The Three Lions had a hesitant start, with an otherwise boring first half featuring one threatening Kieran Trippier delivery and a goal that was disallowed due to some clever play by Phil Foden.

Even with the arrival of Kobbie Mainoo and later Cole Palmer, the lack of pace, movement, and inventiveness persisted in the second half, as England was unable to generate clear-cut opportunities for the full ninety minutes.

Because of the outcome of the previous match between Denmark and Serbia, England was able to secure the top spot in Group C; yet, there were noticeable jeers before the final whistle as Gareth Southgate’s problems at Euro 2024 continue.ENGLAND (4-2-3-1)Jordan Pickford: 7

was never in jeopardy, but so far, it appears that they have developed a respectable alliance with Guehi.

Kieran Trippier (six)

The Newcastle player had to exercise extra caution due to an early booking, which had an impact on his performance in general. Played out of position, he can only do so much, but he did deliver a few of threatening crosses.

Declan Rice (6)

completed the tasks assigned to him in defense, but made minimal contributions in advanced areas.

Conor Gallagher: Five

Although the system may not have been to blame, he was merely ineffectual and underwhelming when England got the ball. Even though Southgate has tried this before, his time will probably come in different kinds of games.

Saka Bukayo: 6

was unfortunate that Foden had strayed offside for the goal that was not permitted. Frequently assumed the role as the team’s main creator. couldn’t match his first two games’ performance.

Jude Bellingham, age six

was oddly quiet the entire time, even though the second half saw an improvement. changed places a lot and gave the impression that the manager wasn’t giving him enough guidance.Phil Foden – 6

was the one trying to help England once more, but this time it wasn’t his night. Energized, yet unable to locate that last bit of excellence.

Harry Kane: 6

As he was tonight, Kane has been a symbol of England’s difficulties thus far in this tournament. Hasn’t been his normal self and on a few instances wasn’t in the “right” position in the box.Alternatives:

Mainoo Kobbie – 6

was a step up from Gallagher and did nothing to hurt his chances of landing a starting position. occasionally shares strong links with Palmer and Bellingham, but she is also another casualty of perhaps being the wrong kind of person for the “system.”

Cole Palmer, seven

Upon entering, he had completed two plays that exhibited genuine creativity in less than ten minutes. occupied defenders, blended in perfectly, and constituted one of England’s only real dangers.

N/A Trent Alexander-Arnold

Not enough time to make a difference in the game.

N/A Anthony Gordon

Someone else who hasn’t been given enough chances.
