Gary Neville admits he would feel 'very uncomfortable' if England forward was dropped after Euro 2024 struggles... as he suggests how Gareth Southgate could fix his side's problems

Gary Neville has said he would feel 'very uncomfortable' if an England man was dropped at Euro 2024.

There have been countless calls for Gareth Southgate to switch up his starting XI at Euro 2024 on the back of two tepid performances agaisnt Serbia and Denmark in Group C.

A number of attacking players have disappointed at the tournament so far, with the likes of Phil Foden, Harry Kane and Trent Alexander-Arnold all some way off their best in Germany.

That has led to calls for the likes of Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon to go into the side, with Southgate expected to make changes for the Three Lions' final group game against Slovenia on Tuesday.

Neville, however, speaking on Sky Sports, has called for the England boss to stick with one man in particular, despite his struggles at the tournament so far. 

'The big question mark is obviously around Phil Foden,' Neville began. 'There is something inside me that feels instinctively very uncomfortable leaving Phil Foden out of an England team.

'Purely because if we can't make Phil Foden and Trent Alexander-Arnold international football players for England then we've got a real probem.

'Other nations wouldn't do that, and we would regret it in years to come.'

Eberechi Eze was introduced for Foden in the second half of England's draw with Denmark on Tuesday, with Gordon, who is yet to see a minute at the Championship, rooted to the bench.

Southgate mate wholesale changes in the second half, also hauling off Kane and Saka, with Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen introduced as substitutes.

They failed to make the desired impact, however, leaving fans and pundits scratching their heads over why Southgate is struggling to get the best out of some of Europe's top players.

He has so far stuck with Jude Bellingham playing as a No 10 in a 4-2-3-1 system, with Declan Rice and Alexander-Arnold behind him, though it has widely been accepted that the experiment involving the Liverpool man is over.

Neville, however, has suggested a potential change of system in a bid to allow some of England's best players to thrive.

'I don't know whether it's a change of system to get them all in,' Neville said. 'Whether that's go three at the back to get Alexander-Arnold in at wing back, do somehting a bit stark.

'Have a little bit less protection in midfield becuase you have three at the back and maybe Rice in front with Mainoo or something like that, he did that in the Euros against Italy.'

A potential move to a back three could see Kyle Walker move inside to centre back alongside John Stones and Marc Guehi, thought it would likely involve more attacking emphasis being placed on Kieran Tripper, already out of position at left back.

If Foden were to keep his place, meanwhile, with Mainoo being added in, it would likely mean Bukayo Saka would find himself relegated to the bench, with Jude Bellingham unlikely to be dropped.
