England manager Gareth Southgate faced criticism and suggestions for changes following their lackluster performances in the Euro 2024 group stages, despite topping Group C. Southgate's decision to bring on Ivan Toney late in their 2-1 comeback win against Slovakia received mixed reactions, with Toney himself feeling 'disgusted' by the timing. Gary Neville and Alan Shearer both called for significant changes to the starting XI, advocating for the inclusion of Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, and Anthony Gordon. The substitutions had a positive impact in their last match against Slovenia, making a case for these players to start in the upcoming quarterfinal against Switzerland. Southgate remains confident in his squad's ability to progress despite recent struggles.
