The most notable thing with the England squad over recent years is the fact that no player looks proud to wear the shirt any more and that there is no passion or pride within the squad at all.

With confidence also lacking, the managerial position at England has been described as somewhat of a ‘poisoned chalice’.

The quickest way to get England back to winning ways is to start restoring some of these things, which in itself is not the easiest of jobs.

If Southgate can make progress in any of these areas, he will be one step ahead of both Roy Hodgson and Sam Allardyce, and the FA would really have to take notice of his claim for the top job.
