A host of England stars now play for some of Europe's best clubs - their national manager must keep up with them
The dynamics of the group are changing and Southgate may have to adapt and evolve with them, rather than just managing them in what has clearly been a very competent way when they were younger and less experienced.Nights like this one in Wroclaw won’t help.
“It’s good to go through experiences like that, you’ve got James who would be one who won’t have played in an England game like that in the past, Marc, Chillwell won’t have done for us either. The only way for us to learn and grow as a team is to have those experiences, to go behind in a game like that is a challenge but we stayed calm.
But learning to cope with hostile atmospheres is one thing, raising the team’s performances by a level in order to give them a realistic probability of becoming the best team in Europe is quite another. Do England feel on the verge of doing that right now? No. But that does not mean they are incapable of doing so.
