Southgate understands boos but sees positives after latest England defeatGareth Southgate understands why travelling fans booed him at full-time but was bullish about England’s performance after a defeat to Italy that saw them suffer Nations League relegation.
“Look, really difficult to pinpoint why we’re not scoring because I think we’re getting into the right areas,” the England manager said. England’s five-match winless run is their longest since 2014 and means they were relegated with Monday’s Nations League home match against Germany to spare. “It’s a spell where of course ultimately results are going to be the thing that everyone reacts to, but I thought there were a lot of positive signs for us as a team tonight.
