More questions were asked over Gareth Southgate’s tactics and team selection as England laboured to a 1-1 draw with Denmark in their second Euro 2024 game.
The Three Lions had the chance to win Group C and book their place in the knockout phase with two games to spare, but instead they were booed off the pitch by fans in the stadium and no doubt from those sitting at home, too.On paper, England have one of the strongest teams in international football, jam packed with forward-thinking players who light up the Premier League on a weekly basis.
Pundits were angry too, with England legend Stuart Pearce saying on talkSPORT: “We’ve got absolutely no idea what we’re trying to achieve.”England 'flat as a pancake' as Gareth Southgate's side stutter to Denmark draw He said after the full-time whistle: “England were clueless, talentless, hopeless, they lacked energy, they lacked ideas, they lacked quality. Just not good enough!
“Pickford wanted to send the ball long, play a pass over the top of the Denmark defence for our front line to run onto, but Rice kept telling him to calm down and kept playing it short.“Rice was playing really deep, he sold Marc Guehi short with a pass backwards that nearly got us in trouble, and it was Guehi to the rescue. Rice was poor today, that’s not normally him.
Perhaps more surprisingly it was an off-day for England's arguably two most important players in Kane and Bellingham, who were both given scores of 4/10.And on Kane, Durham added: "He scored but then gave the ball away carelessly for the Danes equaliser. Flat. Dragged off."“Again, the substitutions will be questioned. I was surprised Saka and Foden were taken off. I thought those two showed a lot of enterprise.
