I have never been a fan of Southgate. He has a very pragmatic approach to football. He doesn't know how to create chances and England hardly string 10 passes together without losing the ball. A team with that kind of players shouldn't find it hard to hold the ball. I understand that the players are not as good as the media makes them out to seem, but they're good enough. They should have won games convincingly. They struggle too much. There's no fluidity in the way they play, things like this are always the fault of the coach.
Everybody wants Pep Guardiola now, I don't see him doing that though.
I doubt England will even approach Pep. They are a proud people and a Spanish guy coaching their national team is not something I think would happen. Aside England though, I doubt Pep would take the England job if it was offered to him. I believe after City, he'll go to another big club in Europe.
I dislike the hype around them honestly, we all know they're not good the ay they hype them. And what's with the so much pressure from the ex-english players?! They can hype and player to hundred and still bring him down with their bashing and unnecessary comments.
During that last friendly they had before the European Championship kicked off, we saw that they struggled.
The funny thing about the three lions was that they fought for the manager to get to that finals. The boring tactics from Gareth Southgate wouldn't have seen him go that extent.
He has done well for them, but I still don't see that as success. A tactically sound manager would have done dirty to that France and Spanish side.
You should see the likes of Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville yapping before the European Championship.
Bunch of talkatives, if they was so good why not go manage a top quality club and achieve success? They should keep dreaming about Pep Guardiola. He's heading nowhere!
For his replacement, I'd say Mauricio Pochetino. Yet again another manager who cannot boast of winning anything, did he win a trophy with Paris Saint Germany? Eddie Howe? I'd say No!
