Gary Neville slams 'BASIC' England and admits bore draw with Slovenia was a 'struggle to watch' - as he names the one player 'certain' to start in the last-16

Daily Mail  

Gary Neville said England were 'rigid' and a 'struggle to watch' during their goalless draw with Slovenia at Euro 2024 on Tuesday. Gareth Southgate's side produced another underwhelming performance in their final Group C outing, although the result in Cologne was still good enough to secure top spot. England ended their group stage campaign with a whimper in a 0-0 draw with Slovenia Gary Neville cut an unimpressed figure on punditry duty for ITV's coverage of the Group C tie However, the former Manchester United man reserved praise for some of Southgate's subs Former England striker Ian Wright felt manager Gareth Southgate's second-half substitutions, particularly the introductions of Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer, gave the team a better look. Neville singled out Kobbie Mainoo as a nailed-on starter for England's knockout matches The pundit also suggested that Crystal Palace youngster Adam Wharton could also be in the mix for the last-16 'Mainoo does that. Ange Postecoglou called upon Gareth Southgate to shake things up with his starters The Australian said: 'It's always a tough one with young players.
