Would you agree with that assessment? And how can they push on in the semi-final?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I do agree it was the best performance, but I didn\u2019t think there was much improvement from the other games. I thought the other games were poor, in the way that England have played, and I thought there was a small improvement in the way they play, but not much of an improvement. So it\u2019s a very easy comment to make that they made an improvement.<\/p>\n<p>But did we see anything within that improvement to give us optimism or hope that things will improve? I think there were small signs of it, but I don\u2019t think anyone\u2019s blown away, are they, let\u2019s be honest. And I think that\u2019s the big thing here at the moment. However, the argument will be that they\u2019re through to the semi-finals and rightly so. They\u2019re slowly improving and you\u2019ve got to peak at the right time, but I just still feel there\u2019ll be a lot of nervousness within the fan base and the media about this game against the Dutch.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/england-route-to-euro-2024-final-knockouts-semi-final\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">England&#8217;s potential route to the Euro 2024 final<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a id=\"BACK-THREE\"><\/a><strong>Gareth Southgate switched to a back three for England\u2019s win over Switzerland at the weekend. Do you think he\u2019ll stick with that for the semi-final?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019ll depend on Luke Shaw\u2019s fitness, I think that\u2019ll have a big bearing on things. I think if he feels like Luke Shaw can play 70 minutes, which I think is a big ask in international football when you\u2019ve not played for that long, I think he might switch to a back four. But I think the interesting thing is that we\u2019ve seen Luke Shaw play as the left of a three for Manchester United, we\u2019ve seen him do it for England before.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019d be a big ask for him to do the wing-back position without being fully fit. That needs a lot of energy, that needs a lot of legs to be able to get up and down the pitch. I think the shape will depend on Luke Shaw being fit, but I believe he\u2019ll stick with the 3-4-3. I think it allows them to get (Jude) Bellingham and (Phil) Foden a little bit more narrow in the positions that they want to play in, and perhaps that\u2019ll give them a little bit more.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/netherlands-england-euro-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netherlands vs England predictions, tips and odds<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a id=\"LUKE-SHAW\"><\/a><strong>On Luke Shaw, he did get his first minutes in England\u2019s win over Switzerland. Would you start him for England if he\u2019s fit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would if he was fit, yeah. I think you\u2019ve almost got to because of that balance on the left-hand side. I still don\u2019t for the life of me understand [the decision]. When I saw the line-up, I think like most people, I thought (Bukayo) Saka would be on the left, I thought (Kieran) Trippier would be on the right. I thought that would have brought more balance to the team and once Luke Shaw came on, I thought we saw a vast improvement of how we played.<\/p>\n<p>I thought that was the sign where we played better, when Luke Shaw came onto the pitch, because it did give us a natural balance. But if Luke Shaw\u2019s fit, I think you\u2019ve got to play him, just for the balance of the team. And if I put myself in the position of being a centre-back and I\u2019ve got a player now that I can pass the ball to, who can drive up the pitch on their left foot. Or you can look forward in the left-back position and play that pass, and not give it to the left-back, who\u2019s Kieran Trippier, who\u2019s going to pass it back to me every time and be reluctant to hit that pass. I think it changes everything.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"KONSA\"><\/a><strong>And Ezri Konsa had a good game against Switzerland with Marc Guehi out through suspension. Does Guehi come straight back into the starting XI in the semi-final?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think this is a really difficult one, because I thought Konsa was outstanding in the game. I understood it when he came off, I understood the change, but I still thought it was a harsh change to bring him off because I thought he\u2019d been outstanding in the game.<\/p>\n<p>I think Guehi\u2019s performances in the first three games were magnificent. I think Gareth will probably be loyal to Guehi and I think that will be fully understandable. The nice thing is, with those two players is that you\u2019d be happy with either of them playing because they\u2019ve both shown, with not much experience at international level, that they\u2019re more than comfortable. They understand the pressures, they have both excelled at club level and I don\u2019t see an issue with either of them playing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does England\u2019s defence deal with Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think the interesting one with Depay is that he\u2019s a bit of a free spirit on the pitch, and he\u2019s great with certain skill and technique that he\u2019s got. I don\u2019t think you necessarily have to worry about his goal threat in the fact that he\u2019s not a fox in the box type of player, so he\u2019s not going to come to life in the box. I think if you understand how to deal with them individually, one-by-one, and don\u2019t let him turn, don\u2019t let him face you up, I think that\u2019s one of the major things.<\/p>\n<p>But the players know Depay, they\u2019ll understand his qualities. With Gakpo, I think what we\u2019re seeing from the previous tournament at the World Cup, is that this is his best position, wide left. He\u2019s used sparingly on the left for Liverpool, he\u2019s more of a central striker or on the right when (Mohamed) Salah is injured, he\u2019s used in all three forward positions. But what you\u2019re seeing now is that the manager believes that that\u2019s his best position and knows how to get the best out of him. He\u2019s very good at running at you.<\/p>\n<p>But what you\u2019ve got to understand with Gakpo is that the one thing on his mind every single time is to come inside onto the right foot and get a shot away as quickly as possible. So, whether that\u2019s a back three or a back four, the covering centre-half is going to have to step out and make sure that if the full-back or the right centre-half is beaten, that they are ready for him jumping inside and getting that shot away. And obviously (Jordan) Pickford\u2019s going to have to be alert to that as well.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"SOUTHGATE\"><\/a><strong>England are about to play their third major tournament semi-final in four attempts under Gareth Southgate. Does he deserve more credit than he currently gets? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quite possibly. I think he\u2019s done an incredible job, he\u2019s given England fans and England players who\u2019ve been involved in squads, some of the greatest summers that they\u2019ve had in supporting the team and getting to semi-finals and a final. I think there\u2019ll always be that question mark.<\/p>\n<p>If he doesn\u2019t win this Euros, it will be what if we had a manager who was more proactive in thinking, more tactically aware? A manager that you might look back on and think, if you\u2019d have changed things against Italy, what might have been? And that\u2019s the concern, that he could leave England again without winning this competition and people saying what could have been with a different manager.<\/p>\n<p>But I think overall his job as England manager has been brilliant because of the connection that he\u2019s brought back to the fans and the media and things like that. But I\u2019m still of the school of thought that he tactically falls down at times, with his substitutions, his formations and sometimes big decisions of players as well.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/england-next-permanent-manager-favourite-odds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Next England manager odds: The favourites if Gareth Southgate steps down<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a id=\"KANE\"><\/a><strong>Harry Kane has received a lot of criticism from pundits and fans at Euro 2024 so far. What have you made of his tournament, and should Southgate be considering dropping him as some have called for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think this is one of the hardest things, because Harry Kane\u2019s just scored 40-odd goals for Bayern Munich and you\u2019re looking at a player who scores goals and he\u2019s done it at the highest level. He\u2019s done it at international level for England. From Gareth Southgate\u2019s point of view, he\u2019ll just be thinking there\u2019s a goal around the corner for Harry because of his capability and he is an unbelievable finisher. And, more often than not, if you want a chance to fall to anyone within that squad, you want it to fall to Harry Kane.<\/p>\n<p>I understand that he\u2019s also the captain, which is very difficult to drop him out of the lineup. But sometimes you have to make a big decision and that\u2019s the point I was making previously is that sometimes you\u2019ve got to make a decision that\u2019s for the benefit of the team, but it\u2019s one that will upset someone at some point.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d still be reluctant to drop him, but at times there is an element where I think he can come off earlier and he can stretch the back line. I\u2019d love to see a striker up alongside him. I\u2019d love to see Ollie Watkins alongside him, or Ivan Toney. I\u2019d love to see how that dynamic would work. But then you\u2019ve got Bellingham in midfield who likes to play off the No.10. It\u2019s a very, very difficult decision for Gareth.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"SAKA\"><\/a><strong>Bukayo Saka in particular stepped up for England against Switzerland, equalising and scoring his penalty. How good has he been at the tournament so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s been great, he\u2019s been really good. I think he\u2019s been one of the best players [for England]. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s been the best player, I think there\u2019s been other players who\u2019ve done well. I think Marc Guehi has probably been England\u2019s best performer overall. But the big thing about Saka is that he\u2019s been the best of a team that\u2019s underperformed, or one of the best that\u2019s underperformed.<\/p>\n<p>I still think there\u2019s more to come from him. I still think that we can do more to get him on the ball in 1v1 situations and isolate him like Arsenal do. I think that\u2019s what he would like as well, I think it\u2019s often quite cramped. And when he gets the ball, he doesn\u2019t get to run at his defender as often as I\u2019d like to see, and as much as we see in th ePremier League.<\/p>\n<p>But I think coming back from what happened at the Euros, missing the penalty lsat time out against Italy, I think what we\u2019ve seen from him is that he\u2019s grown in personality, grown in character and if he can put in a strong performance against the Dutch we\u2019d be absolutely delighted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephen Warnock was speaking to Squawka on behalf of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betvictor.com\/en-gb\/pages\/football\/euro-betting-odds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">BetVictor<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former England defender Stephen Warnock spoke to Squawka about the Three Lions&#8217; run to the Euro 2024 semi-finals.
