That is the biggest thing that needs to change if we are going to see them play like they do for their clubs. Southgate has tried Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield alongside Declan Rice and it hasn’t worked. Then he tried Conor Gallagher in there against Slovenia and took him off at half-time because that did not work either. One of the most concerning things about watching England is that I don’t see a pattern of play when we bring the ball forward. He is clearly trying to juggle things, but it feels like more changes are going to be needed to get us firing properly.
