After England fans at Molineux sang 'You Don't Know What You're Doing', Gareth Southgate responded in typically measured fashion.

He accepted responsibility for the humiliating 4-0 defeat to Hungary, pointed to the fact that England weren't at full strength, and called for unity going forward.

In the face of some ridiculous overreaction, Southgate showed the level-headed approach that has characterised his success in recent years.

He knows as much as anyone that these four winless games have not been good enough, and a 4-0 home defeat against any opponent is not acceptable.

Manchester City have followed some very obvious principles on their way to becoming the dominant force in English football: avoid strengthening a rival whenever possible, and weaken a rival whenever the opportunity presents itself.
