- Southgate's decision to start Trippier over Alexander-Arnold has been criticised
England fans have been left baffled by Gareth Southgate's decision to start Kieran Trippier over Trent Alexander-Arnold for today's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland.
The England boss has opted to switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation for the first time in the tournament, and many expected the right wing-back role to be occupied by Alexander-Arnold.
However, Southgate has given the nod to Newcastle's Trippier - a controversial call which has received plenty of criticism.
'Trippier over Trent is criminal,' one fan posted on X after England's starting XI was confirmed.
Another added: 'You make a formation that would cater for Trent's strengths & weaknesses just to play Trippier.'
One supporter was also unconvinced by Southgate's decision-making, as they wrote: 'Trippier over Trent….not sure.'
