Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says England need to drop Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling.

Carragher wrote for the Irish Independent: "England's system does not suit Sterling - or certainly not in the position he is currently occupying. It is designed to enable (Gareth) Southgate to select more attack-minded, technical players with the added protection of three centre-backs and a holding midfielder.

"Yet against Tunisia, even in the first half when England were at their best, Sterling was being pushed so far forward he was effectively alongside Harry Kane as a second striker. He can play the deeper role of a number ten well - four years ago he was outstanding in the position despite England's loss to Italy - but Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard are so far advanced they are taking up the space where Sterling would want to be.

"At the moment, England are effectively playing with three number 10s, even though none of them are what you would describe as the classic versions of this position. All rely on their movement and pace rather than ability to open up defences with a cute pass. It makes Sterling's inclusion slightly illogical."
