An interesting article from Michael Cox, on Guardiola's influence on England (with a Klopp mention for the clicks).

Suggests that Spain and Germany's World Cup wins had a lot to do with Pep, and that he may "claim" another trophy with England under Southgate.

How England's tactical identity has been shaped by Guardiola and Klopp

We should credit Southgate for attempting to keep pace with the tactical innovations devised by the elite Premier League managers

That might be a possibility if Southgate would play the City players available to him at once and fill in with the best of the rest to help them. But he's an idiot who won't so that's that.

This is a good video summarising recent issues. Lack of controlling games, through injuries etc.

All culminated in a perfect storm on Wednesday.

Fascinating video about our struggles and what Pep is trying to achieve.

Not certain if this is the proper place for this but I didn't feel it needed it's own thread.
