  • 4. In Defence of Gareth Southgate

    38:51||Season 2, Ep. 4
    Gareth Southgate is, in almost every measurable sense, England’s most successful manager. On this episode, we’re looking at common criticism of Southgate, and debunk them one by one. We look at how Didier Deschamps faced identical issues as France manager yet proved the nay-sayers wrong, and the historic role of the English Media in lambasting their National Managers. We’re firmly Team Southgate here on The England B Team Podcast; give us half an hour and you will be too. Cheers,Joe and Gareth xIG: @EnglandBTeamPod, @garethhoustonflute and @joefutbol96TikTok: @englandbteampodcast,@joefutbol96 and @garethhoustonfluteTwitter: @EnglandBTeamPodChapters: 0:00 - Welcome back, you lovely lot2:52 - The English Media and THAT Flag Controversy6:30 - Providing Context; Previous Managers13:46 - A likeable England team!?19:22 - Southgate v Deschamps24:47 - Alternatives?31:45 - A Final Passionate Plea to the English
