No one said otherwise?
Maybe so. We've certainly had better defenders/defences in the past, whilst actually looking ok defensively under GS....Don't think anyone can argue with that.
Attacking wise, there could be an argument to suggest we haven't had better. Especially with the fact Kane has just broke the goal scoring record, and with the youngsters we have coming through.
He has based upon what we've achieved in the recent past, post 1966 especially. Not sure anyone can argue with that?
I've said countless times, this was an Italy team who failed to qualify for back to back World Cups. I ain't having them down as a 'strong side'. No 'strong' sides fail to qualify for back to back World Cups, when the qualification process is heavily favoured towards 'strong sides'.
I'm not repeating myself again.
France in the recent World Cup on the other hand were a very strong side.
Interesting that you opposed the opinion of him not having 'the knack, bottle or knowhow in the big big moments'. I'm guessing you think the opposite on that basis?
If so, care to explain why you think Gareth actually has the 'knack, bottle or knowhow in big big moments' when he's failed in the biggest moments so far in his managerial career?
