Sven-Goran Eriksson has had his say on who should start in attack for England and fans are now beginning to understand why he failed with the 'Golden Generation'.

The former England manager reckons Gareth Southgate should opt for Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling at Euro 2020.

Asked who he'd pick in attack, he replied: "I would pick Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling & Marcus Rashford."

He's snubbed the likes of Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho.

Eriksson based his selection on pace and reckons the Three Lions could kill teams on the counter.

But fans aren't convinced with Rashford and Sterling as they mocked the Swede, poking fun at his reign as England spell.

One tweeted: "This is what Southgate will do and it's why Sven wasn't successful."

A second wrote: "These man just want pace merchants man. Give me some ballers. Kane, Sancho and Grealish should be the front three."

A third wrote: "Lol Sven had some brilliant players at his disposal and he failed."

A fourth commented: "Can't him seriously he put Scholes left mid."

A fifth added: "Can see why Sven wasted the golden balls generation."

Grealish started in attack against Austria and impressed fans as England won 1-0.

He was influential in his side's only goal of the game on a night that he improved his chances of playing against Croatia on June 13.

Who should Southgate start in attack for the Euros opener? Let us know.
