'Not done enough' - Jamie Carragher slams 'problem' position in England squad

Jamie Carragher has offered his verdict on one of Thomas Tuchel's biggest 'problems' in the England squad.

The Three Lions advanced into the last 16 of the World Cup after more Harry Kane brilliance completed a comeback against DR Congo on Wednesday.

Kane's incredible second-half brace set up a showdown with Mexico at the Azteca Stadium, with the build-up ahead of the clash being dominated by kick off times.

The original match had been set to kick off at 6pm local time on Sunday (1am BST), but concerns over flooding and thunderstorms meant FIFA proposed to bring the match forward six hours.

A 12pm kick off on Sunday (7pm BST) was scheduled before the decision was reversed after the FA were left 'deeply concerned' about the fans who had planned to attend the showdown in Mexico City.

England's clash against Mexico will now kick off at the original time, with preparations ramping up for both sides, as Tuchel mulls over multiple selection headaches in his squad.

Reece James could be available once more after missing the last two games through injury, while Jarell Quansah is also in line to return after twisting his ankle against Panama.

Djed Spence deputised in place of the injured duo in the victory against DR Congo, although he was ran ragged by Brian Cipenga and was substituted in the 70th minute, with Declan Rice filling in at right-back.

Tuchel using Rice at right-back suggests the position has caused the German huge problems, and it isn't the only area that has drawn scrutiny from the wider media.

Jamie Carragher thinks England have huge 'problem' in wide areas

Tournament football normally rewards consistency over rotation, and Tuchel has constantly chopped and changed his wide positions at the World Cup.

Arsenal stars Noni Madueke and Bukayo Saka have shared game time on the right flank, with the former starting there last time out, while Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon have done so on the left.

Rashford was poor against DR Congo and he was replaced on the hour mark by Gordon, who instantly changed the game for England, assisting Kane twice for his goals.

But despite Barcelona's new signing making a huge impact from the bench, Jamie Carragher isn't confident any of Tuchel's wide players are 'good enough' and believes it is a 'problem' position.

"The problem he’s got the wide players he’s used so far is they all look better when they don’t play," Carragher told Sky Sports.

"So whenever one of them is on the bench, it’s the best game they have because the guy on the pitch is not delivering so you think ‘let’s put him in again’.

"And I think this will continue between now and the end of the tournament or whenever it ends for England.

"I think we’ll be changing the wide players after an hour and questioning who should play, as none of them have done enough really.”

Compare England's wingers to a team like France, and it's clear they're so far behind. Unfortunately, a lack of world-class talent in wide areas could ultimately cost the Three Lions a shot at glory.
