I don’t, is the simple answer

My only criticism, if you can call it that, is that for me his style is a little too cautious and in my opinion, and that’s all it is, we would be better at times if we were a little bit braver on the ball.

For me, Southgate is a very safe pair of hands as England manager that gets the squad to consistently meet expectations relative to ability. I’m not convinced he gets as much out of the squad as he could though, but what do I know?
