Arnold - "dark spot" in England squad
After 2 matches, Arnold is the biggest disappointment of the England team. The biggest problem of the Liverpool star when playing as a central midfielder is the lack of connection with the satellites around him. Arnold moves unreasonably, leading to rarely receiving the ball. Before Slovenia, the British press reported that coach Southgate will replace Arnold with Gallagher. Graphics: Quynh Anh.

A series of big names in English football such as Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes criticized coach Southgate for not helping the "Three Lions" play explosively at EURO 2024 as expected. In response, Southgate declared that everyone should stay calm and wait for an England team to explode like in the past many years.

Waiting for the reserve stars of "Three Lions"
After two poor performances, Foden is likely to be benched against Slovenia. In the left forward position, Anthony Gordon is Southgate's preferred option if he replaces Foden.

"Three Lions" deadlocked
With only 4 shots after 40 minutes, England are really stuck against Slovenia. The "Three Lions" midfield with Rice, Gallagher and Bellingham is not working effectively, leading to uncoordinated attacks.

End of first half
England endured a difficult 45 minutes against the resilience and discipline of Slovenian players. In fact, Slovenia were the team that played more cohesively and launched more attacking moves.

Time's up
The "Three Lions" were held to a 0-0 draw by Slovenia. In the same match, Serbia drew 0-0 with Denmark. At the end of Group C, England advanced to the next round as group leader. Denmark finished second. Slovenia finished third with 3 points and will qualify for the round of 16.

The Three Lions have secured a place in the next round of EURO 2024. However, before the final round of matches, Southgate and his team are only 2 points ahead of the 2 teams below them, so they need to win to secure the top spot in Group C. From this basis, England will meet one of the four teams that have qualified for the round of 16 at EURO 2024.
After 2 matches, England is the “big guy” that is causing heavy disappointment. They defeated Serbia in a match that was not too overwhelming. In the match against Denmark, England played even worse, despite taking the lead but were equalized. Southgate put on the field a team that was rated as all-star but the positions could not find a common voice. The “Three Lions” playing style did not show any special moves, or maybe Southgate was hiding his cards.
After 2 matches, Southgate's experiment has failed. Trent Alexander-Arnold has not performed well in the central midfield role. Phil Foden was trampled by Jude Bellingham. Bellingham and Bukayo Saka's support for Harry Kane was not good enough, leading to the England captain being "hungry for the ball".
Against Slovenia, coach Southgate will adjust the squad. British media reported that Conor Gallagher was chosen to start instead of Arnold. In addition, Foden could make way for Anthony Gordon or Cole Palmer. Southgate will have to solve another headache when finding someone to replace Kieran Trippier at left-back.
Slovenia has 2 points after 2 matches and still has a chance to continue. The "Three Lions" must be careful when their opponent is a team that plays proactive defense and is full of fighting spirit.
