England fans name the one player that Thomas Tuchel needs to build around after historic performance during Greece win

England fans have taken to social media to name the one player that Thomas Tuchel has to focus on when he takes over as manager after his historic performance against Greece.

In their first of two Nations League clashes over the international break, The Three Lions defeated Greece 3-0 at the Athens Olympic Stadium.

Despite missing several key players such as Cole Palmer, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Declan Rice, England performed well in the match, securing a vital three points and avenging the shock 2-1 defeat against Greece at Wembley last time out.

And after the game, fans took to social media to demand that new manager Thomas Tuchel must build his England team around one player after his impressive performance on Thursday.

When the lineups were named ahead of the game, fans were surprised to see interim manager Lee Carsley hand a senior debut to Curtis Jones.

However, the Liverpool midfielder put in a historic performance in the game as he became the first Liverpool player to score on his England debut since Sammy Lee in November 1982, who also scored in an away game against Greece.

Posting on X, one fan wrote: "Curtis Jones is so so underrated, madness that it’s took this long to make his debut. Will be a very important player for England under Tuchel.

Another agreed adding: "Curtis Jones is SPECIAL. My word, what a player.

"Really come into his own these past two months. A crucial and key component for Arne Slot at Liverpool and now he’s showing his worth for England, sending a strong message to Thomas Tuchel."

And a Liverpool fan joked: "Been a dreadful six weeks for the Curtis Jones deniers and great few weeks for those who’ve been in for the long haul."

While popular internet personality Mark Goldbridge simply wrote: "What a class goal that is by Curtis Jones. What a season he's having."

Jones has impressed for Liverpool since coming back from a muscle injury that ruled him out of the start of the season.

Since then, the 23-year-old has made 13 appearances for his club, many of them as a substitute, scoring one goal and assisting four.
