This is why GHod and Tel were so good in my opinion with Christmas tree formations and tactics, even Gary Neville was made to look like a competent wing back under them!It’s not that attacking if the full backs don’t bomb on. And under Southgate they don’t tend to.
I think it’s worth exploring; it takes away the problem of ‘the other midfielder’ which I think is going to be our biggest issue. He will continue to play Henderson/Phillips/Gallagher rather than try something different and I think it will cost us big time.
Its all about being tactically astute and flexible but unfortunately Southgate isn’t, I do wonder though if that’s because he was a CB so his mindset is naturally more defensive.
