The Mail gave Bukayo Saka the highest score on England’s team after the match against Switzerland, while not forgetting to list four “poor” players who deserved to be sent off early.

A moment of personal brilliance with a curling goal to equalize 1-1 helped Saka receive the highest score for England after a thrilling confrontation with Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals last night.

Alongside Saka, penalty shootout hero Jordan Pickford also received high marks and plenty of praise. But on the other hand, a number of stars in the Three Lions squad received “poor marks”, including many who, according to the Mail’s experts, “deserve to be kicked off the pitch after the first 60 minutes of play”.

Jordan Pickford 8

The hero of the penalty shootout, Jordan Pickford, saved Akanji’s effort. The Everton goalkeeper was hardly troubled by the Swiss attacks, remaining calm even when pressed.

Kyle Walker 6

Another ineffective game from Kyle Walker, with Embolo getting past him dangerously. However, Walker’s speed still allowed him to make timely corrections.

John Stones 7

John Stones had a great night with timely interventions in the center of defense, creating a relatively effective blocking trio for the England defense.

Bukayo Saka 9

There is nothing more to say about Bukayo Saka’s performance with individual efforts in the team’s most important equalizer. Bukayo Saka had many situations to break down, making it difficult for Swiss full-backs to keep up with him. In addition, a confident 11m kick helped Saka overcome the fear of missing the last penalty in the Euro 2020 final. England’s hero in the Quarterfinals.

 Bukayo Saka continued to show determination in every situation approaching the penalty area.

Ezri Konsa 8

Konsa made a couple of precise interventions to block Embolo’s effort, Konsa helped Jordan Pickford avoid dangerous one-on-ones.

Kieran Trippier 5

Trippier was one of the names that was heavily criticized by the English media in yesterday’s match when he was unable to launch an attack on the left wing.

Kobbie Mainoo 7

The first half saw Mainoo perform effectively, cutting into the box from midfield and having two shots blocked, before he was substituted after the break.

Declan Rice 7

Declan Rice’s proactive intervention helped him have relatively good defensive situations from a distance.

Phil Foden 6

Similar to Harry Kane, Phil Foden did not have much room to play and had to accept playing back in the middle from the first half. In the second half, the Man City midfielder also did not have any real breakthrough situations.

Harry Kane 4

The missed header and the lack of pace and timeliness made Harry Kane completely invisible in attack for 120 minutes. If it weren’t for Saka’s goal, the criticism towards Kane would have been even heavier.

Harry Kane was given low marks for his lackluster attack.

Jude Bellingham 7

The Swiss midfield space was repeatedly exploited by Jude Bellingham with his skill and speed on the wing. The most regrettable point was that his shots and efforts to face the ball could not get past goalkeeper Sommer.

Luke Shaw 7 Returning from injury, Luke Shaw showed his enthusiasm on the wing with an accurate tackle to block Denis Zakaria in extra time. Cole Palmer 8 A name expected to play well when substituted in the second half, Palmer made accurate decisions to find ways to pump the ball into the Swiss penalty area for his teammates.
