England's decision to deploy Declan Rice at right-back has sparked concerns about the team's defensive solidity, according to pundits.
Rice's versatility and ability to play in multiple positions have been a major factor in his selection for the national team, but his role in defense has raised eyebrows.
Some critics argue that Rice's defensive skills may not be suited to the demands of the right-back position, and that this could leave England vulnerable to counter-attacks.
However, others believe that Rice's adaptability and work rate make him an asset to the team, and that he can learn to thrive in the new role.
