Tammy won't displace Kane from the England team anytime soon, but I think he has an excellent chance of being next in line behind Kane which will present him with more than enough chances and opportunities to take.

Unless Kane is injured he will play every game. Think Tammy should of went to play for Nigeria. Hed be their number 1 every international break. But hey let him have a shot at it but if I was Southgate and Kane was fully fit its a no brainer unfortunately for Tammy.

This is nothing more than Southgate "locking them down".

He really does look impressive. If I'm not mistaken he was voted Derby's fans' player of the year last season?

Massive plaudits from Clinton Morrison on SSN earlier, absolutely lauding Tomori like you wouldn't believe.

You aren't.

He's been hugely promising and a big surprise to me. Not only is he regularly outmuscling opponents defense idly in 1v1 situations, but he's also extremely good at carrying the ball forward. Add in his fantastic recovery pace and we have the makings of a top class CB.

I hope at some point we see a back 3 with all of Rüdiger, Zouma, and Tomori in it. Reece, and Emerson as wing backs. The athleticism and pace would be unreal.

Zouma?!

When you choose national team game time or money should not even be in discussion. Only what you feel in your heart.

Good for us. Less probability to get injured or tired just riding the bench for england. But still can call himself senior internationaln to boost his confidence.

Deserve his call up into the England squad

Tomori is still young and a drop off in form is to be expected but he has been a bit of a mess recently. Has looked defensively sluggish and turned into Zouma when on the ball. Needs to pick it up again.

3 really bad back passes from him in the last 3 games while Lampard telling him to be wary of those The charm of threes will hopefully end this and he will learn at last.

Outstanding again last night, this kid will be a big player for the club.

He did nearly get caught out in the opening minutes last night and it does seem to be a little worry at present that he's either been caught on the ball or under-hit a back pass a couple of times but I think the problem stems from his reluctance to simply clear his lines. He backs himself that if the pass isn't available, he'll hold on to the ball but sometimes you have to prevent the risk and just send the ball down the flanks or up to Tammy. This will come with experience, and possibly even a mistake getting capitalised on, but it's a short term weakness that will develop into a long term strength because he's good and comfortable on the ball and as his decision making improves when he has the ball he'll get even better.
