England limped over the line in the 2026 World Cup<\/a> group stages with a cagey 2-0 win against Panama. The result sees the Three Lions<\/a> finish first in Group L, but one player’s performance hasn’t gone down well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Tuchel’s men are supposed to be among the favourites to win the whole competition<\/a>, but while they are progressing to the Round of 32, many fans have been left worried after this performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The German coach made five changes from the previous disappointing draw against Ghana. Jarrel Quansah, Nico O’Reilly, Morgan Rogers, Bukayo Saka<\/a> and Marcus Rashford all came into the starting XI. However, one of them has received strong criticism online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England Fans Unimpressed With Morgan Rogers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before the United States, Canada and Mexico-hosted tournament got underway earlier this month, there was a huge debate regarding who would start between Jude Bellingham<\/a> and Morgan Rogers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many felt the latter would get the nod as the most attack-minded midfielder after some issues between Tuchel and Bellingham. Rogers was brilliant for Aston Villa last season, and appeared in pole position to start in the opening game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, his Real Madrid<\/a> compatriot started against Croatia and scored an important goal. Bellingham was then named Man of the Match against Ghana and scored the winner vs Panama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogers started alongside him in this game, but failed to deliver. The 23-year-old was outclassed by his rival No.10 and it would be a surprise to see him start the first knockout match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry Kane ranks among the players with most World Cup Man of the Matches, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo joining him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans were quick to criticise his display, particularly in the opening 45 minutes. “You could\u2019ve told me Rogers wasn\u2019t playing and I\u2019d believe you. Completely useless against a low block,” one England supporter posted on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another claimed: “Stocks falling on Rogers, been dreadful,” while the Aston Villa man was even labelled ‘non-existent’: “Rogers has been non-existent.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Rashford got some stick alongside him as another X user said: “Not playing well at all. Rashford is no better than Gordon. Rogers waste of space.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some were critical of Thomas Tuchel’s<\/a> squad selection. There were fans quick to point out that Cole Plamer could’ve thrived in such a game. One said: “England needed a Cole Palmer today, not Saka or Rogers,” while another added: “Feels like this performance is once again showing that this team needs a Palmer more than it does a Rogers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don\u2019t care how good a season Rogers had, you can\u2019t tell me Palmer wouldn\u2019t be infinitely more effective in this team.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
