The England football team entered the tournament as one of the biggest favourites. However, they failed to convince in their opening two matches, scoring a single goal. After the goalless draw with Scotland, the fans could not take England’s tortured display and started booing their favourites.

A “correction” is therefore expected from the Czech Republic match and more and more personalities in the Islands are sharing their observations and remotely advising Gareth Southgate on who to put in the game. Here are some opinions:

Stan Collymore, former Liverpool striker advises to field Tyrone Mings rather than Harry Maguire against Schick.

“A striker in form and with three goals in two games would certainly prefer to go up against a tall central defender who is a bit rusty and hasn’t played a game for six weeks, rather than a defender who runs around with him all over the place.”

Star striker Wayne Rooney, who has also represented England extensively in his time, would then like to see Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish in the starting eleven.

However, that would mean that only Manchester City’s star midfielder Phil Foden would have to start on the bench. Foden is “drowned out” on the edge of the pitch, according to Rooney. Grealish, he says, would suit England’s style of play better.

Rooney also backed the heavily-discussed Harry Kane. He had started both previous games and was almost invisible. According to the former Albion striker, this is a mistake by the whole team, from which the star Tottenaham striker is not getting enough support.

Rooney is therefore clear that Kane would be better suited to work with Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the top.

It is Kane, however, who divides the English public. Some are advising Southgate to send in Jadon Sancho, who would be able to support his style of play.

others are calling for a complete change. These fans may not be too happy, because Southgate has backed his captain. Kane will be in the starting eleven. Will the star striker repay his trust with a goal?
