“England Fans Urge Tuchel to Build Around Star Performer After Greece Heroics”
“England Fans Demand Tuchel Prioritize Star Player After Historic Display Against Greece”
England fans have flooded social media, highlighting one player Thomas Tuchel must center his plans around as he prepares to take over as manager, following a historic performance against Greece.
In the first of two Nations League clashes during the international break, England secured a convincing 3-0 victory at the Athens Olympic Stadium. Despite missing key players like Cole Palmer, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Declan Rice, the Three Lions delivered a solid performance, avenging their previous 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley.
After the match, fans were unanimous in their praise for Curtis Jones, urging Tuchel to build the England team around the Liverpool midfielder. Making his senior debut, Jones became the first Liverpool player since Sammy Lee in 1982 to score on his England debut, also in an away game against Greece.
Fans took to X to express their excitement. One wrote: “Curtis Jones is so so underrated. Madness that it took this long for his debut. He’ll be a very important player for England under Tuchel.” Another added: “Curtis Jones is SPECIAL. My word, what a player. He’s been pivotal for Arne Slot at Liverpool and is now sending a strong message to Tuchel.”
Others celebrated Jones’ rise in form, with a Liverpool fan joking: “It’s been a dreadful six weeks for Curtis Jones deniers and a great time for those who believed in him all along.” Popular personality Mark Goldbridge chimed in, saying: “What a class goal that is by Curtis Jones. What a season he’s having.”
Jones, 23, has impressed for Liverpool since recovering from a muscle injury that sidelined him earlier in the season. In 13 appearances, he’s scored once and provided four assists, consistently showcasing his value.
With his standout debut, fans are confident Jones could be the centerpiece of England’s future under Tuchel. Watch his brilliant goal here: Watch the goal.
