It looks like Gareth Southgate’s England don’t have a plan – he needs to find one, fast

New York Times  

Gareth Southgate’s England tenure is on a knife-edge. Over the past year or so, the England players have spoken with one voice about how much they love working with Southgate and how much they want him to stay on. Southgate celebrates England’s penalty shootout win over Colombia in 2018 Even when things went wrong, Southgate always exuded the sense of having charted the course in advance. When they switched from the 4-2-3-1 to a 3-4-3 for the Germany game in the round of 16, it was a move that was years in the planning, Southgate having left the 2018 World Cup cursing the fact that England did not have a tactical Plan B. Of course, Southgate is open to the criticism of being too wedded to his pre-made plans, of not being able to wrest back control of the ship when the wheel starts to spin, such as against Croatia in the 2018 World Cup semi-final or Italy in the Euros’ final three years ago.
