Dont see the point of Rice in this set-up.
Put on another forward.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Gotta sub off Walker at half-time. Clearly the worst RB on performances and he’s not even comfortable himself out there. “Experience” isn’t really helping him with that…
Has Southgate been showing them videos of United? Be good for the first five or six minutes, then be totally crap for the rest of the first half and try to win it in the second? 
I think Scotland will give more of a game than Croatia with the energy they have. That LB in particular for Croatia is totally crap, hasn't done one good thing.
Fodens been fine, definitely take off Walker and Sterling though. They're awful.
Kane has been absolutely invisible
Croatia is dominant now. Total control of the game. Midfield is theirs but that was somewhat expected. A midfield with RIce and Philips are not good enough at top level. They might be good players in Premier League but no world class. I might be though on them but they are limited players. If England win this they will depend on Kane doing something.
Must be hard to adjust. He has to do it at spurs, but he doesn't here.
Sterling putting in a proper Sterling performance thus far, and there's people who'd want us to sign him.
Kane has looked sluggish so far. Shaw should’ve started this with Trippier at RB.
Put Rashford on the left and have Sterling or Foden just off Kane. Rice off, please.
I'd say that despite England being better and more dangerous the game develops quite ok for Croatia.
Kane seems completely isolated and Croatia might have one or two good chances.
No idea about the Cro depth, seems it might be a big factor as tiredness kicks in.
So far reasonably under control for Croatia.

Can’t believe the side Southgate has chosen. Trippier LB. Out of form Sterling and then no natural winger on the other side. Two holding midfield which are pretty much identical in style of play. All those attacking options and we end up with that starting 11.
I mean Croatia have had more of the ball since the 10th or 15th minute and some dangerous positions, but anyway...
Dropping into the space occupied by Mount when he should be on the shoulder. This isn't Spurs, Harry.
Grealish and Shaw need to come on.
Much more progressive. They'll get at Croatia

“Hmm, yes. The floor is made out of floor”
Same old England... playing not to lose instead of to win
Croatia are naff, we should be beating these comfortably
Oh hell... Southgate doing his LVG impersonation. Writing down the numbers of the chinese takeaway he wants later
I think Kane’s price might go down a few million after this tournament rather than up,
Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen him play well, probably start of 2020/21 season

Walker has been fecking awful.
Get him off
Get him off
Fecking Walker again.
Walker 
Walker
The players who you expected to be poor have been thus far.
Their lb is awful, I'd let grealish run at him and then have rash get in behind on this left side.
Walker is so fecking bad
Philips hair cut ffs
Not exactly the greatest game of football ever witnessed
My god Walker is shite. Is he on drugs?
Nobody getting up the pitch. Nobody in the box. Such a negative setup.
Was that Roger Stone dressed in full England garb then?
Who would you start instead? He's easily the best keeper in the squad.
This is so bad.
So Sancho not injured. left out. back to the wingless wonders bollox of Ole
Ideally you'd just put Sancho in to destroy him... but Southgate gonna Southgate
feckin put james on
he really isn't...
