That should be good enough to go deep in the tournament, and I'm not too worried about players being out of form tbh. People like Saka will probably relish not playing under Arteta for a bit, and Gordon's problems tend to be attitude so hopefully playing for the national team in a major tournament is a motivation to turn up and show what he can do.

I think if we can get to the semis then we have a decent chance to win it as Tuchel knows how to win cups, and I think we've got a decent set of penalty takers if it goes to them.

I wouldn't class us as favourites but we must be in the top 4, and that gives us a shot at it.

I think Tuchel has done a good job of making the team more like a club team too and isn't afraid to leave the better players out of it benefits the team, which is where Southgate got it badly wrong at the Euros.

I'm quietly optimistic we'll do well.
