Why it's time for Saka and Rashford - Shearer

History shows us why there is no need to panic about England's draw with Ghana on Tuesday, but also underlines why it is important we immediately bounce back.

Since 2006, every World Cup winner has dropped points in their first or second group game - but what they have also done each time is go on to win their group.

I am confident England will do that too, by beating Panama on Saturday, but I would not be surprised if Thomas Tuchel makes three or even four changes to his team after such a disappointing result and performance.

Probably the biggest call for Tuchel is what he does with his wingers.

I didn't think Anthony Gordon or Noni Madueke were positive enough against Ghana. By that I mean they didn't attack their defender enough when we got the ball out to them out wide.

Their crossing was really poor as well, and often it didn't beat the first man. Our delivery from set-pieces was not great either, but in open play the service from the wingers was pretty much non-existent.

That's why I think Tuchel will change it up, and Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford have definitely done enough when they have come on in both games to get a chance to start.

Saka's fitness is surely the only reason he hasn't started either game so far, but if he's ready this time then he would come in on the right, with Rashford on the left.

What I want to see from both of them is more energy and to be more direct in one against one situations by trying to go past players.

There also needs to be more forward passing rather than taking the easy option by going sideways or backwards.

Another change I can see happening is at left-back, with Nico O'Reilly coming back in for Djed Spence.

We just seemed to lose a bit of creativity and quality going forward down the left-hand side without O'Reilly and we posed more of a threat in a 15-minute spell after he came on than we did in the rest of the game.

O'Reilly got in some great positions, offered more on the ball and was also very unlucky when his header hit the bar.

I could also understand if Tuchel brought John Stones back in for Ezri Konsa. Although our main issue against Ghana was being unable to break them down, there were still some concerns defensively.

In the two real attacks that Ghana had when they managed to get forward, one could have seen them win a penalty and the other one could have ended with Jordan Pickford getting a red card.

We got away with it both times, but Tuchel has changed things in his defence and there is no doubt that there is some uncertainty back there.

I don't know if that has affected Pickford too, but he has not looked assured so far as he normally does.

In the first game, his distribution was pretty poor and then he got caught out against Ghana when he came rushing out, so maybe those changes did not help his situation either.

Panama are out of the World Cup already after losing both their games - the head-to-head rule to decide group positions means they already know they will finish bottom.

They are only playing for pride now, but I don't think that will change their identity as a team which usually defends deep.

That means England are likely to face the same task they did against Ghana - seeing most of the ball and trying to find a way through a packed defence.

If we are going to going to be successful this time, we might have to change our mindset, as well as some of the personnel, and show more urgency by moving the ball quicker and taking more risks.

What I wouldn't change, though, is our midfield - if Declan Rice is fit then he should continue to develop his partnership with Elliot Anderson - or take Harry Kane out of the team.

If we had beaten Ghana and we were already guaranteed to top the group, then I think there would have been wholesale changes but, the position we are in now, we have to win this game. I would 100% keep Kane in there to help us do that.

Like I said at the start, the draw with Ghana was disappointing but it was certainly not a disaster.

The World Cup is now past the halfway stage in terms of the games played, and I've really enjoyed it so far.

When I think about the teams that have impressed me, then the USA are up there along with France, Argentina and Spain - and England are part of that excitement too.

Of course we have had a hiccup but we are not alone there - Spain had one too in their draw with Cape Verde and France were poor in the first half of their opener against Senegal.

Yes, there is room for improvement and also bigger tests to come in the knockout stage, but right now we are still top of our group and still on track to win it.
