We've had donkeys years of "characters" and none of them have a win record anywhere near approaching what Southgate has achieved. If he goes after this tournament there isn't really anyone else who had managed through the England youth teams/has the knowledge and experience of international football that Southgate has. Boring in your opinion maybe, but he's brought through loads of top players from being kids and he's a winner.

Keegan, Taylor, Venables, Revie, Robson, Hodgson, Hoddle, Erikson, Sir Alf Ramsey, Greenwood, Winterbottom and - yawn _ McLaren are all losers compared to Southgate.

Since the war, only one manager - Fabio Capello - has had more success than Southgate (unless you count Allardyce's played 1 won 1 100% record which I don't as it was a jammy 1 nil win snatched in extra time against Slovakia - a game we should have won comfortably)

If it means England winning most of their games, I don't give a f*** how boring Southgate is.

How the fuck can you say Southgates a winner when hes won fuck all. He lost us the euros last time round, and will do the same in Germany.

Gammons assemble.

Southgate has the second best win % of England managers (ignoring one-bam-Sam). Only Capello has better, but his major tournament record was 2010 = last 16, 2012 = quarter final.

Southgate: 2018 = Semi final, 2020 = Final, 2022 = quarter finals.

There's progression then there's winning stuff.

He's progressed us massively from where we were, just hasn't exhibited the requirements to get us over the line....yet.

Some just won't like him whatever he does because of his demeanour.

Reckon a new attacking philosophy and this new Forino lad......

ah shit wrong thread :)

Winning most matches, winning group stages, winning quarter finals and winning a semi final is apparently not winning although I have to admit it felt like winning at the time.

Folk forget that England under Southgate have a better win percentage against World top ten opposition than Germany, Italy, Holland, Croatia and Portugal in the same period.

Not bad for a loser.

 

It really is uncanny how similar the Southgate and Evatt debates are to each other

There will be questions over his approach, but to say he "lost us the Euros" is over the top.

Players, the best we have, must also take some of the responsibility.

Apart from 66, no manager of England has won anything neither- on that basis, Southgate's record stands up.

I do back Southgate but did did think the second half against Italy needed a bit of more tactical nouse. It was a huge opportunity missed, and yes the players do have to take some responsibility for that as well.
