Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew believes England coach Roy Hodgson must consider dropping Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
Rooney was played on the flank for defeat to Italy yesterday.
Pardew told the Independent on Sunday: "I'm afraid that position doesn't suit Wayne, who was then pushed out wide on the right for a spell in the second half. Now Roy Hodgson must make a decision: either play him in his proper number 10 role just behind Daniel Sturridge or leave him out.
"Uruguay's shock defeat by Costa Rica means they probably need to win both remaining games and makes Thursday's match a real tough one for England with the pressure they've now put on themselves. Even the Costa Rica game is not a gimme because they looked a half-decent outfit."
