I think some managers may be better suited to club management and some to international. A few are good at both.
Capello is one of the great club managers, had decent England players at his disposal in 2010, and yet we were absolute dogs**t.
I think Southgate has done a really good job to create a positive culture around the England team, which hasn't really existed in this way previously, and I have no complaints whatsoever about our line-ups and formations so far.
As I said, there have been ropey periods, but nothing that has ultimately caused too much concern - and I'm sure we'll give France a good game.
