Neville: Dump Gordon, Start Rogers vs. Panama

England are through. Good for them. But that second group game? Yawn. Held scoreless by Carlos Queiroz's Ghana. Not exactly the follow-up to the 4-2 Croatia win we wanted.

Neville, talking to Sky Sports News, sounded remarkably… calm. "Didn't get hugely excited after Croatia, won't get that down after Ghana," he shrugged. Fair enough. He knows Queiroz. Worked under him at Manchester United. "One of the best at organising a team defensively," Neville said. The man's right. Queiroz's United blanked Messi, Henry, and Ronaldinho for 180 minutes back in 2008. That's a resume.

Panama, though. That's a different beast. Neville wants a different threat out wide. "Look, I don't want to pile in on Anthony Gordon," he told Sky Sports. "He's a good player." But Panama will sit deep. Break them down? You need "a little bit more invention, a little bit more subtlety." Rogers. That's who he means. More game intelligence than Gordon. Or Marcus Rashford, who Neville thought shouldn't have even come off the bench against Ghana. Ouch.

Oh, and Nico O'Reilly back at left-back too. Djed Spence out. The rest? Unchanged. No "throwing the baby out with the bathwater," he insisted. Just because Ghana parked the bus doesn't mean a complete overhaul. Neville briefly touched on Cole Palmer and Declan Rice. Concerns, apparently. But the details? Left them hanging. Typical.
