Are we picking on reputation or form and minutes?
Jarell Quansah being in there suggests the latter, but then getting the call-up makes it look like we’re just back to the big names again. Which one is it?

not being there is hardly a surprise given Tuchel’s approach to him, but are you telling me Jordan Henderson is a better player than Trent?
