And even when CuraΓ§ao equalised,
you know, we all knew that Germany were going to run out and win that game.
But I just thought to myself, any team that look at that Germany side there, you think if Kimmich does end up playing it right back and Anthony Gordon will be just absolutely, you know, if England do end up meeting Germany or any stage, but there's so many weak spots in that team.
And I don't know, you know, unless there's a big change, but, you know, I didn't like to look at that Germany team.
It didn't have a natural feel to it for me.
And it didn't have an identity.
Marginally better than that, Joe.
I know.
The point stands.
I do agree with what you're saying.
And it's up to him, though, to figure out how to deal with the Premier League.
It's up to him to find out a way to be able to move the ball quickly enough.
I mean, there's been lots of diminutive players played in his position.
You think David Silva there spent a lot of time over on the left-hand side, rolling inside.
But he moved the ball so quickly.
He was well able to bounce passes and keep people guessing.
It's just that, from a defender's point of view, if someone rolls into a pocket and he keeps having four touches...
I mean, it's green light for you because he has four touches every time.
When you play against the likes of David Silva or Hazard or these guys, you know, they roll into that pocket and you go steaming in and he bounces at one touch and you're like, oh my God, you know, then all of a sudden you're going to hold your horses.
So it's up to him to learn and to be aware enough to know when to play one touch, when to play two touch, you know, keep playing one touch for the first 10 minutes of the game and people are going to leave you alone.
