I do think he deserves more support than he's getting tbh. Yes he's clearly got his limitations but he's done a pretty good job so far and has led the transition from old to new well. Also got us more comfortable on the ball than I remember us being at any point this century.

I thought the Trippier thing was baffling but he was excellent and Croatia didn't get a sniff. Would Rebic have had more joy if we had Shaw/Chilwell bombing up the pitch? Who knows, but you can only go by what happens and his controversial calls all paid off yesterday imo.

I just think it's a bit sad. Almost like people are desperate for us to lose so they can slag the guy off. Let's at least support him and the team up until it goes wrong.

And even if it does, if we win our group and lose to say France in the last 16 is that really a failure? Or is it about right for this group?
depends how they lose, and what Southgate does to change it around.

The football is dull so he's struggling to win fans over.

Results are fine, but if you just huff and puff and rely on individual moments then you get found out when you meet a side of similar quality that can play a bit

I agree with you on that 100%. His in game management is by far his weakest attribute. Does a lot of the other stuff well (Especially at international tournaments which is completely different from club management) but is definitely lacking tactically.
