Ever since the knob took control, I've been banging on about International Jacketball and Southgate. The tell tale sign is that - win, lose or draw - you end up feeling like you've lost. There can't be many go-to moments on youtube when searching for England games. Southgate's hide the fact that 90 per cent of England games are against teams that are there for the taking - Macedonia, Estonia, Umbungo Land etc etc and most of the time the mind numbing boring tactic works. Then we meet a team that's actually good and we get done.
The worse thing we have a decade of Germany, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Holland and Portugal being on various occasions beatable. We have changed a jot during that time whilst they have learned their lessons. Missed the boat is the phrase i'm looking for.
The only thing is that I still can't think of an available replacement.
The knob got us to a world cup semi final and a Euro final, not exactly 'knob' credentials.
Tbh he wasn't exactly my first choice (by some distance) when given the job but tbf he's done a great job all in all.
