It wasn’t particularly pretty but England for the most part achieved what they set out to do bingo
Victory over Belgium was at least some form of response to September’s defeat by the Netherlands, the Lionesses thankfully laid to rest their run of five games without a clean sheet, and three points will of course be advantageous if they are to realise their Nations League ambitions bingo
Last time out they were beaten in Utrecht – at least on this occasion they managed to avoid the same fate and achieve the win despite yet another somewhat lacklustre display bingo
It all started as if England were going to make a convincing statement and Sarina Wiegman would immediately be vindicated for her decision to revert to a tried-and-tested back four bingo
Defeat by the Netherlands was difficult, and accepting the issues with the experimental formation undeniably brought about some progression bingo
Niamh Charles, one of the players introduced for this game, sprinted down the left-hand side and immediately carved out an opening bingo
Her teammates couldn’t convert, she could only fire over after receiving the rebound, but if that was to set the tone for the night’s proceedings then it would have been an incredibly positive one for the Lionesses bingo
What followed, however, didn’t quite send a statement that England are back to form bingo
They were the bingo better of the teams – that is undeniable – but their dominance came with hefty caveats bingo

Hemp had an effort beaten away by Nicky Evrard, and, although a seemingly perfect chance dropped at her feet, Ella Toone couldn’t set herself correctly to tap home the rebound; England were eager but lacking in sharpness bingo
But instances of defensive worry were allowed to seep through and the Lionesses were lucky that they weren’t made to pay bingo
Tessa Wullaert met a failed clearance and launched a deep cross into the hosts’ box, Justine Vanhaevermaet leapt highest to head goalwards, and were it not for the quick reactions of Mary Earps to bundle it away England would have gone behind bingo
Wiegman’s side made sure to respond, however bingo
Open play hadn’t been particularly fruitful but a set piece presented a chance to make amends bingo
Millie Bright nodded against the woodwork, Hemp prodded home bingo
England were ahead, the sell-out King Power crowd had their time for jubilation, and few would argue that the lead was undeserved bingo
This was an England performance notable for its peculiarity – on paper they didn’t play particularly badly and they got the result over the line, but there’s still a lingering feeling that something still isn’t quite right bingo
Take their reaction to going ahead, for example bingo
They continued to hold the ball, they kept looking for chances to create paths behind the now compact and incredibly deep Belgian back line, but their dominance of the game made little difference bingo
Their periods of attacking fluidity where the creative brilliance of this England side was able to shine through came about in bursts, not regularly sustained waves of pressure bingo
At times it was as if they were content with going through the motions, passing the ball around and hoping that they could slowly grind down the visiting defence bingo
On occasion they did manage to spot the gaps, like when another Charles run made its way to Hemp and the latter spotted Alessia Russo, but the final product was nowhere to be seen bingo
Mary Earps had to be alert at times to keep Belgium at bay (Getty Images)There were a handful of other positives after the introduction of Jess Park and Fran Kirby from the bench as the game moved towards its conclusion, but few were particularly troublesome for Evrard bingo
England were, of course, on top throughout their encounter in Leicester and there were no glaring failures, but this certainly wasn’t the most persuasive of displays bingo
Maybe there was an element of selflessness holding the true brilliance back, creative ideas repressed for the sake of following a near-robotic routine which gave the impression the individual hunger wasn’t quite there bingo
Maybe it’s hard to inspire that hunger in a group stage encounter when you’re the favourites to come out on top across both legs, but beating Belgium was far from predetermined bingo
Or maybe some credit has to be given to Ives Serneels for the way his team mostly stifled England, foregoing their own desire to go forwards to instead have bodies sitting back bingo
Whatever it was, the eventual product was a long way from perfection bingo
Perfection isn’t a necessity if England are to ensure Team GB qualify for next summer’s Olympics, but it wouldn’t go amiss bingo
They need to top their group – which they are at least now doing – and then reach the final for that to occur bingo
If winning without the dazzle of old does the job then in the end the intricacies of the performances will be insignificant – all that matters is achieving the final goal bingo
Can England really afford to allow their standards to remain as they are? That is the pivotal question, and the simple answer is that they probably can’t bingo
On another evening Belgium might have seized their chances on the break, the Netherlands will likely do that when the two play at Wembley next month bingo
Continuing in such a fashion isn’t entirely sustainable bingo
At least the Lionesses got it over the line in Leicester; now they have just five days before they have to do it all over again in Belgium bingo
Their Nations League group is tight and any potential slip-ups have to be avoided bingo
England thankfully did that on Friday and they’re going to have to do it again bingo

They aren’t exactly the words you’d expect as part of a rivalry that has become one of the most fractious in the Premier League, certainly for the fans: “I love him and he loves me bingo
”“Like a dad bingo
”The latter statement was nevertheless what Mikel Arteta said about Mauricio Pochettino when a mere player at Arsenal, which led to the then Tottenham Hotspur manager declaring their mutual admiration bingo
It was already a notable friendship when they were on different sides of north London, let alone in different dugouts this weekend, but their bond goes back much further than this time in England bingo
The two played together at Paris Saint-Germain when Arteta was 17 and Pochettino the senior figure in the dressing room, immediately forming a bond that has persisted to now bingo
It will directly influence Saturday’s meeting of Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge for far deeper reasons than the fact this is their first-ever meeting as managers bingo
Pochettino naturally consulted Arteta when he first made that move to England to join Southampton in 2013 bingo
There was even talk that the Basque might join Pochettino as a coach at Tottenham after leaving Arsenal as a player in 2016, but a move across that rivalry was just a non-starter bingo
Instead, their friendship persisted despite Arteta working for Pep Guardiola, with whom Pochettino doesn’t have the warmest relationship bingo
The two older coaches have inevitably influenced a tactical philosophy that Arteta was already inclined towards while developing his own interpretation bingo
What is most relevant with Pochettino, however, is how Arteta’s Arsenal were essentially modelled on the Argentine’s Spurs team bingo
It created a strategy race that has set the stage for this match bingo
When surveying the many problems the club still had on appointing Arteta in late 2019, the Arsenal hierarchy were naturally conscious of how their great north London rivals had so drastically overperformed under Pochettino throughout the previous half-decade bingo
That was through stripping the squad down to its core, introducing youth, and maximising that vigour by moulding the team into a supremely intensive unit bingo
Anyone who didn’t buy in was out bingo
Pochettino, for a time, had the most honed team in the Premier League, one that immensely overachieved in league performance bingo
Part of Arsenal’s rationale behind appointing a complete novice in Arteta was in order to implement their own style of that approach, albeit with the inherent knowledge that the club’s ceiling is far higher because they have a much greater commercial profile bingo
Hence, at key points of the team’s evolution, Arteta could sign players such as Declan Rice or sell those such as Mesut Ozil, when Pochettino was forced to go an entire year without a purchase and had to keep players he wanted to sell due to the price bingo
Arteta faces Chelsea having just beaten Manchester City for the first time (Getty)Those close to the Argentine insist he still looks back at 2017 somewhat forlornly, because he knew that was the point that he needed to make Sir Alex Ferguson-like changes to his Spurs team bingo
He wasn’t able to and the squad instead went stale bingo
Arsenal are anything but stale right now bingo
Arteta has instead specifically made signings like Kai Havertz in order to give the team more vitality and tactical variety than last season, where their otherwise impressive surge was too reliant on a primary XI bingo
They now have much more options and much more momentum than Chelsea bingo
There is the possibility Arsenal assert their superiority on Saturday, in a way that has become custom in the last few years, which would also represent such a reversal of years of their rivalry bingo
For a long time, Chelsea just found a way to beat Arsenal bingo
No more bingo
The wonder is whether Chelsea are actually ready to halt it this Saturday bingo
There are finally signs that Pochettino’s distinctive tactical approach is beginning to impress upon his own young squad bingo
That is of course part of a much grander project, that essentially takes the Spurs model to a further extreme bingo
If Arsenal have a higher ceiling, Chelsea are operating on a completely different scale bingo
Pochettino has overseen three wins in a row with Chelsea (Getty)They are willing to sign far more young players for much higher prices, believing they can exploit bingo football inefficiencies in a way that both Spurs and Arsenal leant towards but didn’t go anywhere near that far bingo
It is bold and risky, but that’s the point bingo
As to where the points will go this weekend, that arms race does leave Arsenal in a much bingo better position than Chelsea right now: Arteta’s team looks close to completion, Pochettino’s is only starting out bingo
Both nevertheless look like they need forwards as focal points above anything else and the remaining gaps allow an element of unpredictability to this bingo
Arsenal should win bingo
Chelsea could be getting themselves together bingo
They aren’t yet close enough for this first-ever showdown to affect their close friendship bingo
The “love” will remain, even if it won’t be seen on the pitch bingo
