"Arsenal are a different champion to previous seasons, 40 per cent of their goals have come from set-pieces." Liverpool head coach Arne Slot discusses how football has "evolved" and credits Virgil van Dijk for playing every Premier League game for the club this season 🔴

The squad looks mid, the only area they’re really stacked with elite options is the 9 role. Harry Kane, Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney is a strong striker rotation for tournament football. Different profiles too Kane for control and playmaking, Watkins for movement and transitions, Toney for physicality and box presence. But almost every other area looks a little light compared to what people imagine England should be. The attack especially doesn’t feel terrifying at all. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon are good players, but neither gives that “we’re finished” feeling elite international wingers used to give. Rashford’s form swings too much and Gordon is more intensity and direct running than world-class creativity. Even the balance of the squad feels strange. You look at other top nations and you immediately see specialists everywhere press-resistant midfielders, elite tempo controllers, creative wide threats, defenders comfortable defending huge spaces. England’s squad here feels more athletic and functional than truly elite technically. Midfield also depends heavily on Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice carrying everything. If Jude has a quiet game creatively, where does the magic consistently come from? Eberechi Eze can unlock games but he’s not yet a proven tournament controller. Kobbie Mainoo is talented but still young. Then you still have Jordan Henderson there which tells you the squad maybe lacks trusted high-level midfield depth. Defensively, there are solid names but not many defenders you fully trust in chaos. John Stones is elite on the ball but injury questions always linger. Marc Guéhi and Ezri Konsa are good defenders, but are they scary? Not really. And the fullback situation is weird because England actually has talent there, but there’s still no guaranteed world-class balance defensively and offensively at the same time. The funny thing is England’s biggest strength might actually be the tournament structure itself. They have athletes, physicality, set-piece threat, depth, and enough individual talent to beat almost anybody over one game. But when you compare pure technical level and chemistry with teams like Spain l, France or even Argentina, the aura doesn’t feel the same anymore. This doesn’t look like a “golden generation” squad. It looks more like a dangerous but flawed team that can either reach a final or crash out to a well-coached side in the quarterfinals.
