There are two ways of looking at it.

Yes, England were defeated by an excellent Spanish side, but the Italian side that beat them in the last Euros wasn't that great.

Southgate has been given every bit of luck he could get regarding the easy side of the draw and avoiding 'big' sides etc. Don't forget, England were a last second equaliser away from exiting the competition against Slovakia. Without the brilliant Bellingham bicycle kick, without that last second bit of skill, they were out and the press and the rest of the country would have been baying for his sacking before he even landed back on British soil.

He has continued to fail to assemble any real cohesive style of attack. He's played players out of their natural positions. He's stubbornly stuck with a striker who could hardly run, is way past his best and carrying an injury when there is younger, hungry talent on the bench. He's wasted his pacy wide men. His brand of football has been widely criticised all over the world as being boring, unimaginative, too safe, not entertaining, cowardly etc

And the bottom line is, he's failed to win in three major tournaments with favourable draws and one of the best  pools of players in world football.
