He has. Just needs to get the balls to sub off Kane once in a while and he'll be good.
Alright's not really good enough.
We have had very favourable draws.
Southgate has galvanised the team and support for the english team, they look together and a strong knit unit.
However he is lacking tactically and in key times during tournaments/matches.
1 up v croatia (a worse team than us imo)
1 up v Italy, at home, at wembley infront of mostly english crowd
cagey and defensive against france until they scored, then decided we actually had to do some attacking, had the game by the scruff of the neck and made some odd substitutions.
Nice guy, decent manager, but not a great coach.
Only an outsiders perspective though .
He needs to be more ambitious with the team. Sure have 2 midfielders who sit in Rice and Jude but like France moved Griezmann into midfield he should do the same with Foden. If he continues with a solid midfield then it will end in pain.
Also needs to look at full backs as an attacking source. Walker is a good defender when all he has to do is have his one on one battle but he offers nothing going forward.
This is how England could evolve if he is brave enough.

Yeah he does the man-management side of it well but just isn't tactically good enough. His subs in big games have always been questionable. I don't think he is brave enough to change things when it matters in a timely fashion.
Always get easy qualifying groups
Never plays a decent team in Group stages
Bottles it when they play a half decent side
Doing a grand job

Nobody talks about how he never gets major injuries either. Like this used to be a big thing with England going into tournaments with Beckham and Rooney. France had Benzema, Kante and Pogba out. England never seem to get hit with any.

That’s not strictly bottling it though is it?
Bottling it would suggest he didn’t have the nerve to go toe to toe with the world champions, which they obviously did, it would suggest they just defended in numbers hoping to sneak a win on the counter
Fact is they went for it and lost 2-1, $hit happens

The other 2 tournaments were more bottle jobs because we were in the lead and in control of both games and found ways to lose them. This one we were always playing catch up even if we might have played the better football.
I’ve no real problem with Southgate.

Does he actually do the man management side of it well though? Get the distinct impression he’s a 100% carrot, 0% stick man. On that basis, of course he’ll be popular with the players, in a nice, cushy, cosseted environment with a nice, understanding, softly spoken bloke in charge. Not sure being nice all the time wins things though.
What's the point in giving him another tournament?

Whether bottle or not he never used all his subs which I may have mentioned before?
Kane as captain seems to be a lead by example type rather than verbals? With few touches in a game, against better sides in particular that can be an issue. In general CB or CMs are captains, often putting in a cruncher to gee up the team. The fact that England only had one yellow and in the France game seems an outlier stat - something else I may have mentioned?
Finally, does GS feel disinclined to sub his captain when the team still needs a result for some reason? Decent player but does the new energy and new challenge for the defenders eclipse the theoretical good strike rate of Kane? Only GS knows the answer but strikers are ripe for being subbed in the game.

Well when I say good man-management I mean he's been able to create a good vibe within the squad. It seems like a happy camp, perhaps the happiest since Euro 96, whereas we know it hasn't always looked it. Like when Capello was managing, or under Sven when there was probably a bit of ego and club rivalry lurking. That said it makes me wonder if he would have coped any better had he been manager 10 years earlier.

Only if they're interested though.
Howe for example has started brilliantly at a club that will be going places with cash to throw around. Potter just started a top job (though we know how disposable chelsea managers are). I don't really rate any other English managers around at the moment.
And that's assuming they're interested in leaving day-to-day management at this point in their careers.

I'm sure Gerrard / Lampard / Rooney will all be in the frame if Southgate leaves.

I’ve no real problem with Southgate.
It’s no like there’s a better replacement waiting in the wings

Yeah, what English managers are even available right now that are any good? The only ones I rate have jobs.

FA are rolling in dosh to pay compo.

Only if they're interested though.
Howe for example has started brilliantly at a club that will be going places with cash to throw around. Potter just started a top job (though we know how disposable chelsea managers are). I don't really rate any other English managers around at the moment.
And that's assuming they're interested in leaving day-to-day management at this point in their careers.

Nobody rated Southgate at the time too so I guess you could equally go for someone unfancied and they might do as good or better job, like Gerrard?

Maybe.
I'm sure Gerrard / Lampard / Rooney will all be in the frame if Southgate leaves.
