Southgate insisted that he is not concerned about England, who close their qualification campaign by visiting North Macedonia on Monday, easing off before next summer’s tournament. 'It’s not a worry,' Southgate said. 'There are nights where subconsciously you just do enough to win. This week was always going to be difficult. We’ve already qualified. We were flat, I accept that. I’m not going to get into the players. We wouldn’t get away with it [against Brazil and Belgium]. The players would have a different level of motivation.'
