Fans praised Kobbie Mainoo for his impact after coming on at half time of England's draw with Slovenia at Euro 2024. For the game, Southgate made one change to the team, with Conor Gallagher replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield, but the Chelsea man only lasted half-an-hour before being replaced by Mainoo. It was a move that was praised by fans, with many questioning why Gallagher was the man to replace the Liverpool defender-turned-midfielder. Another wrote: '3min in and Kobbie Mainoo has done more than any England central midfielder has done in the Euro.' 'Instant impact from Mainoo,' one fan added on X.Mainoo showed that why he's the reason on why he has to start in our England midfield for Sunday alongside Rice so Southgate better start Mainoo in that Midfield,' added another.
