England Women: How Lionesses' Euro 2025 performance is comparable to 2022

Replacements were an essential aspect of England's journey to win for Euro 2022, with Ella Toone and Alessia Russo often a trustworthy duo from the bank.

Wiegman decided to make more changes this year with 15 substitutions compared to 13 in the opening round 2022.

She also decided to change her line -up, something that she did not do last time, but that paid dividends in Switzerland.

The introduction of toone instead of Beth Mead helped considerably with her improvements in her last two games and made it possible to pull James into the wing.

Although she found no way to save something against France, the changes in the other two games worked well.

Mead and Aggie Beever-Jones scored both after they had emerged from the bench in the 6-1 win against Wales.

Chloe Kelly, who also came from the bank in every group phase game in 2022, was brought in as a replacement for Niamh Charles in every game at Euro 2025.

As the case in 2022, Wiegman's first replacement replacement always addressed the attack line, with Kelly or Mead being one of the first players.

The changes usually come a little later than in 2022, but many are classified around 60 minutes – something that made a big difference in the last euros.
