Carragher advises Southgate to drop two players for next Euro 2024 match.
According to Jamie Carragher, England's manager Gareth Southgate will have to make some adjustments for their upcoming match against Slovenia on Tuesday. Carragher believes that two changes need to be made in order for England to have a better chance of success.

In their previous match against Denmark, England struggled to make an impact, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Southgate had chosen to keep the same starting lineup, but eventually substituted Trent Alexander-Arnold after 54 minutes due to the midfield's inability to control the game. Phil Foden also had a quiet performance, and Carragher suggests that both players should be dropped for the next match. He proposes that Conor Gallagher should take Alexander-Arnold's place in midfield, while Anthony Gordon should start on the left wing.

Carragher explains that while he is a huge fan of Alexander-Arnold and Foden in the Premier League, their current roles in the England team are not bringing out their best qualities. Alexander-Arnold, who was originally a full-back, has been playing in a more demanding midfield position, which has not been working out. Foden, on the other hand, is struggling to find his place in the team alongside Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.

In order to create a more cohesive and complementary system, Carragher suggests playing with a 4-3-3 formation instead. He believes that Kane, who is a world-class striker, should be supported by two speedy wingers, such as Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon. This would allow Bellingham to drop deeper and assist Declan Rice in midfield. As for the remaining midfield position, Carragher believes that someone with energy and versatility, like Conor Gallagher, Adam Wharton, or Kobbie Mainoo, should be chosen.

Carragher emphasizes that this is not a negative move, but rather an essential one in order for England to succeed. He also acknowledges that there are those who suggest keeping Foden in the starting lineup, with Bellingham playing a deeper role, but he believes that this would not bring about any significant changes tactically.

In conclusion, Carragher suggests these changes in order to give England a better chance at victory against Slovenia. He also mentions that he will be providing further analysis and updates on Chelsea news in the future.
