My view on the Gareth Southgate departure… No doubt about it Gareth has done a great job. From where England were before he took over to where they are now, the difference is indescribable. My view is this - “You can not win a tournament whilst trying not to lose it”! England looked a different side when they went behind against the Netherlands and Spain. They moved the ball quicker and advanced creating chances and dominated. When they pulled level they appeared to go back into defensive safety. Meanwhile, Spain played the same brand of penetrating football as they did all tournament. Be careful what you wish for. The next England managerial appointment will determine whether or not the flack that Southgate received for being too defensive was justified or, the success that England have built could as easily dissipate. My opinion is that England should go all out to get Jurgen Klopp to be Gareth’s successor. Here’s why. Jurgen knows how to build a culture, he knows how to get the best out of the talent he has. He is tactically aware and mentally astute. Most of all he knows how to win. To go with an English manager may prove to be a backward step and in my opinion there is no one better placed than Klopp to take England on to the next level. Finally, you can not win tournaments by trying not to lose. This has now been proven, beyond any doubt, with England’s recent results.
