Southgate accepts responsibility for Eng

Gareth Southgate took full responsibility for Englands 4-0 humiliation by Hungary in the Nations League on Tuesday.The Three Lions were embarra sed by their visitors at Molineux, paying the price for an abysmal performance that was in keeping with but altogether worse than their other disappointing displays this month, which have left England bottom Jameis Winston Jersey of Group A3 with just two points.It was Englands worst home defeat in 94 years and stretched their winle s streak to four, their longest such run since June 2014.Roland Sallai put Hungary in front early on, but it was not until the latter stages that Englands humiliation truly took shape.Sallai got another in the 70th minute, and that was followed up by Zsolt Nagys fierce effort and a delicate Daniel Gazdag chipeither side of a controversial second yellow card for John Stones.Defeat in their next game against Italy in September will ensure England are relegated from the top tier of the Nations Adam Trautman Jersey League, and Southgate fronted up to his mistakes.We picked a young team with energy, and when the game started to go against them it started to look that way that it was a young team , and thats my responsibility in the end, Southgate told Channel 4. I felt at half-time we needed to go for the game, we made changes that gave us a bit more attacking impetus but then we were more open as well, and in the end youre pushing with so many attacking players, that left us wide open.I just said to the players there, acro s the four matches thats my responsibility. I tried to balance looking at new players, tried to rest players, we couldnt keep flogging our more experienced and better players, and in the end the teams Ive selected havent been strong enough to get the results in the two Hungary games really.I think the other two performances New Orleans Saints Pet Gear against Italy and Germany have been more positive than perhaps the reaction to them, but I understand tonight is a chastening experience.Southgate has been a largely popular figure during his reign, but England fans turned on him towards the end of the contest as they chanted you dont know what youre doing.Asked if he understood the flak directed towards him, Southgate said: Of course, in the end this is about winning matches with England, tonight was a night like many of my predece sors have had and experienced, and its difficult to stand here Im not going to say it doesnt hurt, but its very clear to me what were trying to do acro s these four matches. The irony is, the two Joe Horn Jersey Nations League campaigns are arguably the ones that have heaped negativity and pre sure on to us, and you wouldnt normally have that the Nations League as an England manager.Ive got to go with that. Ive got to protect the players. Theyve been exceptional in their attitude, theyve Jordan Miller Jersey never stopped. The results are my responsibility.But while he claimed to understand the perspective of unhappy fans, he also reminded supporters of his teams past achievements.Hungary are a good side, we knew that, and as I said, I think Ive given too much for them Englands young players to do tonight in the end, and I understand the reaction to that in the stadium, he added.What I would say is, this group of players has been unbelievable for the country and its important people stay with them because theyre still going to be very strong moving forward.
