant) a little, and they put great story in this togetherness and how we're going to be as a group for, hopefully, six weeks.



If Saka's not playing, Madueke's just going to do the same thing."But it's about pace, it's about energy, it's about runners. Yet Carragher isn't feeling confident about England's chances.He added: "I do have a little fear — I think Gareth Southgate's going to be a lot more appreciated in the next five to 10 years, because I was a massive Southgate fan in terms of what he did with England and people saying he underachieved and what he should have done with this team.

I think England will find it tough in this tournament, if I'm being totally honest."You look at the squad that's been picked, and there's a lot of good players in there, but I class a lot of them as good Premier League players. I don't look at all of them and think, 'That's an international player there,' and maybe that's just here we are with the squad at the moment.
