You really think that Pep losing once would ellicit the same response (as you describe) as Southgate losing yet again, at home, against one of the worst Brazilian sides in recent memory?They could get us playing like Man City at there absolute best but should we dare to lose then it’s an onslaught of what the manager should have done differently, why didn’t he play so and so, why didn’t he make the right subs - ‘this is why we won’t win anything’ and all the usual cliche garbage.
As I said , international football is just less exciting than PL , players don’t gel as much, it’s slower - no manager can change that
Pep and Klopp would likely get a bit more respite based on their reputations but I struggle to see who the next manager is going to be to absolutely guarantee we always play ‘exciting’ football , always win and always win trophies.
That’s just my take by the way and I know I’m in the minority.
Do you think it would be reasonable to say he would likely get far more leeway, especially if he has England playing entertaining, attacking football (thus losing isn’t as soul crushing)?
