Gareth Southgate admits he should take the "brunt" of the criticism directed at England - as pressure grows on him and his team ahead of the World Cup.
Southgate is facing calls to be sacked after a dreadful run of form. The Three Lions were relegated from the top-flight of the Nations League after picking up just two points from six games and haven't won since the 3-0 triumph against the Ivory Coast in March.
England remain one of the favourites to win the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, which starts on November 20, and Southgate will fear for his job if his team crash out of the tournament early on. His contract doesn't expire until after Euro 2024 but that is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
