Instead of the quality performances that many expected from a squad that included a striking attack, with Harry Kane, Billingham, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka, Gareth Southgate’s team were content with flexibility that led them with difficulty to the semi-finals.
Probably it's biggest concern of Southgate who wants to do everything necessary in his thinking, to win Euro 2024. I agree with many star players they have, they have due ability to play better and more impressive than what they have shown.
The team includes international stars capable of achieving success within the clubs they play for. Why does their performance decline like this when their national team includes them? Of course, all criticism will be directed at the coach and the management staff, because it is clear that his strategy is not completely successful when we see the performance in all the league matches.
Even if England succeeds in winning the title, this will not make it the best team in the league, and the criticism will continue, especially from the English fans themselves, who were looking forward to a much better performance than what we are currently seeing.
By the way, the same criticism is directed at France despite its reaching the advanced stages of the tournament.
