Nations League experiment fails as England falter!
Gareth Southgate will be forced to confront an unpleasant rewriting of history as he digests England ‘s worst home defeat in more than 90 years,
but he will also have to contemplate whether his Nations League experiment
has taken the Three Lions backwards with the World Cup looming on the horizon.
England hasn’t been beaten so badly at home since a 5-1 loss to Scotland in 1928,
and this is only their second home loss to Hungary since the Magical Magyars’ legendary 6-3 triumph at Wembley in 1953.
Watch the huge win of Hungary to England!!
It brings an end to an international break in which Southgate’s side has only scored once in four games,
a Harry Kane penalty in a 1-1 draw with Germany,
and England has gone four games without a win for the first time since 2014.
Now, the second most successful manager in England men’s football history,
who took his team to a World Cup semi-final and came within a penalty shootout of winning the Euros last summer,
has just two games in September to re-establish his team’s confidence before heading to Qatar.
“It’s been a trying night,” Southgate added.
“We haven’t lost many football matches, and losing by such a large margin, especially at home against England, is going to be really difficult.

“I’m quite clear about what works and what doesn’t work for us as a group – this is a challenging night.
“My forefathers have experienced evenings like these, and I’ve seen them from the couch as a youngster and as a player,
so I know what it’s like.
However, you can’t just be in the front while things are going well and not speak up when things go wrong. That’s a part of football, and it’s a part of life, too.”
Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock,
speaking on 5 Live, suggested England is running out of time to address any issues before the World Cup.
“What if this happens again in September,
and you have two performances when the squad appears to be in disarray?” he wondered.

“Then you’ll have to adjust it, and you won’t give the manager enough time to put his style into practise. I didn’t see England play tonight, and I haven’t seen them play in the last four games.
“I’ve never wanted a manager fired, but I’m not sure he’s the right person for the job. Other candidates will be more fit for the job, and Gareth Southgate will be put under pressure tonight.
England suffers a HUMILIATING 4-0 defeat at home to Hungary,
their worst at home since 1928, to cap a dreadful run of Nations League matches and heap pressure on Gareth Southgate.
Some admirers have made up their minds already. ‘You’re going to get fired in the morning,’ screamed enraged fans as England was humiliated at home.
