Gareth Southgate will be greatly missed! such an intelligent manager ,
I think the biggest problems we have are
1 we try to play a national method of play that is different to our club style
2 the manager picks players then try & get them to work together not a style then pick the most suitable for that position
England don’t produce number 6 type midfielders either which made it much harder to progress the ball upfield and easy for Spain to pin us in our own half.
The club manager has to motivate a small group of players at regular, short intervals, even when they do not feel like playing. The international manager must have an idea of the kind of team which will, with very little practice, blend into a team ten times a year. His most vital function is not motivation but selection. The club manager is pragmatic; the international manager should be concerned with the broader development.
Am Scottish and am gonna disagree with the England job being the hardest job in my opinion it's not the Scotland managers job is the hardest now for anyone coaching our nation the first round jinx of a major tournament is to much of a burden for any top coach with the standard of our leagues etc. England have top foundation to work with players playing in the best competition so you have always great chance of getting to semi finals or finals
Yes I agree but your press and fans are more realistic about your chances. Your World Cup song in 1998 was “don’t come home too soon” your fans are brilliant you support the fact that you’ve qualified. You also celebrate just being there.
The England team is expected to win it.
Even though we’ve never won anything in a generation. It’s also marred by Political correctness.
Hence why the best manager rarely gets the job.
I get what your saying mate the English media need a slap there idiots putting your nation down as favourites every tournament is crazy they should just enjoy and support the lads playing. Some of your fans want a kick right up the arse. The abuse the managers and players get is just out of order some of our fans can be horrible as well it's totally wrong
Very interesting, insightful.i thought hoddle was an interesting manager, IE a creative midfielder, English, and expected to change games as a player... Southgate as a defender,, hard to see how a defender who sees the game as a defender can win things playing attractive attacking football with that viewpoint
You could argue that an attacker can't see the defensive requirement of a team. There is no reason why a competent manager who has been a defender can't be successful playing attractive football. Ernst Happel did it with Feyenoord, Ron Greenwood with West Ham.
George Graham was a skilful number 10 in his playing days, and he's known as the one who created the moniker of Boring, Boring Arsenal.
Well add Southgate to this list.
Still relevant today after Southgate resigned and the ridiculous criteria by the FA that the successor needs to win a major trophy.
The gutter press are scum in this country.
It would help if they had had some success but more relevant would at least be a significant amount of experience of the European game.
The England job is no harder than any other nation except for the expectation of the fans and media which is out of all proportion to the ability of the players. The idea that England is some sort of elite footballing nation is nonsense. It only has its roots in the fact that the game originated in these islands, but it was the Scottish who really adapted and refined it. The World Cup victory in 1966 was due to home advantage, a handful of their best players ever, three of whom - Peters, Moore & Hurst were developed by England’s best ever coach - Ron Greenwood, whose West Ham side didn’t play traditional English football.
England has never produced players skilful enough (with a handful of exceptions) for the very highest international standards due to the league’s physical, results-oriented football (which is what the fans really want) and because we have still have not accepted the fact that coaching is a vital part of the game. Eddie Howe would be no more successful than anyone else - there have been quite a few since 1966. When Fabio Capello was appointed manager, he was shocked by the players lack of technique and confidence; the latter comes from the former.
Another fact that is not often appreciated by English critics is that a manager cannot do a good job without the necessary resources in terms of human material. Helmut Schoen for example was successful with West Germany and Del Bosque more recently with Spain because they had a lot of really talented players at their disposal. So, I think Southgate has performed a minor miracle.
Well said. I guess the next manager will be Carsley as that's the process now, to promote the U21 Manager when the Senior Manager leaves.
A high bar has been set by Soutgate, I doubt Carsley will do any better. But the mindset of the fans needs to change, I think a SF needs to be regarded as a success & a final as a huge success. While bearing in mind that it was only 16 years ago, with a very good team, that we weren't even qualifying for tournaments. Yet fans seem to think that losing to Iceland was even more disgraceful then when we didn't even qualify.
@@r4h4al I really would like England to do well and win something before I die - I'm 60 now but I just think that England are more or less on a par with Belguim and you wouldn't hang your hat on them. I don't think the mindset of the fans will ever change. There have been nearly 60 years of near misses and failures but the hype never stops.
England choose individuals instead of team players
