Euro 2024: Jamie Carragher expresses his concerns over England's defensive depth 

My oh my what a shock, Carra reckons this Liverpool player is too good to leave out of the team 😂

I'm calling Southgate now, his best 11 is obviously as follows! -------------- Pickford -------------- TAA Walker Stones Gomez --------- Rice - Bellingham --- -- Saka -- Palmer -- Foden -- ---------------- Kane ---------------- Trent to be inverted, leaving Walker on the right of a three.

Thats why I hope we have Wharton in midfield, especially in the big games. We're getting ran thru if it's Rice, Bellingham, Foden or Rice, Trent, Bellingham.

Funnily enough, with the squad Southgate has picked, we're incredibly weak on the Left Wing.

Long as spitty isn't there we will be fine.

Why didn’t Southgate call up Tomori

Feel like all of this Trent debacle is all just a media wind up to drag as many stories and dramas out of the competition. Trent didn’t have much or if any defensive mishaps last season where he played a lot in midfield, and Liverpool were on top of the league up until him and a few other players got injured. Making a big story out of nothing, if this was a few years ago I’d understand.

Only scourers want Trent to start in Midfield even tho Trent defensively is Awfull n he can't get into RB ahead of walker for a reason 👎

Carra on Sky & Gary Neville on ITV & Henry Winter on Talk Radio all spot on, in saying Trent is a truly world-class passer like Pirlo & Hoddle. Jude, Foden, Harry & Saka have been banging Gareths door as they need Trents (Pirlo/Hoddle like) brave passes to unlock the best defences. GOAT Boss Clough said he spoke with Sir Alf & both agreed they wuda won 1986 & 1990 World Cups by playing Bryan Robson, Hoddle, John Barnes & Gazza in midfield w Robson as the pivot & Hoddle in Trents position on the right. Bobby Robson would not play Bryan Robson & Hoddle together & he also over trained them & sadly increased risk of Bryan Robson & Barnes & Hoddle getting re-injured. Have a think about that. Both Clough & Sir Alf wuda taken age 19 Gazza to Mexico 1986 & built the team around Hoddles beautiful passing on the right. They wuda told Bryan Robson, "You're not surging up top, you're gonna play the John McGovern pivot role & give the ball to Hoddle first, if not possible, then to Barnes & Gazza." This info is on the Maths Profs site at UKRGMP. They are very happy with Gareths squad & say don't waste Trents world class passing skills like Sir Bobby wasted Hoddles talent by trying to get em all fit for game 1. Clough said he wuda got em fit for the KO games by resting them. That's why bosses matter more than players. It's hard to believe the FA would not choose Clough or that they sacked Sir Alf after England failed to score from 30 goal attempts vs. Poland & missed the 1974 World Cup. (Bosses not to blame if the team miss sitters). The Profs really like Gareths decision making & think he has evolved into Sir Alf 2.0

Pirlo, Scholes, Xavi, Alonso, Modric...none of them were great defenders. They are great passers so you play them midfield next to a good DM and let.tll them dictate the play. Trent can do that kind of job. He's actually better defensively than any of those greats mentioned above, and as good with the ball at his feet.

not a liverpool fan but Trent is a unique talent. His technique is world class.

Listen most tournaments we've been strong defensively and been sent home packing, our depth now is forward areas, it's time for us to score goals, Manchester United under fergie, Klopp at Liverpool you only have to see the opening few games of this tournament to realise that, sitting back playing the safe game only hinders you, Scotland, Croatia and Albania all setout to contain and got battered but then looked more comfortable playing positively not so much Scotland but you know what I mean, it's time to stop this negativity around our defence and put belief init! do you think any war in the past was fought by being negative to the front lines going into battle? it's why we fail as a nation every single tournament because we don't know how to utilise our players and get that extra 10 or 20% out of them when it counts! Italians and Germans are masters of this! stop the F negativity and install a confidence and belief like there's no issues!! use and go with what you got!!!

England's defence is questionable

All we want to see is an attack mindset. Just go for it. No slow sideways anf backwards passing. We know our defence is ropey so thats even more reason to attack, goals win games

Hey Mr. Southgate....a piece of advice Avoid the home media and focus, you'll do great Good luck 👍 We need this first 3points

Nahh it's acc bare tight on Jamie, lol. He's been left on his own, while most of the sky boys are with ITV and Micha's with BBC 😅

we should show England that we are with them all the way together, you'll never walk alone 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽💪🤞🍀❤️

All of the sky stories on here seem to have negative headlines when it’s about England. First it’s negativity about Trent, now it’s negativity about our defence. Cheer up sky and create some positivity around the team instead of forcing us to watch this miserable stuff

Looks like he's trying to force one out 😂

mate we get it every pundit repeating the same thing is doing my head in why dont we start been positive no wonder we havent won it

He is right. But it's not important in this match. Serbian team have only one player, Tadić, who is important, but he has 36 year. So Mitrović or Tadić will be isolated if they stop him. Serbian team is in big crises last couple of years. Old, uncreative, confusing, predictable and slow. In Serbia is generally depressive atmosphere about this tournament.

YES JAMIE.🔥.

It's coming home no matter what nobody will stop us Bellingham is better than Messi Best player In the universe It's coming home

P.scholes great passer can't leave him out the team let's put him on the left 😂 😅

International football is slower?😂😊

We will lose and people will die.

Is there anything more grating than a full blown Scouse accent 😖

Oh wow, why am i not surprised, nevile keane and fat rooney all have a major chip on their shoulder about trent 😂 i wonder if it has anything to do with them being ex Manchester United. What a set of muppets

England not fauvorit. Germany, France, Spain and Italy yeah.
