Gary Cahill has praised interim manager Gareth Southgate for keeping a cool head in trying times for England. Robert Golden Jersey . Southgate was planning to lead the U21s in a low-key double header against Kazakhstan and Bosnia-Herzegovina when Sam Allardyce was dramatically removed from office after a Daily Telegraph investigation. Hart: Rooneys our leader Joe Hart says Wayne Rooney remains Englands leader even though he was dropped in Slovenia In the whirlwind fortnight that followed, Southgate accepted the job on a temporary basis, overseeing a 2-0 Wembley win over Malta and a goalless draw in Slovenia, on Tuesday, having dropped captain Wayne Rooney. I think he has handled things really well. It was difficult to come into this situation, said the Chelsea defender, who won his 50th cap on a tricky night in Ljubljana. Gareth Southgate was frustrated as England failed to win in Slovenia. Weve played it down but it is tough Im sure for him. For us as players the job kind of stays the same. We have to listen to what hes got to say, we take it on board and try to put it into action, but away from the pitch he has to deal with everything else that comes along with it so hes handled it terrifically well.Southgates current agreement with the Football Association comes to an end after next months matches against Scotland and Spain, although he remains the bookies favourite to land the permanent post.

That might have been a harder sell had Slovenia found a way past the brilliant Joe Hart but, as it stands, the 46-year-old has guided the team to the top of Group F.Asked if he backed Southgate to continue, Cahill said: I dont see why not. Thats something we have no influence on, all I can say is we have enjoyed working with him, the sessions have been good. (L-R) Eric Dier, Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker applaud fans at the final whistle Time will tell but maybe thats a big point for us against Slovenia. We started out to win the game but its difficult to do that here. I came here a couple of years ago and its a difficult place to come.If we werent going to win the game it was important not to lose it, so well take a point. We are top of the group so it is not all doom and gloom.Eric Dier, the Tottenham midfielder who took Rooneys place in the team on Tuesday, described the match as a battle. It was a very difficult match - a bit of a fight Eric Dier He said: It was a very difficult match, it was a bit of a fight. They were very aggressive and we had to match that, which I think we did. But we tried to play football at the same time. At times it was a little bit difficult but we knew beforehand it would be and we were prepared for that. England goalkeeper Joe Hart makes a flying save to help secure a point We knew that was the way they played, theyre very well organised and press very well and are aggressive.Obviously after the Euros its a rebuilding process. Theres a lot of young players all trying to find our way in the England team with a new manager again.

Anthony Chickillo Jersey . - The New Orleans Saints have re-signed receiver Joseph Morgan for one year and have agreed to a four-year deal with free agent fullback Erik Lorig.BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox have re-signed Stephen Drew after the shortstop had rejected a qualifying offer from the club following the World Series to become a free agent. Drew, who spent one season in Boston, turned down a $14.1 million offer from the Red Sox last year after helping the team capture their third title in 10 years. He reportedly accepted a one-year deal that will pay him approximately $10 million. We have the ability, provided all things work out, weve added a very good player to improve this team," Boston manager John Farrell said Tuesday before the Red Sox hosted the Toronto Blue Jays. "Thats the thing (GM) Ben (Cherington) and ownership have repeatedly shown -- when a need exists, theyll do whatever is capable and whatever is available to improve the team. "Stephens return to us could very well do that. It will add stability to the leftt side of the infield. Jack Butler Jersey. " The 31-year-old will take a physical Wednesday and assuming he passes, will require minor-league stint before joining the Red Sox. Once he is ready, Drew will take over at shortstop and rookie Xander Bogaerts will be shifted to third base. Third baseman Will Middlebrooks was placed on the disabled list Saturday with a fractured right index finger. "We had a chance to sit and talk with Xander," Farrell said. "Hes aware of everything thats been talked about and reported, and just wanted to be a little bit ahead of things, as to what it might mean to his position going forward." The move comes as the Red Sox have lost four straight games, their longest skid since dropping their final eight of the 2012 season. Drew batted .253 with 13 home runs and 67 RBIs in 124 games with Boston last season.
