There have been so many world-class players to have represented the six countries since Italy's inclusion to the championship in 2000. Success also comes into the equation, and longevity and influence. In many ways, these are linked, yet it was important to also recognise the outstanding individual contributions of those even if their sides were not title winners. Balancing, say, the achievements of the great England team at the start of the 2000s with the later achievements of Wales, France and Ireland is tricky.

You need every player to work and I think this season teams have targeted [Liverpool] down the right, Salah doesn't run back, there's an obvious concern for Liverpool down there because he's not getting back and not having the consistency of a right back playing every game. I think teams are targeting down that side. [Manchester] City done it and I felt sorry for Bradley, he needed help.
He said: I didn't like that, to be honest with you. It's something that the manager will address with him to explain that West Ham don't want to play like that to get somebody sent off. I thought he played well against Everton, but that is something that Nuno will be pulling him into his office for. He'll shut the door, one-to-one, show him the clip,
Heimir Hallgrimsson faced a few dilemmas in terms of team selection and admitted on the eve of the match that some training ground performances had changed his thinking. He has recalled Szmodics to the side, with the Ipswich player getting the nod ahead of his club mate Chiedozie Ogbene, who has gone on loan to Sheffield United. Ferguson was always expected to start but there was a question mark around the attacking formation with Azaz given the nod.
Any thoughts on why a club in need of a striker would fork out 66 million quid for one (Sesko) but choose not to play him? Is he injured? They need goals. To be completely honest, my guess is as good as yours! I don't think he's injured. At least, nothing has been said about any kind of injury. He should be fully match fit considering he had a full pre-season with RB Leipzig before moving to Manchester.
