Thus, England’s group has ended with only one match with a win-loss result and the remaining 5 draws. Luckily, the only team with a win was England and the worst team with a loss was Serbia and was bitterly eliminated. This is probably the only positive thing after England’s group stage when they finished at the top and avoided the bracket full of other championship candidates, but to be honest, if they play like this, it will be difficult for England to get through the round of 16.
England’s problem after 3 matches is probably obvious to everyone, so I don’t want to repeat it, but looking at the way Gareth Southgate solved the problem, it was too slow and rigid. As for England’s third midfielder, Southgate did not use Kobbie Mainoo until today, and in fact, when Mainoo came on the field, England’s offensive front showed much improvement. Next, the presence of Cole Palmer also makes England have more sudden passing situations. 
Finally, Gordon, with just the last 5 minutes, still made his mark with a direct pass that led to Palmer’s opportunity.The common point of the three names above is that they are all players with little experience playing for the national team, so from Gareth Southgate’s perspective, those with more experience are always favored, regardless of what young players can do in the national team. test matches, they remained largely ignored. Gary Neville, when on air today, had an accurate comment that with each change of player,
England played a little better. After today’s match, Mainoo’s starting position has probably been determined after both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Gallagher failed the test. The Foden-Bellingham problem still has no solution if both are used, so Southgate will probably continue to use them. Besides, we really need Shaw’s return because the left wing is so bad.
