Yes, it will fluctuate over time as players and trends change… but it’s pretty organic.International sides are never suddenly chucked into a situation where everyone they play is significantly better than everyone they were playing a few months ago.

Re: Shock horror... Reply #408 – October 07, 2022, 12:10:59 PM There are plenty of the squad with top level, CL and international experience though.You would think the day to day training at club level should let club sides settle far quicker than international sides Or is the sheer weight of expectations placed on club players at close quarters, day in day out, the real difference?
