Carragher Calls Tuchel’s Right-Back Decisions ‘Bizarre’ Amid England’s Defensive Crisis

Carragher Calls Tuchel’s Right-Back Decisions ‘Bizarre’ Amid England’s Defensive Crisis — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Former England defender Jamie Carragher has harshly criticised manager Thomas Tuchel’s squad planning at the FIFA World Cup 2026. He argues poor choices in the right-back area left the Three Lions short of reliable options when injuries hit. Carragher highlighted that selecting two injury-prone full-backs was a fundamental error. He also questioned the decision to bring in Trevoh Chalobah, who isn’t a natural right-back, rather than a specialist replacement. According to Carragher, this lack of depth exposed England’s defence early in the tournament and could have been avoided with better preparation before kick-off.

A straightforward solution would have been to include a versatile defender who can cover multiple positions.
