Two Man City players can lead Southgate's England revival after Hungary humiliation

After England fans at Molineux sang 'You Don't Know What You're Doing', Gareth Southgate responded in typically measured fashion.

He accepted responsibility for the humiliating 4-0 defeat to Hungary, pointed to the fact that England weren't at full strength, and called for unity going forward. In the face of some ridiculous overreaction, Southgate showed the level-headed approach that has characterised his success in recent years.

He knows as much as anyone that these four winless games have not been good enough, and a 4-0 home defeat against any opponent is not acceptable. But as he hinted at how England can bounce back, two Manchester City players may have improved fortunes going forward next season.
