England beat Slovakia to enter Euro 2024 quarter-finals
England (4-3-3)
Jordan Pickford 6
He had an odd vitality and it was stressed, darting round and pushing ahead to hitch the centre-backs when he had the ball. That being mentioned, he isn’t the issue with this staff and at occasions he should be shocked by what’s in entrance of him. No surprise he needs to become involved within the sport!
kyle walker 4
A penny for Trent Alexander-Arnold's ideas? Walker was both dropping the ball or letting Slovakia run in behind him within the first half. He didn't add something near what he ought to have achieved in assault – and hasn't. All of a sudden, he appeared his 34 years right here.
Kyle Walker was both dropping the ball or permitting Slovakia to get behind him within the first half
john stones 5
He didn't take accountability within the build-up to Slovakia's aim and there have been moments when he lacked focus – his sleepiness allowed Strelek to attain from midway. Too many ineffective passes within the defensive third. He's not a defensive chief like Butcher, Adams or Terry and England miss that.

Marc Guehi 5.5
He was pushed within the air after which was sluggish to get his run on to scorer Schranz. In his defence, he took a thump in an aerial problem. Redeemed himself with a header flick for Bellingham's equaliser and made an enormous goalmouth block at 0-0. It's a disgrace he'll miss the quarter-final due to an early reserving, even when shaky right here.
Kieran Trippier 5
Guehi missed a cross that led to a reserving for a teammate and had an incredible likelihood go over the bar throughout a troublesome first half. He did properly to manage the ball and cross for Foden to complete, however was let down because the scorer was dominated offside. Not his fault, however having a proper again on the left is a critical problem for the staff's steadiness.
Declan Rice 5.5
When Schranz stepped out of his space to attain he was not alert sufficient to trace him and he isn’t enjoying with the type of swagger and drive he normally does for Arsenal. He offers his greatest and was unfortunate when cracking the put up within the second half, however he isn’t offering the dynamism in midfield that he ought to. It’s all a little bit of huff and puff, and he isn’t blowing something away.
Kobbie Mainoo 7
He was the one constructive within the first half as he tried to make issues occur – and that is for the youngest participant within the staff. He put the others to disgrace in that regard and confirmed extra braveness on the ball than the others. He would have been MOM if England hadn't gained after his late withdrawal.
Kobby Manu was the one constructive to emerge from England's first-half efficiency.
Bukayo Saka 5
One or two nice moments however that's it – a theme of his match. From an attacking viewpoint he's not doing sufficient to be picked forward of Palmer. He did properly for the staff when switched in additional time but it surely's far beneath his greatest, particularly for England.
Jude Bellingham 7.5
The saviour, however solely on the again of one other surprising efficiency. He’s a strolling ego and maybe solely gamers with that sense of worth may execute the overhead kick that he did. He stays an enormous cause for this staff's poor efficiency. Nonetheless, the aim got here from Roy of the Rovers and with out it England would have been out. For that, he’s MOM.
Jude Bellingham once more had some irritating moments however scored an unbelievable aim
Phil Foden 4.5
He stayed extra on the left, as if underneath instruction, and didn't get right into a place the place he may damage the opposition. Absolutely Southgate can't play him on the left wing once more after this? He ought to have stayed behind the ball, even when heading for offside on aim. Place within the staff is in danger after a largely nameless night time. Poor supply too.
Phil Foden has not been in a position to get right into a place the place he may cause harm to the opposition.
Harry Kane 6
Not within the race – once more! – however his targets acquired his nation over the ending line, and that's why they continue to be within the discipline. They benefited from Toney's presence and Southgate should think about that, as a result of alone up entrance they’re struggling, particularly in a staff that’s so sluggish and predictable.
Subsequent levels
Cole Palmer (for Trippier 66) 7
He was immediately higher than Foden and Saka within the last third – and it's a surprise why we needed to wait over an hour to see him. He should play towards Switzerland.
Have mercy on the king (for menu 84) 6.5
It was a mishit, however who cares? His determination to take a troublesome shot led to Kane's profitable aim and England appeared higher due to his vitality, even when the standard wasn't all the time there.
Ivan Toney (for Foden 90) 7.5
A sport changer. Simply by being on the pitch he gave Slovakia one thing else to fret about and helped equalise, then arrange the profitable aim for Caen. Effectively performed.
Conor Gallagher (for Kane 106) 5.5
He was introduced in to assist the staff get outcomes and he did that. He offered a bit of assist when England wanted it as his teammates had been drained.
Ezri Konsa (for Bellingham 106) 5.5
He may compete for the beginning with Guehi suspended, and he did what he needed to do within the closing levels.
Supervisor – Gareth Southgate 5
He was fortunate, very fortunate. The supervisor had appeared like a tragic and confused man earlier than Bellingham's rescue, not making adjustments shortly sufficient and ignoring gamers like Gordon who may have absolutely made a distinction.
Nonetheless, Toney's inclusion in stoppage-time helped swing the sport, and for that he deserves credit score. However actually, this was one other painful and, sadly, predictable efficiency.
Referee – Umut Meler (TUR) 5
You questioned if we had been going to finish up with a sport of 5-a-side given the flurry of early playing cards – some honest, some not. He appeared very excited for the sport and, given his nervous vitality, was good at getting by way of it with out a purple card or any critical errors.
