Speaking to Sky Sports, the Liverpool icon said: "This all just goes back to Thomas Tuchel's decisions around the right-back area.

He picked two very injury-prone players at right-back, he brought another right-back if you like, Djed Spence, but at left-back. He's not a right-back, so you're going to leave yourself short."One possible remedy available to Tuchel involves deploying midfielder Declan Rice at right-back.

He added: "No, I wouldn't start Declan Rice at right-back."Look, England have got a slim chance of going all the way in the World Cup, I don't think playing Declan Rice as the right-back from now until the end of the tournament would be the solution."To be honest, I think you'd leave yourself so empty in midfield. I think a lot of criticism Djed Spence has had on the back of the last game is a little over the top."He didn't have his best game, I must say that, but I don't think anyone has come out of this tournament so far with flying colours other than Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham.
