Saying that ive no idea really how good Page is.

City had stick off some for our 2nd half display v Swansea despite restricting them to 1 short on target and creating the best chance. Whereas Wales get a free pass being dominated by Italy in 3rd gear and even subbing their keeper.
The Swiss had a tough travel itinerary, Baku, Rome then back to Baku, some air miles there. The Turks although later having two ‘home’ games were unfortunate to have the dubious honour of opening the tournament in Rome, seemed to knock the stuffing() out
of them immediately. Great achievement to qualify though given we were most probably the 4th fancied team in our group.
