England team v Switzerland – Alan Shearer selects his 11 players with three changes

Difficult to disagree with any of this from Alan Shearer.

The Newcastle United and England legend summing up what we have all seen so far from Gareth Southgate and his England players…

‘The positives are that we are through to the quarter-final. They found a way to do it, and how many times over the years have we said that teams need to do that?

In the four games they’ve played, other than the first 30 minutes they have been really poor. They can only get better, they have to get better – if they don’t, they will be coming home early. It will be really difficult to win this competition playing like they have done in the four games.’

Speaking to Betfair, Alan Shearer going on to pick his ideal England team v Switzerland.

That match kicking off at 5 pm on Saturday.

Alan Shearer making three changes in total.

Marc Guehi is suspended, however, Shearer would also leave out Foden and Saka.

Alan Shearer naming this England team v Switzerland in a 4-2-3-1 formation:

Pickford

Walker, Stones, Konsa, Trippier

Rice, Mainoo

Palmer, Bellingham, Gordon

Kane

So Konsa, Palmer and Gordon the three to come in.

After the woeful performances we have watched, thanks in the main to the clueless selections and tactics from Gareth Southgate, surely he will do something similar to what Alan Shearer suggests. Won’t he…?
