Managers are paid the big bucks to make the even bigger calls. Southgate knows he has to get them all right if he is to stand a realistic chance of cementing his name – and those of his players – into footballing folklore.
It will be a headache.
Southgate is overflowing with talent in some areas but short of world-class stars in others.
Somehow he has to decide which wingers and attacking midfielders to choose from a deep pool, and who to leave behind.
