England's Euro 2024 campaign has been a mixed bag so far. Despite securing qualification for the knockout stages, their performances have left fans and pundits alike wanting more. With a crucial final Group C match against Slovenia looming, questions surround Gareth Southgate's starting XI. Let's delve into how some of England's most respected footballing voices see the lineup shaping up.
Rooney Backs Foden as a Free-Roaming Number 10
Former England striker Wayne Rooney advocates for minimal changes. He proposes replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold with Everton's Anthony Gordon, allowing Phil Foden to operate freely in a number 10 role. In Rooney's view, this adjustment creates space for Foden's creativity while Jude Bellingham provides balance alongside Declan Rice in central midfield.
Wilshere Takes a Bold Gamble with Young Mainoo
Jack Wilshere, writing for The Sun, throws a curveball by including 19-year-old Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo alongside Rice in midfield. Wilshere believes Mainoo's composure, dribbling ability, and forward runs make him a good fit. His reasoning focuses on Mainoo's fearless attitude and lack of tournament pressure, potentially unleashing his potential.
Neville Seeks Pace and Control with Gordon and Mainoo
Gary Neville, a vocal critic of recent performances, calls for a double change. He proposes introducing Gordon on the left wing for his pace and width, echoing Rooney's pick for the position. Additionally, Neville champions Mainoo in central midfield alongside Rice, seeking a player to control the game alongside the West Ham star. Neville even hints at a potential switch to a three-at-the-back formation, a tactic Southgate has used sparingly.
Carragher Advocates Similar Changes But Prefers Gallagher
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher shares Neville's vision for Gordon on the left and a new midfield partner for Rice. However, Carragher suggests Conor Gallagher as the ideal choice to bring energy and dynamism to the center of the park. He acknowledges the sacrifice of Alexander-Arnold and Foden but believes it's necessary for better balance.
Richards Favors Continuity with Existing Team
Micah Richards stands alone amongst the pundits, backing the team that started the first two games. He believes the team maintains a good balance, and wholesale changes wouldn't solve the underlying issues. His stance emphasizes the importance of finding solutions within the existing squad.
Scholes Shocks with Radical Revamp
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes proposes the most drastic changes. Firstly, he suggests a position switch for Alexander-Arnold, moving him to left-back. Secondly, he wants to see Mainoo in midfield. Finally, Scholes advocates for youngster Cole Palmer on the right wing. His reasoning remains undisclosed, keeping fans intrigued.
Murphy Pushes for Fresh Legs and Shaw's Return
Danny Murphy, a BBC pundit, favors a lineup refresh. He suggests prioritizing high pressing and attacking play. Murphy advocates resting key players like Kane, Bellingham, Saka, and Foden for the knockout stages. He proposes Conor Gallagher in a more advanced midfield role with Adam Wharton alongside Rice. Additionally, Murphy believes Luke Shaw, who recently rejoined training, might be fit for a 60-minute stint – a crucial move to address the imbalance on the left side.
England's Crucial Decision
With a variety of viewpoints from England legends, the pressure is on Southgate to make the right call for the Slovenia match. Whether he opts for continuity or a change in approach remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the game against Slovenia holds significant weight, potentially dictating England's path in the knockout stages. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the starting lineup, hoping it ignites the team's Euro 2024 campaign.
