Really enjoyed watching England play under Southgate. I don't think for a minute he's a better coach or tactician than Poch but has them all playing well in a system the players understand.
There's a lot more movement and the build up play is quicker than Spurs.
England would beat us for sure and would come 3rd in the PL, I think. Say, this is England's best XI, versus ours in a similar formation:
Pickford
(Gazza)
TAA - Stones - Maguire - Chilwell
(Foyth - Toby - Jan - Rose)
----Mount-------- AOC-------------
(Sissoko-----Ndombele---------)
Sterling - Maddison - Rashford
(Moura - GLC - Son)
-------------Kane-----------------
(Kane)
Where England are far superior to us is in the full backs...not a shocking revelation. Sterling is obviously up there as one of the best players around at the minute. But elsewhere....it's fairly even?
Please, please, please can we find 2 full backs from somewhere.

Southgate is simply doing what should be expected with a decent group of players. I think he's lucky to have come in to managing England when he did as we have some very talented youngsters and don't have any of the underperforming Golden Generation anymore. Honestly I think Hodgson would be doing just as well with England right now.

Don't agree re Hodgson. That guy was a baffoon. Never forget pre 2016 we played Germany and Spain and he tested out the youngsters and we played really well. Then euro 2016 came and he dropped the youngsters, squeezed in Rooney and the old guard and had Kane taking corners and playing on the wing ffs

Yes Hodgson was shiiit no question but I do think Southgate has had things a lot easier, and yes you're right in that the players are benefiting from very good coaching right now at club level. Look at the Sterling Hodgson had to work with compared to one Southgate is working with.

You do realise arsenal women are one of the most decorated womens football teams and the Tottenham women are a relatively new outfit.
