He said, we need you, Jude, but we can do it without you.

And it's not about individuals now.

And it just feels like that's really brought everyone together.

I know that's so cliched as well.

But I've interviewed Cobby Maynew, who...

haven't started we're not talking about him as a starter but he seemed as happy as Declan Rice if you know I mean it just feels I don't know if you've seen some of the stuff they've been up to this week they went to the baseball yeah Dan Byrne and Harry Kane went country dancing but then we see them out of training the other day and it's so unbelievably intense it just feels like he's he's got that balance right and they're all just having a great time I wish I had some well I don't wish I had some kind of bad news but it really is as good as it seems from the outside from what I've seen anyway

I think what the players said about his half-time speech as well, I think that's been quite interesting.

It was almost like they were all shocked.

They all play for top managers.

They've played for a top manager in Gareth Southgate who's taken them to finals.

But it's like he's got an aura.

That's what I think it is.

He has this presence.

I posted on my Instagram earlier, when Thomas Tuchel speaks, you listen.

because he's got a brilliant way with words, which, by the way, is no mean feat in his second language.

And I think at the moment, he's just got those players eating out the palm of his hand, which obviously is easy to do when they've gone and had a second-half performance after his team talk.

So, yeah, I can't, as you can tell, speak highly enough.

But, as we know with England, it can change very quickly.

We get to see 15 minutes of training every few days.

So they were given Thursday and Friday.
