In terms of talent he has the current PFA Player of the Year, La Liga Player of the Year (who also won Bundesliga Player of the Year last year), and Bundesliga Golden Boot (who has also scored over 200 goals in the Premier League).
He also has one of the best defensive midfielders in the Prem, one of the best right wingers in the Prem (and Europe), and a right back who many would consider the one of the best of the Premier League era. Actually two right backs if you include the one currently deployed in centre mid.
He has a number of league title winners and Champions League winners at his disposal. Not third choice keepers either, integral players to their teams success.
The talent is there, the manager is not.
That isn’t to say this is the best team on paper at the tournament. I don’t think they are. I’d have France ahead for starters. But this squad is hardly Georgia.
