Just to qualify, I love Gareth Southgate as a man, he's a legend as a player for us and probably our greatest ever captain. I've met him in the past and hes a genuinely great man.
As the England manager I think he's united the dressing room and broken down boundaries that used to previously exist between players from the big clubs.
After Alf Ramsey his record as manager is better than everyone now. 3 semi finals as manager is a great record.
I'm not a right wing voter, I don't read the Sun or Daily Mail, I'm not anti-woke and I'm far more left wing than right.
Does this allow me to offer constructive criticism now as a fan? Despite all the above I don't think he's all that great tactically, but he might still be able to win us a tournament with the way we are playing.
If we win the tournament I'll still be over the moon and I enjoyed the win yesterday but I do feel we are capable of better.
Hope this is balanced enough for people.
