🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❓ Who should start for England v Slovenia | ITV Sport team discuss | Euro 2024

the fact that Gary and Ian have been writing the England team down deleting your iPad writing it down again it says it all really about how hard to get the balance right for the next game let let's go from the back forward what about Mark gahi people say yes who have England played but what about Mark G he's done very well again biger bigger test to come but he's been solid again that was a big question mark the starts of the tournament about I suppose the whole defensive unit but he's done really well and obviously he's um he's got stones and experience next to him so he he must be delighted with the start of the tournament but again bigger test to come now if Luke shw cannot play the last group game I mean part of England's problems is this lopsided dislocated nature which is caused by Luke Shaw's unavailability isn't it so if he can't play in the last group game would you if they qualify throw him into a last 16 game as his first match he's not played for an age um I think Kieran trip is doing you know pretty well there at left back filling in but you do lose obviously the balance um in possession particularly going forward of Luke Shaw Manchester United miss it desperately when he doesn't play and I think England miss it desperately as well now Alex Arnold probably won't play I think we could probably guess at that couldn't we in the Slovenia game and if he didn't who would who would you put in there I you know well either kobby kobby or Walton I probably put Walton in there simply because he's as close to I've seen with that Fabian Ruiz in and when I've seen him in the last few games P at the end of the season he's calmness he's calm you know he can f he's got a pass you know he's very he's very intelligent player and he's and I think he's somebody that wouldn't panic in this situation and he's been picked in the squad you know listening to to Gareth I think he mentioned um was it about um Calin Phillips and yeah you know he's the only one in the country could maybe play that role I don't believe that I believe that Adam could play I think kobby mayor could play as well and you've picked them so now we're in a situation where it's it's not desperation because obviously we we've got four points but we're in a place where we need something different we need something to change something need to change the narrative the momentum going got Co pal in around you got golden we we need to do something we need to change that but there there seems to be a lot of confusion even the messes Garrett saying we need people who can looking after a ball then they seem to they need more Pace in the Counterattack so he's definitely got some some tough decisions coming up over the next few days and then we talk about options I was a gambled to bring Shaw because he's not played but when you have an option you can bring 26 you can see that but then you can almost have too many players it looks like he's too many options that that's that's part of the reason you keep deleting your team there is's got 15 in the team to get the right to get the right balance here do England have to think seriously about dropping a premier player a foden maybe to play somebody who who is more a natural wide player to get it's all about balance isn't it playing for England is is damned hard work and I'm not trying to explain that to try and repeat your Club form for your country when you don't play together as much is difficult for every country but for England as well and Gareth I think over the last few years has been able to pick a team he's ignored reputations he's ignored if you like what would be the star player he's picked the best players that he can out into the pitch but make the team for the first time I think in GIS ten year we're looking at a situation which has bit England in the past whereby famously the Beckham Gerard Lampard skulls or playing even sheer and owing up front as a pair didn't work for England but because they were both that good we had to try and make it work and it didn't work that's why Terry vbl dropped out far better fors than Teddy sheringham but played Tedd shering with alen sheir because they Dove tailed with each other I think that Gareth won't want to rip up what he's done in the last couple of games but I think he's going to have to because I think there needs to be a reset before we go into that third game ahead of the quarter fight the second round sorry because it isn't right and the pattern is there now over two games and it will reemerge I think and it will cost us we know how this ends if we carry on as we are so I think G's been brilliant over for England over the last four or five tournaments but this is a real test of him now because I think it's the first time he's got that many talented players and he he doesn't quite know how to get them in jail something I feel for him because we've tried it in the last 15 minutes not just me writing down there even we're struggling with the idea of leaving a folden out or a cane out or a Bellingham out or other countries do do it I mean it's interesting reading all the all the other European journalists today they go we have an ex-player who's terrific but he doesn't fit the system he doesn't fit the balance therefore he's left out so maybe the time is coming well yeah like I'm not saying it is necessarily foden it is somebody though is it to get the better b i mean i h I find it really difficult to think about the leave leaving Phil Fen out of our football team yeah that that doesn't I don't that don't sit well with me but at the end of the day we talking about Cole Palmer is Cole Palmer the fifth best player in this as a Winger in this in this in this in this squad no way how can Cole Palmer not even get a a look in with the kind of player he is can I just say as well with Trent I I it can't I feel so sorry for him because he's coming as a so-called quarterback with no one moving what's he supposed to do you know I mean you said how hard it is right to go in there and do what he's doing and he's come in there with no plan of what he's supposed what he's supposed to just go in and do what he's in for we've got mve running we we'll look back in 5 10 years and I think we'll laugh and regret that Trent Alexander Arnold couldn't get in the England team at right back now Kyle Walker needs to play somewhere and obviously in the past tripier was for instance against Italy I think in the final three years ago trippy was right wing back and Kyle Walker was right center back to not have Trent Alexander Arnold in our team in his position that he plays best I think we'll look back in five six seven eight years and think what we massive with midfielders who've been playing in that position for years and years at the top level and all of a sudden they throw Trent in the middle of the park he's not used to I know he's played the odd game here and there I expected what about the big decision to leave whoever it is out for the sake of better balance well that's that's the manager's job yeah that's what Garrett's paid to do and there's always been question marks over Garrett is he brave enough is he courage and braver he's been mentioned this is a big test for gett over next few days
