Surely the 2004-2008 squad was easily as “gifted”.Won nothing yet no previous manager except arguably Bobby Robson had a more gifted squad.
With the riches he's had available we have massively underperformed.
Nothing less than the final would be acceptable, despite Southgate.
Rooney, Owen, Beckham, Lampard, Scholes, A Cole, Neville, Ferdinand, Terry, Carragher, Campbell, Carrick, Woodgate, Walcott, J Cole.
The only reason anyone would argue that they weren’t as “gifted” would surely be because they weren’t very good when it mattered. Significantly less good than any squad Southgate has had.
