In the opening two matches of the Euros, England has managed a draw and a win, but the team’s performance has fallen short of expectations. In an interview, former England star Wayne Rooney detailed Southgate’s “Ten Commandments of Mistakes” in his column for The Times.
1. Deploying Arnold in midfield;
2. Playing Foden on the left wing;
3. Not starting Anthony Gordon;
4. Lack of energy and tempo on the pitch;
5. Not including Henderson, Grealish, and Rashford in the squad;
6. Poor communication among players, with a lack of reminders;
7. Poor substitution choices – Eze and Bellingham on instead of Gordon and Palmer could have been more effective;
8. Southgate’s stubbornness;
9. Tactical errors – rushing forward too eagerly, leaving opponents ready to defend;
10. Too many options leading to tactical confusion – the coaching strategy overly complex.
Each point highlights Rooney’s critique of England’s head coach’s decisions during the tournament.
