England vs. Slovenia: Roy Keane expresses deep concern over Gareth Southgate’s choice

After starting the same lineups against Serbia and Denmark in the group stage, Southgate made one change for Tuesday’s match, inserting Chelsea star Glenn Gallagher into the middle of the field.

Southgate is hoping that Gallagher’s arrival would give his team a much-needed boost following their lackluster performances in Germany, so Trent Alexander-Arnold and Declan Rice have been starting midfield partners for the first two games.

Though he thinks Gallagher can do it, former Manchester United captain Keane doubts Gallagher has the skill with the ball to really enhance England’s performance.ITV was told by Keane that it was a good opportunity for him.

It takes energy, but there are moments when I feel like he’s missing some real talent when he’s in a position. His work ethic is second to none, his honesty is unwavering, and he never hesitates to step up and contribute. His quality in possession, meanwhile, is up for debate.

Meanwhile, Neville is worried about Gallagher and Rice’s performance as a midfield partnership, wondering whether they are convincing enough when receiving the ball and when creating opportunities from the back.The strength of our game may not lie in our center backs or goalkeepers, because I still don’t think either of them is the greatest at receiving the ball.

Our energy levels, though, are through the roof. I believe that Gareth is now after strong midfielders who can dribble the ball away from opponents.

‘Conor presses the ball really well, his forward running is an important asset as well, so we have thought he can stretch them defensively and add in an important area in midfield winning second balls and trying to win the ball further up the pitch,’ Southgate explained before kickoff, explaining his decision to bring Gallagher in.

For better results, we need to win the ball higher and keep our cool when we have it. Our evaluations of our performances have been completely forthright, and we are well aware that there is still work to be done; nonetheless, we can only talk all we want; the real work begins now.
