Former captain Alan Shearer on what England have been missing at Euro 2024 and who might help solve their problems.
We have to because what we have seen up until now at these Euros will not be good enough for us to go the distance like when we reached the final last time.
Instead, until some late changes, it was exactly the same sort of disappointing performance we’d already seen twice from Gareth Southgate’s side at this tournament.Let’s be honest. While we are unbeaten, we have conceded only one goal and have won our group to reach the last 16, the way we have done it has been completely uninspiring.
In fact, the only outstanding team I have seen at this tournament is Spain. The rest are all really open to massive improvement and I would put England firmly in that bracket.'I don't see a pattern of play' Southgate has tried Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield alongside Declan Rice and it hasn’t worked. Then he tried Conor Gallagher in there against Slovenia and took him off at half-time because that did not work either. Kobbie Mainoo replaced Gallagher and it was a tiny improvement, but not much.
He is clearly trying to juggle things, but it feels like more changes are going to be needed to get us firing properly. The move right at the end that started with Bellingham and Gordon on the left and ended with Palmer’s shot being saved was probably the best thing we did all night.
