Southgate and England are doing fine, 7 points from a medium level group is fine, no goals conceded is great, 2 scored is poor. Then again we've hit the woodwork 3 times, and our main striker is completely out of sorts. You don't get any extra points for 5-0 wins anyway.
The modern parlance is 'Game Management' Pep and Klopp are lauded for it when they see out a tight 1-0 win, and Southgate should be too.
5 years ago we'd have had a desperate last 20 min rearguard action with the likes of John fucking Terry and Phil fucking Jones trying to head clearances when the ball is on the ground.
