Gary Neville has urged Thomas Tuchel to make two England changes for Saturday's final World Cup group game against Panama.
The former Manchester United defender believes Morgan Rogers and Nico O'Reilly should both come into the side as the Three Lions look to secure top spot in Group L.
England started their campaign with an entertaining 4-2 win over Croatia but were brought back down to earth by Ghana on Tuesday, with Tuchel's side held to a frustrating 0-0 draw.
That result has sparked debate over the balance of the team, particularly on the left flank, where Anthony Gordon has struggled to make a decisive impact in England's opening two matches.
Many supporters have called for Marcus Rashford to replace the Barcelona winger against Panama.
But Neville does not believe the issue should be framed as a straight choice between Gordon and Rashford.
Instead, he thinks England may require a different type of player if Panama sit deep and attempt to frustrate Tuchel's side in the same way Ghana did.
"All the top teams have to do this," Neville told Sky Sports.

"Manchester City under Pep Guardiola have spent probably 90 per cent of their games in the last 10 years, camped in on the edge of the opposition box, attacking the opposition box where all the defenders are all in a very concentrated space.
"At Manchester United when we were playing, when teams came back to Old Trafford and they sat deep, it's really difficult to break down teams sometimes."
Neville believes England must learn from the Ghana stalemate by committing more bodies forward and improving their delivery into the penalty area.
"And what I think England will do is learn from that game against Ghana the other day that maybe putting more crosses in the box, getting more bodies in the box earlier in the game," he added.

"So there are things that I think we can do against Panama that will help us more than they did against Ghana.
"Maybe Ghana was a bit of a dress rehearsal for certain games that we're going to face moving forwards."
Tuchel has already suggested he could make "moderate" changes for England's final group match.
And Neville wants Rogers to be given an opportunity from the left, arguing the Aston Villa star offers more subtlety than Gordon or Rashford.
"I don't want to pile on to Anthony Gordon because I think he's a really good player," Neville said.
"He's had two difficult games, but I didn't think that Marcus Rashford should come on on that left-hand side. I actually thought it should be Morgan Rogers.
"I actually like the idea of Morgan Rogers coming off that left-hand side. I think someone who can just sort of connect on that left-hand side a little bit better for us.

"They're the players that, you know, really, if you're counter-attacking, you'd want them on the pitch, but if Panama are going to be very difficult to break down, you're going to need players with a little bit more invention, a little bit more subtlety in the game.
"I think that's Rogers or Eze there on that left-hand side, I don't think it's a Gordon or Rashford argument for me on that left-hand side."
Neville also believes O'Reilly should replace Djed Spence at left-back.
"I like Djed Spence, I've got a lot of time for him," he said.
"I can see that he sort of works hard, but I think Nico O'Reilly will probably come back in.
"So I'd like to see Nico O'Reilly and Morgan Rogers off that left-hand side.
"The rest of the team. I'm pretty comfortable leaving it as it is. I don't think you should throw the baby out with the bathwater just because you're not being able to break Ghana down."
