Huh ?!! How ? Prove it with facts/numbers !
Definitely can't prove with facts, but think that seems to ring true. If you look at the number of young English players now, that are more technically gifted. Your Grealish, Sancho, Saka, ESR, Foden, Trent. Seems to be more high quality players coming through than the 2000s. We might not have a superstar in the ilk of Rooney who burst onto the scene and was amazing, but quality seems to be there. Granted not facts or figures, just a feeling

There were great individual players always, but not above average across the board as nowadays.
