GARETH SOUTHGATE has urged England supporters to get behind his struggling team at Wembley tonight, saying: "We can't succeed with the fans against us".
England host Germany in a Nations League dead-rubber in their final game before the Qatar World Cup, aiming to avoid going a sixth competitive match without a win for the first time.
Southgate was booed by sections of the travelling support after Friday's 1-0 defeat by Italy in Milan and was also targeted during England's last home game, the 4-0 defeat by Hungary at Molineux in June.
The manager, who yesterday admitted his contract to 2024 will not save him from the sack if England flop in Qatar, is concerned about the reaction of the crowd this evening but stressed that "togetherness" between supporters and the team has been a huge part of the Three Lions' recent success.
