This is a pretty good analysis on Southgateās Englandā¦Any other manager would have killed to have so much depth at CM, DM and the forwardsā¦

Also Iād have to support England in the tournaments.
Please no.
Why?
Youāre not English, and neither is Klopp.
Youāre Indian, but you would support the English team because of a German manager.
Makes no sense at all.

Gerrard? Why not. Get him out of Saudi. Probably not the most popular choice but many of the current players looked up to him when growing up.
At least Stevie would not disrespect our players when it comes to selection.
Heād make it clear to them all that he didnāt think any of them as as good as he was, and when they complain about how shit the vibe is in camp heād tell them to suck it up and modern players have it lucky compared to how awful it was at Baden Baden back in his day. And then play Phil Collins on repeat until everyone loses their minds.

Ange Postecoglou is another that is moving up in the reckoning now
Gerrard makes no sense, donāt know why itās even a rumour.

I would do that. He plays an expansive game, and after watching dour football, it will be a breath of fresh air.
I donāt think there is much coaching to be done at the England international level. They are coming from different managers and tactical approaches, so to try to implement a complex system in limited time will be tough.
I think the gig is to pick a balanced team, send them out with a clear game plan, make them believe in themselves, and trust them to do their thing. The England coach also needs to be able to make big decisions on players, as necessarily, with the quantity of stars, some egos will get bruised.
Iād be fine if it went to Postecoglu.

Just read Poch is getting thrown into the mix - what a mixed bag of candidates - the queue on interview day, will stretch all the way around the blockā¦ twice :0)
Poche might take it, yāknow, if only because every decision heās made in his post-Espanyol career seems to have been made specifically to disappoint and/or irritate the piss out of me personally.
Part of me would enjoy seeing an Argentine managing the England national team, though. Not sure which part yet.

It speaks volumes that a serial failure like Pochettino is seen as a contender.
He wasnāt mentioned, thankfully for the Liverpool job.
Wonder why?
Donāt see why would Postecoglou leave now to get into international football. He has tried that already in the past. Heās worked hard to get where he is at club level and potentially might aim a bit higher also.
English manager (short list) or foreigner with PL experience = voilĆ , weāve got a rumour

In fairness, he won more trophies in one and a half seasons than the England national team has won in their entire history. England are punching up with Pochettino.
