Gareth Southgate had a bone to pick with Cole Palmer despite the Chelsea star scoring his first goal for England on his first start for his country against Bosnia.
England ran out 3-0 winners at St James’ Park, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Harry Kane also finding the net after Palmer scored from the spot.impressed besides as he looks to earn a spot on the plane for Euro 2024, linking up well with Eberechi Eze, who made a similar mark.“Ebere has got lovely movement to go past players, he’s got power. A couple of times, Cole was being too precise and if he got his shots away earlier maybe he could’ve got a couple.
“We just had to be patient and we felt that in the end we’d create the chances. That’s how it turned out, really. I thought in the end the scoreline reflected the performance.” But he gave no clues as to his thinking for his final 26-man squad, which also needs to be named on Friday.“We needed to get through these first few matches and the finals that have been played to have a clearer picture, and the guys that have been rehabbing have progressed well.”
Asked if the display against Bosnia had given him any headaches, he said: “A little bit – but that’s a good thing. “I’d rather we’d had good performances that caused you to think than poor performances. So there were lots of individual things that I was really pleased with.”Jack Grealish looked set to be the first name cut before his cameo against Bosnia. Eberechi Eze was brilliant but the Manchester City man answered his critics.We’re not sure Gareth Southgate’s job in cutting 33 to 26 is actually any easier after that 3-0 win over Bosnia, but a few players have made their point.
