England v Slovakia team news: Mainoo in for Gallagher

30 June 2024 595 comments

Skonto Rigga

The first of the day’s two European Championship round of 16 matches sees England take on Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen.

Kick-off is at 17:00 BST.

Gareth Southgate, rather predictably, makes just one change to the England side that drew with Slovenia.

It’s a much-anticipated alteration, too, as Kobbie Mainoo (€5.4m) replaces Conor Gallagher (€6.4m) in midfield.

There aren’t too many countries with a more settled team than England but Slovakia are one of them.

Head coach Francesco Calzona names an unchanged team from Matchday 3.

He’s made only one starting XI alteration over Slovakia’s last five matches, that being David Strelec (€5.5m) in for Robert Bozenik (€6.0m) ahead of the Romania game last week.

Strelec keeps his place tonight.

LINE-UPS

England XI: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Mainoo, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Foden; Kane.

Slovakia XI: Dubravka; Pekarik, Vavro, Skriniar, Hancko; Kucka, Lobotka, Duda; Schranz, Strelec, Haraslin.

Is it really the managers fault, though? The players just miss the foreigners from their teams that make them look better than they actually are.

Guys, it's ok.
England completed 348 passes v Slovakia's 83.
And 75% v 25% possession.

We're the kings of tiki-taka, and won the game playing Pep Guardiola's school of football.

Let's liven it up.

Bring on Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon.

Knowing Gareth, he'll want to keep fresh legs for extra time..... and keep his dead weight penalty kickers on the field.

Instead of penalty training, get the job done in ninety.

    bellingham is good with his movement and dragging defenders around. foden would love that space created. kane looks half fit and barely able to control the ball.
    
    watkins won't get any space to run inbehind second half. gordon at least provides some natural width on the left and the ability to drop his shoulder and beat a man

Foden is a better no 10 than Bellingham and that is obvious to anyone with half a brain. Once KDB moves on it will be Foden controlling the show at MC but Bellingham for all the potential that he has is a million miles off KDB at this stage of his career, Foden on the other hand is a helluva lot lot closer in terms bringing what KDB does for the team.
Hopefully England can come back here and get through but unless someone twists Southgate's arm fast they will be lucky to go any further

  Foden is just a different player for club than he is for his country, same goes for most England players.
  
  It’s a shame, especially when you see the opposite for other countries, where their players perform better than at their clubs!

      Most England players play way better for their clubs.
      
      Foden playing for City will take on defenders, for England he passes sideways and looks nowhere near as effective.
      
      Eriksen, Hojbjerg play their hearts out for Denmark, more than for their clubs from what I’ve seen

      Being the best player in a treble-winning side at 21 means something though.
      
      Also the BDO was cancelled when Lewandowski should have won, Messi has 0 to do with it.

Rigid tactic.

England are playing with 10 having Kane on the field. Invisible and the only thing they’re not doing, he can’t, which is run in behind. Watkins really should be on making diagonal runs in behind asking questions of them.
