I am disappointed, Gareth Southgate side has been a great tournament for us personally and on a group level and we can go home proud of ourselves but I think we will kick ourselves in those quiet moments, fabian Delph think we had a great chance to reach the final and we came up short.

We have made massive changes, we have had a fantastic camp and I think we have got something to build from for their next four years, finishing Gareth Southgate side with a loss there( today) didn't go down well for us. We played a very good team today who were able to take their chances.

When I was at Villa and I was captain there and I had the opportunity to go to City, it played on my mind I wouldn't be as pivotal. So initially I didn't want to go, but a lot of things happened behind the scenes and I realised I had to go.

behind city mind opportunity

I never thought I'd be playing 60 games a season for City, I knew I would be playing half of that if I was lucky. I knew at a club with that much power and resources there would always be a flood of players into the team.

I always talk about being a team player, I think I'm really good team player. I was a big voice in the changing room before games and nothing really changed for me.

Sometimes when you stare adversity in the face you've got to go back to those basic principles of football and do them right.

There's nothing worse in my book than going home with energy left over. I like to go home knowing I've put a shift in, feeling that I've pushed myself to the max.

I want everybody including myself to be working just as hard towards the same goal, and if that's not happening I think it's only right to voice that opinion instead of going into your shell and not speaking about it.

Fabian Delph

myself think opinion voice

I just want everyone I am playing with to be fully switched on, really on it. You don't have to be the best player in the team to have an effect on the players around you.

I feel like if the mentality is there then why not aim to win every game? We are not here just coast through games. We need to go into games thinking we are going to win.

Fabian Delph

feel game win thinking

When you go a goal behind the pressure drops off you and you feel like you can play more so when we go ahead we need to be switched on and that is when we need leaders on the pitch.

It is definitely what my aim is to get everyone to do their part and take on that responsibility of being a leader - whether you are playing or on the bench or if you have not made the team.
