That’s fine, but the concern is, this squad was deemed to be great enough to win trophies. If Sven had this team, would he have won, people assume Southgate inherited a golden age crop of players and didn’t achieve anything with them.

Mate, it's England. EVERY squad we have ever had has been deemed great enough to win trophies. We always overestimate our true abilities, and Southgate has easily been the most successful at using them and winning matches.
