Thomas Tuchel faces crucial decisions as England prepares to face DR Congo in the next stage of the World Cup.
The squad's attacking setup has drawn scrutiny, particularly with the presence of an additional midfielder, which has limited Harry Kane's impact in the penalty area.
Declan Rice's absence against Panama sparked concerns over his fitness, but the former West Ham star is expected to return against DR Congo.
Carragher suggests that Rice should operate in a deeper role, allowing England to utilize Kane's playmaking abilities and goal-scoring prowess.
Kane's limited touches in the penalty area and outside of it against Panama have raised concerns about his impact on the team.
Carragher notes that Kane had just 10 touches outside of the penalty area against Panama and only 20 touches in total against Ghana.
This, Carragher believes, demands a rethink in England's strategy before facing stronger opposition.
The presence of two advanced midfielders, including Morgan Rogers, has limited Kane's space to operate, and Carragher suggests a possible solution is to ask Declan Rice to play deeper.
This would allow Kane and Bellingham to link up more effectively and provide a different dynamic in the team's possession.
Rice's deeper role would also require Tuchel to alter his initial plan of having a front five in possession, with wide triangles of a winger, full-back, and advanced midfielder.
When Kane drops deep, there is more responsibility for the wingers to threaten more, and Carragher believes that others must step up to take some of the pressure off Kane and Bellingham.
The team's wingers have been underwhelming so far, and Carragher suggests that they are not doing enough to create scoring opportunities.
England will need to address these issues if they hope to progress in the tournament and avoid an early exit.
