someone need to show this video to Southgate

I agree with you, but I can't see Southgate not starting with Trippier

I think Adam Wharton is the key to solving Englands problems. More solid in defence and more capable in progressing the ball than Rice. I think in years to come we will wonder why he wasn’t used.

Knowing Southgate won’t do this, I’m just like that nervous laughter gif that says we are in trouble

RU-vidrs do a better job than Southgate - Southgate needs to go.

Here are 3 systems that offer potentially promising changes for England:- 1. 4-1-2-3: Here Foden and Bellingham play in the (8/10) half positions and Gordon comes in on the LW. Palmer probably fits this better than Saka on the right but that's not a big deal. This system sacrifices a defensive player so it would require England to play something like Spain and press. 2. 3-3-3-1: This is I fear where England made their biggest blunder in the first 2 games. Playing Trent allows for great flexibility and I expected England to line up with him in a RWB spot, at least with the ball, rather than permanently in central midfield. This system minimises the issue of Trippier's lack of a left foot without forcing him or Foden to sit out on the left. Plus of course, as a WB it would be possible to play a more attacking-minded player there such as Eze. If you want to see what is possible when Trent takes up this RWB spot, replay the last attack of the first half from the Denmark game. It was one of the better moves England have produced this tournament but inexplicably has not been employed since. 3. 4-2-3-1: What I want to highlight here is that the KO phase offers the ability to have designated starters and finishers, with the starters having the ability to play at 100% as they know they will come off after 55-60 minutes. My idea here is to start with Foden at 10 and Watkins at CF, probably in combination with Gordon and Palmer in the wide spots, then bring on Kane (for Watkins), Jude (for Foden) and Saka (for Palmer), all good penalty takers, automatically later on. The last 2 (+1) subs would then be available for covering injuries and tactical changes. If the coach is certain that 4-2-3-1 is the right way, and it does seem that Gareth is enamoured with this system, then I think this is the way to go, building a proper team for this shape rather than the current set of concessions that have not really worked.

According to sky sports the changes you mentioned is what Southgate will do. This formation does make a lot of sense 👍

Sounds perfectly balanced especially down that left side this formation on paper 👍

I like how the weaknesses of England's 4-2-3-1 were well analysed here. I would suggest two approaches for England. The first being your 3-4-3 which I can agree with. Though I would put Ivan Toney as the lone central striker. Kane will replace Foden as the one dropping into space or attacking the box. Bellingham will stay. Alternatively, if Southgate is adamant about the 4-2-3-1, then we need to shift personnel. Anthony Gordon comes in on the left of the attack to provide attacking width. Kane in the centre. Saka out wide right.. Foden plays just behind Kane as the 10. Rice and Bellingham as the 6 and 8.

Must drop trippier. Foden bellingham kane saka stones, Trent, etc. Bellingham and kane should play shoulder to shoulder and deeper. Not kane 20 m forward as theyll simply block him. They need to get in the box , time after time.

This was very clear and helpful. Thanks

Fantastic video again

Mate Southgate probably watched your video as your formation seems to be the one he's going for, we don't know for certain the players in those positions yet but it looks like it's a match for match for every player you chose as well!

Think 3-4-3 should be Plan B. Plan A should be a 3-5-2, with a Kane/Watkins partnership to start and bringing Toney as a sub. Brentford’s most common formation is a 3-5-2, so Toney should be an excellent target man suited for this system. You can then have Rice and Mainoo play more of a CDM with Bellingham (or Foden) as the ACM/CM option. England have a large abundance of wingback options with Saka, TAA, Gordon, Eze imo. The 3-5-2 is a good system where you have enough defenders/midfielders back that wouldn’t likely be caught out of position. Think the 3-4-3 will be a slight risk if there’s an unnecessary attacker not willing to drop back.

💯 agree. Plus it can’t be any worse than what we have seen so far.

Fantastic video. I have so much anxiety about Saturday. I just want us to play the football that these group of players can and deserve to.

Great analysis .

An argument for Trent at right back to fire some long balls to bypass the midfield? Eze or Gordon on the left to receive long diagonals or run beyond the high line.

Southgate u watchin m8

Love the setup and approach that England should take going forward. I'd personally start with Gordon. Saka seems tired and found out in his play from 60mins (he can't get passed someone after 60 mins). Gordon will have pace and energy in abundance with Saka being a great sub option. Then I would start Watkins or Toney instead of Kane. I think Kane will just be congested in that midfield and not offer anything in the build up. Watkins or Toney will stretch with their runs and offer passing opportunities for Foden or Bellingham. I'd bring Kane on later on in the game for Foden.

If you play 3 at the back then surely Watkins has to start next to Kane. If you play Foden and Bellingham both as 10s they will just stand on top of each other. We know Kane will drop deep because he can’t help himself so at least we still have someone running in behind. This will also play to Trent’s strengths at RB as he will have someone making runs and use his passing.

The teams that are enjoying most success are those who are playing with actual width and players who are able to take on their man and thus disrupt man for man marking systems. Can’t help but feel Grealish would have been great at this but in his absence we have Saka, Palmer and Gordon. If they are utilised correctly, their direct threat will create space for the likes of Foden, Bellingham and Kane

A good case for the change of shape. I think you should put Foden and Bellingham on the opposite sides though.

23/24 Aerial%: Konsa - 68.2%; Gomez - 75.6% Can't find proper stats, but Gomez has better pace on FIFA, FM and eF 23/24 Goals Conceded per90: Konsa - 1.58; Gomez - 0.96

Just kicking a long ball in Kane's direction would be more effective than what we have watched over the last 4 games.

Also a strong case to start Palmer over Foden and anyone else over Kane.

As a plan B what do you think of 3-5-2 with toney coming on for foden?

Brothers ahead of Southgate 😂😂 Southgate defo watching these tutorials thinking might as well copy because he hasn’t got a clue 😂😂

All the could do this and that could be applied to the 4231 formation as well. The formation is negligible if they arent braver with the ball, quicker with the tempo and willing to stretch the opposition

I tend to agree, but would go with a... 3-2-3-1-1. Slightly different to the 3-4-3. The difference it allows an overload through the midfield with true wingers on both sides. Then the spine of Bell, Foden and Kane can push through rotate and have runners at speed, with Kane with the through ball.

This has nothing to do with KT on the left, he’s played there numerous times in his career! The fact is the test are not moving the ball quickly enough It’s really that simple, no movement, too slow, too many playing it safe The team would be the same with Shaw!

I am very impressed with this formation hopefully 🙏 England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 win

Saw the thumbnail and it ain't going to work. Putting Trent anywhere in the pitch is a gamble in this Southgate system. No matter how England lineup it'll be the same slow football. The only thing happening would be Trent getting exposed

Why are they treating Anthony Gordon like a leper, he may as well stayed at home, our best option by far on the left wing.....

None of the England players play 3 at the back for clubs, so a huge risk. England still have xG-wise the best defence in the tournament, so changing system risks throwing that away. Foden didn't deliver at CAM in the qualifiers and hasn't delivered at LW. England's best performances pre-tournament were with Rashford LW. Gordon is the most similar player to Rashford, so has to be given a shot. I also think Palmer deserves a shot in his best position (CAM), and bring Bellingham deeper where he can use the fact he has the best long pass% of any England player. Saka looks tired, so argument to give Bowen a start as well.

Can we not play Wharton on the left instead of SAKA? He can tuck in like Arnold can and really squeeze th midfield and allows mainoo and rice to press higher. Similar to how swss lwb does😊

Switzerland are no world beaters - Scotland nearly beat them! It’s in Englands hands.

I agree you need 4 in midfield, but I would go for 4-4-2. Two strikers.

Unfortunately, Southgate's mantra is... If it's broke, don't fix it. Ergo. Another round of pure torture for us all. 😮

The news is that we are going with a back 3 so maybe Southgate watched this 😆

Is Trippier not a realistic option as RWB as well?

I hope Switzerland do press that high if england had trent rwb and saka lwb, foden as 10 and Bellingham as a 8/10 and tony and kane up front 😂😂😂😂

I like the content creators Team suggestion, but there’s no way Southgate is going to have three at the back. He’s too conservative. He’s going to have four at the back and we’re done.

Someone send this to Southgate and his team!!

I think England fans don't like the extreme safe approach because there is no honour in playing that way. Our society has forgotten to respect honour but deep down we want it. We don't want to win at any cost It's the same as a girl going on OF and making a fortune. Yeah she would become rich but at what cost?

Why is Bellingham on the right of KANE and FODEN on the left.. Surely should be the other way round

3-4-2-1 would be a better formation for England.

I would play Palmer on the right

I think you'll find Southgate knows all about playing this way and and is probably going to do it. It seems every man and his pet poodle thinks they are a manager now lol

Are England going to turn up for this match…. they have been absent for the previous ones due to Southgate

Trouble is we’ve got a lot of players who are supposed to be best in class with you can’t tell me anything attitudes. They are not a single unit, full of little gangs with no teamwork, they all can see that Southflake is not up to the job and so take no notice of him even when his ideas have merit. I honestly can’t see us ironing all this shite out so we’re probably going to do similar to the previous games and will be on our way home after Saturday.

I’ve put £100 on Switzerland winning. England couldn’t even beat Italy at Wembley Switzerland beat Italy the other day 2-0! England have no chance with Southgate ; zero!

Everybody wants england to outscore the other team, in a good open game with England playing attacking football we can beat anybody, southgate would rather win 1-0 than 4-2, just the way it is

Gordon is far better than Saka on the left and has even more energy .... and Palmer on the right rather than Trent.

Bellingham is not a 10 so play: ................... Kane Foden. Palmer Gordon Bellinham Rice. Saka Walker. Stones Trippier

Not too long now until the charts and slide rules are packed away.have been used since world cup 82.still the trophy cabinet bare since 1966.and will continue to be empty for many,many,many, year's to come.alas having been hearing the same nonsense since primary school days.

Different player's, different century,same drivel.

Playing 3-4-3 which we haven't done before, against a side that have perfected this system??

How about somebody actually running with the ball? They used to call it dribbling!

Stop saying RU-vidrs have good tactics they would be an actual coach if they were that good

So your brand tactical plan still has three 10s up front !! Plus you are hoping Southgate has a knowledge of tactics. And Shaw is 100%fit. 🦄💩

England are going out

3 4 2 1

Blah blah blah blah and if, but, should, shouldn't, and even more blah blah blah..who cares its just more fantasy football...but we have a Supreme manager...Southgate the genius...

I'm not having Switzerland are 'the real deal'. Making them out to be a prime Italy or something. I saw them against Scotland, they were bang average and easily beatable if Scotland had a proper striker. England can't play any worse and they're still winning. England will match them in formation this time round. Switzerland like to press which will create loads of space for England up top.

An argument for Trent at right back to fire some long balls to bypass the midfield? Eze or Gordon on the left to receive long diagonals or run beyond the high line.
