England were better against Slovenia than they were against Denmark. The bar was horrendously low, mind. We rate Gareth Southgate's players.

We called for Anthony Gordon to start and Jude Bellingham to be moved deeper but England manager Gareth Southgate did exactly what we expected, making Conor Gallagher for Trent Alexander-Arnold his only change for Tuesday’s match against Slovenia.A few passes from Kyle Walker did his team-mates no favours. A pass to Bukayo Saka went behind him and he lost it under pressure. Another pass back to Pickford was bouncing and had pace, making it awkward for his goalkeeper.

On a side note: It’s worrying when a player whose best ability is from dead-ball situations is rubbish at them, isn’t it?Had a superb defence-splitting pass for England’s disallowed opener in the 20th minute. It was better from Rice on Tuesday, mainly because it was impossible to be any worse or as bad than he was vs Denmark.It took Conor Gallagher three minutes and 30 seconds to commit a foul. He was brought off for Kobbie Mainoo at half-time after an indifferent 45 minutes.

There were too many instances of Bellingham failing to get the ball out of his feet, making a poor pass, miscontrolling the ball, and ruining a sniff of decent link-up play between his teammates. He might be knackered after a long season, but it has been a long season for a lot of the players at Euro 2024.

The Arsenal man had a pretty quiet evening, making no key passes and not even attempting to dribble past his opposing defender once, let alone completing a dribble. It has not been his tournament thus far after showing positive signs in the opening match against Serbia.There is no question about it; Phil Foden was England’s best player against Slovenia. Unfortunately for him, he is playing in his worst position out of the three behind the striker.

Kane’s best moment arguably came when he won a foul at the perfect time during Slovenia’s best spell in the first half. He is damn good at doing that.
