IMMIGRANT TETHERS
honestly, I don't even think players matter. France would be a much more fearful and entertaining side if they could press. But they are probably the least pressing big side. Even with donkeys like Sissoko or Tolliso starting, if they had a proactive coach who drilled pressing, I still think they would be deadly as long as Pogba is starting. Look at the '14 German wc team.
So I'm too confident that if DD brings all the talented, athletic and technical midfielders that it will make a difference. They will still play the same. sit back and hit on the counter. They shouldn't even be giving a team like Finland 25% of the ball. Even Southgate plays England more proactive.
