ROY KEANE reckons England's Euro 2024 camp has much bigger problems than two poor displays.
The Manchester United legend claims "something is amiss" after worrying displays in a 1-0 win over Serbia and then a 1-1 draw with Denmark.
Keane singled out the body language of England's most-feared player, Jude Bellingham, as a potential sign of trouble following their Dane pain.
The ITV pundit also gave a brutal verdict on Southgate's "huge gamble" of playing Liverpool wing-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield.
Keane said: "There's something amiss. I'm talking about the balance. Bellingham is waving his arms.

"This is a big test for Gareth, a big challenge."
The former midfield hardman was impressed with Southgate's unusual decision to take off goalscorer Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden midway through the goalless second half.
But Keane added: "It looks like he's over-thinking things.
"He's made a few substitutions, which I admire - a bit of bravery there, making the three changes.
"But there's something amiss with this group."

Keane was even more blunt in his assessment of Alexander-Arnold, who twice now has been chosen ahead of workhorse Conor Gallagher and link-player Adam Wharton in the centre.
The ex-Sunderland and Ipswich chief, 52, said: "When you've been taken off in both games it's not a good sign.
"I thought it was always a huge gamble to play someone where he doesn't play week in week out for his club.
"A lot of people say he drifts in there for Liverpool. But drifting in and starting there are two completely different things.

"It's a tough position. He's come up short in the two games. It's not all down to him.
"It's a huge gamble to throw a full-back into the middle of the park."
Keane also believes that, as Alexander-Arnold struggled against Serbia and Denmark, he would be in deeper trouble against Europe's major nations.
He said: "This isn't again the French or the Spanish of the Germans. This was in two games we thought would be fairly comfortable.
"It's a big ask for him and he's not up to it."
