I'll wait until the next game has actually taken place before judging the manager and players. They've achieved precisely what they needed to achieve so far; the time to start an inquest is when they actually fail to get any further in the competition.
Are the players of Spain, and for that matter Georgia, any better individually than ours? They aren't, so how come they can play, fast,attacking football that's an absolute pleasure to watch? We all know the answer to that one, and Southgate can win everything in sight for me, but he still can't even begin to produce teams capable of the Spanish level of entertainment because it just isn't the way his mind works. He looks terrified all the time, never smiles,and his negative mind-set communicates itself to the players.
