Gareth Southgate says there can be no let-up after sealing early qualification for Euro 2024, telling England’s players to grab next month’s chance to impress and ensure their place as top seeds cebu
Having set out their stall with an impressive victory over Italy in March’s Group C opener, three further wins and an away draw against Ukraine put them within touching distance of progress cebu
England took their chance to qualify for an eighth straight major tournament with two games to spare on Tuesday night, coming from behind to beat holders Italy 3-1 at a sold-out Wembley cebu
Southgate’s Euro 2020 runners-up have silverware in their sights next summer and are waiting to find out how things will shape up in Germany at the draw in Hamburg on December 2 cebu
But before that comes the end of qualification at home to Malta and away to North Macedonia, with the England boss calling on his players to end an unbeaten 2023 on a high cebu
“We can now plan,” England boss Southgate told BBC Radio 5 Live after their place at Euro 2024 was mathematically secured cebu
“We have been planning anyway for base camps and things because I think the days are gone where we didn’t do that in case it brought bad luck cebu
“We decided a long time ago that you have to plan as if you’re going to be there cebu
We now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year wellGareth Southgate“We still need to win the matches next month because I think it won’t be enough to win the group to be one of the top seeds, so we’ll need a high points tally as well cebu
“But also I want to see all the players again next month cebu
“We’re not going to flog them physically cebu
We didn’t do that this month cebu
We’ve looked after them cebu
We’re dealing well with the clubs on that cebu
“I have to say Manchester City were brilliant with this with John Stones cebu
We’ve managed his return to play really well and I think that’s worked for both of us cebu
“So we now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year, the calendar year, well as well next month cebu
”Southgate pledged to again give players the chance to stake their claims for a Euros spot in November’s fixtures cebu
“Similar to this month, we want to give people opportunities,” Southgate said at the post-match press conference cebu
“We need to win two matches firstly, but there’s a chance to look at look at players again, which we need to do cebu
”Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen returned to the set-up in October and will be hoping to get another chance to impress, having started against Australia, with the former scoring in the 1-0 friendly win cebu
Levi Colwill and Eddie Nketiah are also in that boat, having made their debuts on Friday before Southgate reverted to the tried and tested against Luciano Spalletti’s revitalised Azzurri cebu
The England boss made a full 11 changes from the cebu Socceroos encounter, with eight of Tuesday’s line-up having started the Euro 2020 final against Italy 27 months ago cebu
Skipper Harry Kane was, unsurprisingly, among them and took his record national team goal haul to 61 with his brace in the comeback triumph cebu
“There’s a risk we take the goals for granted,” Southgate said of the Bayern Munich sharpshooter cebu
“But his all-round play, his hold up play, the way physically dealt with the centre-backs, his vision, his passing – because we have had him for a while it’s easy to underestimate, but he’s a top-level player cebu
“He’s also now got a new experience at a different club, where he’s looking to win trophies all the time, and he’s got to win every week cebu
(There is a) different sort of focus and pressure as the big signing there, so all of that’s good cebu
“I think he’s enjoying also coming back to England and mixing with the lads because he’s very close with all of the group cebu
“I’ve said before, our senior players set a brilliant example for the young ones cebu
“They provide that spirit cebu
They’ve been through so much together and they provide us with such a brilliant platform cebu

Sir Geoffrey Boycott criticised England’s lack of preparation for their continuing World Cup woes but spared captain Jos Buttler of the bulk of the blame cebu
Buttler accepted his future was out of his own hands as England crashed to an eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, which has left the defence of their title hanging by the thinnest of threads cebu
Head coach Matthew Mott has written off England’s chances after four defeats in five games, which Boycott argued was the result of turning up in India just over a week before the campaign began cebu
“History shows that England rarely bat well in India where the ball spins,” Boycott told the Daily Telegraph cebu
“Our guys are okay on flat pitches but if it turns they have a problem cebu
“The best way to try and overcome that would have been for our squad of players to get to India early and play four or five warm-up matches cebu
What did England do? Plan only two warm-up games with one getting rained off cebu
Not smart planning cebu
”England brought eight of the 2019 trophy-winning side with them to the subcontinent but Buttler has been unable to get the best out of his charges – as Eoin Morgan spectacularly did four years ago cebu
But Boycott feels the unflattering comparisons cebu between the duo are unfair, pointing out Morgan had home comforts plus a fully-focused and healthy side in peak form whereas Buttler has had several obstacles to contend with cebu
Boycott said Jofra Archer’s non-availability and Ben Stokes being ruled out of the first three matches through an ill-timed hip problem complicated matters for Buttler cebu
“Jos has a dysfunctional squad of players,” the England great added cebu
“Poorly selected, poorly prepared, not a settled team, many not sure of their roles, patchy form, confidence wobbly and to cap it all England’s best two and most influential white-ball players have not been available cebu
“Although Buttler has admitted his own flaws this tournament, too many people are criticising his captaincy and judging him against that of Eoin Morgan when England won the previous World Cup cebu
“Make no mistake, not having Archer is huge alongside Stokes not being available through injury for the first three matches cebu
Reece Topley has now had to go home injured cebu
“It is easy captaining a good team full of in-form players but it would need a miracle man to pull this team together cebu
Buttler can’t admit it, but it must be a nightmare cebu
