My opinion of Southgate is that whilst he's created a better environment within the England set up and created a better culture he was always tactically suspect and way too timid for my liking .

It seems to me that the better culture thing has now run it's course and his lack of tactical ability and timid mindset has now started to create a poor camp for the England players who look confused , bemused and I dare say have lost faith in Southgate .

This looks the least together squad of the tournaments that Southgate has managed England .

That performance against Denmark and the second half against Serbia was every bit as bad as the Taylor , Hodgson and Capello era's .

It takes an extraordinary poor coach to reduce Bellingham , Foden , Saka and Kane in to a powder puff attack given their ability .

One tournament too many for Southgate in my opinion , well past his sell by date .

I'm not much bothered whether the England manager is English or not looking ahead just as long as they are the best person available .

I'm always impressed with Thomas Frank and I think he'd be a good fit with his experience of English football .
Thomas Frank is a good call there Animal.

It must be difficult, when you consider the players we have who play for Guardiola, Arteta etc., and then have to modify their game to play in the style, tactics and mindset that Southgate appears to want. They must be pulling their hair out sometimes.
