Roy Keane’s significant anxiety over Gareth Southgate’s choice is evident in England’s match against Slovenia.
In Tuesday’s match, Southgate made one alteration to the lineup that had previously faced Serbia and Denmark in the group stage. Chelsea star Glenn Gallagher was substituted into the middle of the field.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Declan Rice have started in midfield for the opening two games as Southgate hopes Gallagher’s presence will provide his team a much-needed boost after their poor performances in Germany.
Although he believes Gallagher is capable, former Manchester United captain Keane is skeptical that Gallagher possesses the technical ability to significantly improve England’s performance.Keane said ITV that he saw it as a great opportunity.
Even though he puts in a lot of effort, there are times when I think he’s playing below his potential. He is always forthright, has an impeccable work ethic, and isn’t afraid to pitch in when needed. His possession quality, however, is debatable.
Neville, however, is concerned about the midfield combination of Gallagher and Rice, questioning if they are convincing enough when receiving the ball and when generating chances from the back.Our goalkeepers and center backs may not be our strongest suit because, to this day, I do not believe they are particularly good at receiving the ball.
We are, nonetheless, incredibly energized. Strong midfielders with good dribbling skills seem to be Gareth’s current target.
“Conor presses the ball really well and his forward running is an important asset as well. We thought he can stretch them defensively and add in an important area in midfield winning second balls and trying to win the ball further up the pitch,” Southgate explained before kickoff, explaining his decision to bring Gallagher in.
We can improve our results by winning the ball higher and maintaining composure when we get it. While we have been honest in our assessments of our own performance, we are also well cognizant of the fact that much work remains; yet, words are cheap; the actual labor starts now.
