Gareth Southgate: Three questions for England boss after Brazil defeat at Wembley

Gareth Southgate said he was 'pleased' with England's performance in their 1-0 defeat to Brazil - but there were issues raised across the pitch. England were without 12 squad regulars for the friendly and were beaten by a late finish from Endrick, leaving Southgate to pick out aspects of the game which encouraged him in his post-match press conference.

'Conor's coming in off a slightly different position, having to play slightly deeper,' admitted Southgate. Too often England were caught on the counter-attack by Rodrygo and Lucas Paqueta, who turned away from Gallagher early on and played Vinicius through on goal in the 12th minute. Jordan Henderson would be the obvious pick against better opposition despite his disjointed season. He is one of Southgate's tried and trusted midfielders.
