Southgate is England's second most-successful manager after World Cup-winning boss Sir Alf Ramsey, having led the Three Lions to a semi-final and a final at the last two major tournaments. England are among the favourites to triumph in Qatar, though Southgate has faced recent criticism, particularly after their poor showing in the Nations League. Carragher feels the "mood has shifted" since those performances in the summer and believes Southgate may be aware this World Cup could be his final tournament if he wants to bow out on a high. Writing in his column for The Telegraph, Carragher urged Southgate to use the upcoming World Cup as his "swansong" and step down from his post after the tournament, whatever the result. "Hopefully England will produce to a strong enough level to ensure that is Southgate's call," Carragher said. "After his excellence in the job to this point, the least he deserves is to leave on his own terms when he feels the time is right. He is intelligent enough to have sensed a mood shift over the last few months, even if some of the negativity surrounding him during the build-up to the tournament is a joke."

Carragher went on to explain how he feels Southgate's pragmatic and cautious approach to tournaments is beginning to wear thin with sections of the England fanbase. But the former England international was keen to dispel any suggestions Southgate's squad is the best since Ramsey's side from 1966, branding any such notion a "myth". "He has not failed to get the most of a talented squad, as some argue," Carragher insisted. "He has overperformed with a very good bunch." The pundit used the 200){kind=link}
