Fans want a change to the starting XI ahead of England's quarter-final clash against Switzerland.

Fans never want to see a player in an England shirt ever again following their dramatic victory over Slovakia at Euro 2024.

England secured their spot in the next round of the tournament following their thrilling 2-1 victory in Gelsenkirchen.

Ivan Schranz opened the scoring in the 25th minute and his strike seemed destined to be enough for Slovakia to book their place in the quarter-finals.

Jude Bellingham had other ideas as he produced a moment of magic deep, deep into injury time to send the last-16 clash into extra-time as fans spotted what he said during his celebration.

Harry Kane then put England ahead just one minute into the restart.

The Three Lions resume their campaign next Saturday when they face Switzerland in the quarter-finals.

And ahead of the showdown for a spot in the semi-finals, England fans don't want to see Kieran Trippier in the starting XI.

Supporters on social media turned on Trippier as they made their feelings clear on social media.

People have had enough of the Newcastle United defender and never want to see him play an international match ever again following his performance against Slovakia.

One X user slammed: "Trippier should never play for England again."

A second exclaimed: "Trippier should never play for England again the guy is shite."

A third added: "Never want to see Walker & Trippier play for England again."

A fourth said: :Trippier stitching Guehi up leading to a yellow card in 3 minutes. Fantastic. It’s a mystery how he still plays for England let alone starts at a tournament."

Another commented: "Pathetic how Trippier made the tournament never mind starting every one. Been horrific for ages."

Trippier has started all four of England's game at Euro 2024.

But fans hope Gareth Southgate drops him, with the likes of Liverpool's Joe Gomez or Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa at his disposal.

Gareth Southgate’s replacement may have been decided.

The 2024 European Championships may be Gareth Southgate's final tournament as England manager, and the FA may have already picked his replacement.

The knockout stages of Euro 2024 are set to get underway this weekend as 16 of the best teams on the continent will face off to secure their place in the quarter-finals.

After Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Slovenia, England finished on top of Group C with a total of five points.

With the final matches of the group stage still to be played, England will have to wait until Wednesday evening to discover who they will face on Sunday in the round of 16.

But, despite securing his side’s place in the knockouts, Gareth Southgate has received significant backlash from England fans, with some suggesting that he should be sacked before this weekend’s fixture.

And recent reports suggest that, should Southgate depart as England manager, his replacement will be likely be Lee Carsley.

According to HITC, the current England Under-21 coach is favourite to succeed Southgate, who himself came from the U21 coaching role, with the FA favouring an idea of succession rather than appointing someone from outside the current system.

Carsley has been with the FA for nearly a decade and led the Young Lions to glory last summer as England defeated Spain 1-0 in the European Under-21 Championship final.

The 50-year-old is well thought of across Europe and has already turned down several jobs in international management, including from the Republic of Ireland.

Ahead of the tournament, reports suggested that the FA were satisfied with Southgate’s performances as manager and were set to offer him a new contract to lead England for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

But, the 53-year-old has suggested that, should he fail to end England's 58 year wait for a trophy this summer, he will step down as manager of the Three Lions.

Speaking to German newspaper BILD, Southgate said: “If we don't win, I probably won't be here anymore. So maybe it is the last chance.

“I think around half the national coaches leave after a tournament – that's the nature of international football. I've been here almost eight years now and we've come close.

“You can't constantly put yourself in front of the public and say, ‘A little more please’ as at some point people lose faith. If we want to be a great team and I want to be a top coach, you must deliver in big moments.”
