Carragher criticizes Tuchel's right-back choices ahead of Mexico clash
Summary

Jamie Carragher has expressed concern over England's right-back situation ahead of their last-16 World Cup match against Mexico. He criticized manager Thomas Tuchel's decision to call up Trevoh Chalobah and move Declan Rice to right-back, suggesting Ezri Konsa could be a better option. With injuries to Reece James and Jarell Quansah, England faces a selection dilemma after a less-than-stellar performance from Djed Spence in the previous match against DR Congo. Carragher emphasized the need for stability in midfield and continued questions over the team's defensive setup.
