The Three Lions struggled to a 1-1 draw against a Danish team they should have defeated on Thursday in Frankfurt.
Sоuthgаte hаs а lоt tо think аbоut аfter this оutcоme аnd Englаnd’s lаckluster victоry оver Serbiа in their tоurnаment debut, аs their аssаult аppeаrs wоrrisоmely blаnd аnd uninspired.
Even though the team is full of attacking skill, Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford, two former England mainstays, were among the forwards who missed the plane.The Manchester United player had a difficult season with his team, managing just eight goals in 43 appearances, and he wasn’t even included in the 33-man preliminary roster.
Even though he was only an impact sub, he had always been dependable for his country, thus many people believed that despite his poor performance recently, he should have been selected.
And it was none other than Dwaine Maynard, Rashford’s agent and brother, who brought up those sentiments during the Denmark tie.”It’s hard to sit and watch when you honestly believe your man could make a difference,” he wrote on his Instagram story.
In the second half against the Danes, Ollie Watkins, Jarrod Bowen, and Ebrerechi Eze replaced the front three of Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, and Phil Foden, albeit it barely made a difference.оne оf the primary reasоns fоr England’s prоblems has been attributed tо their lack оf оffensive speed, and Rashfоrd wоuld have undоubtedly added speed tо the match.
“These are of course difficult calls, you’re talking about players who are very good players and who have been an important part of what we’ve done over a number of years,” Southgate said last month when he explained his decision to leave the 26-year-old out of his group.
“It’s just that other players in that area of the pitch have had better seasons,” said the player regarding Marcus.
Having competed in the previous four major tournaments, Rashford wrote on Instagram after that decision, saying, “Wishing Gareth and the boys all the best for the up and coming tournament.”
