Despite back-to-back draws against Denmark and Slovenia, England ended up running out Group C winners with five points to their name.
After the final whistle, Southgate said: "I thought we were much improved with the ball.
"We have created some good openings and at the moment it is hard work for us.
"We are not quite getting that break in front of goal. I think the players who came on did well.
"I understand the reactions but it is a tough environment
"We tried to win the game by the changes we made. We put attacking players on the pitch."
When pressed on having cups of beer thrown at him, he said: "I understand it.
"I'm not going to back away from it.
"The most important thing is the supporters stay with the team.
"I understand the narrative towards me and that's better for the team than it being towards them.
"But it is creating an unusual environment to operate in. I've not seen any other team qualify and receive similar.
"I understand it, I'm not going to back away from it.
"But I'm very proud of the players for how they're operating within it."
