Rob Dorsett says Gareth Southgate is under pressure in his role as England manager but doesn’t expect his job to be in jeopardy ahead of the World Cup.
Sky Sports News Senior Reporter Rob Dorsett said:
“This is the hardest spell Southgate has had to endure in his six years as England manager.
“It’s been a difficult time and he’s under pressure. England have gone five games without a win. We’ve lost two in the trot and frankly, I’m losing confidence right now.”
“That said, the pressure doesn’t apply in terms of Southgate potentially losing his job before the World Cup. That won’t happen.” This is because the level of sophistication is not at all on the agenda.
“But I feel like this next game is going to be big for England. Southgate declared he was still the right man to take England to the World Cup. Frankly I Most of us didn’t see it.
“Southgate said he didn’t think his performance against Italy was that far off. He knew he would be criticized for saying that. His tactical decisions were again questioned. Right after the goal, frankly it was a pretty straight long ball.
“But Southgate cannot legislate that the Premier League’s top defenders do not defend a simple ball like Italy’s goal.
“It’s not just Southgate. There’s fatigue across this English side right now with too many key players either sick or not playing enough football for their clubs. This is for Southgate. It’s a real problem, there are still a ton of question marks that the manager has to deal with.”
