I dont watch premiershite but have watched england on itv regular. I did watch one spurs/millwall cup game though
the season before last when pocchetinos lot won 6-0 using a 3421 with very attacking wing backs constantly on the ball.
Rose and trippier playing the roles that day for the lillywhites.
To me, southgates england look to be mirroring that system with similar emphasis on spurs ability that day, of passing and
playing it out from the back.
So my team on what ive seen, in a 3421 formation is.
Pickford in goal for his distribution. Not seen enough of him or the others to be entirely sure though.
Walker and rose as the attacking wingbacks. Trippier, young and trent-alexander as back up.
Cahill, stones and jones at centre back. Walker, maguire and dier as back up
Dier and henderson controlling in centre mid. Loftus-cheek, delph and trent-alexander as back up.
Sterling and ali as roving no 10 types. Lingard and rashford as back up.
Kane as the target man. Vardy and wellbeck as back up.
Gonna be a interesting one for me as still unsure about southgate at this level after witnessing some of his games in
charge of england u21s.
Tbf though he has done well with eng up to now, especially whilst blooding newer younger faces into the team and squad.
So fingers crossed and ever hopeful.
Whatever, looking forward to watching yet another WC. This will be my 14th. 1966 being my first.
Just a pity about the location this time though, and the next one come to think of it.
