Replacing a creative midfielder with an ultra defensive midfielder though. Unless Pep’s planning on switching to 3 at the back permanently in which they use 2 holders.

Possibly. He’ll no doubt have a plan and I fully expect them to win stuff again next season.

Yeah 100% mate.

The more at City and Arsenal the better cos those are the top clubs developing players.

I genuinely think of we don’t win these euros we blew it. Last couple of tournaments we have been ‘close’ to the top sides in theory. This euros next summers we are simply better than everyone.

Southgate will manage to blow it.

I am with you not a fan of Southgate's tactics so far but as i find him a bit too defensive and does not know when to switch it up and go all out attack.

Kane will probably pick up an injury. How old is he? Do we have a replacement?

Loving how many England players are playing club football for Man City.
That can only be a benefit to England as Pep will keep improving them.

Admittedly I don’t really follow the Prem but Foden and Phillips seem to be going backwards to me.

I still don’t get the crack re Guardiloa being the messiah. All I ever see is that he has teams and resources at his disposal (at Barca, at Bayern and at City) way beyond those available to the rest of the competition. I just find it hard to gauge his achievements with that in mind.

Again, I caveat that loosely held opinion by acknowledging, as someone who is hugely disillusioned by it all, that I don’t follow the Prem very closely anymore so there’s every chance I’m just being ignorant.

I'm not sure we're better than France. Spain will have something to say about it too, and Italy always seem to find a way.

Agreed on Southgate though, don't rate him at all. He's been lucky to have one of the best squads of players in England's history, but still lost every game against semi decent opposition.

France have been the team to catch Europe wide for a while, I genuinely think we are there now.

They are quality, but I think in midfield we are better than them.

Defence quite equal, attack same. Yeah Mbappe is a more wow player, but he doesn’t outscore Kane ‘like for like’

Phillips is cack I don’t know why anyone expected him to go to City and play. Foden is still only 23 and has scored about 50 goals in the last 3 seasons as a bit part player I wouldn’t say he’s going backwards he’s just competing for a place in the best team in the world. He would probably walk into another other PL team.
