During extra time I had the thought of "you know what, I wouldn't be surprised with a back 5 in the next round".. tbh, it might not be the worst idea in the world depending on who he selects of course.

I’d rather Toney for Palmer and drop Bellingham back into to the midfield. His ability as an outlet when the defence/keeper were pressed in extra time was superb

A back 5 might also give a best of both worlds. Walker doesn't have to attack and can use his pace instead to match their attack up & Konsa the same. Stones v Embolo would worry me slightly, in terms of a physical match up. It then does also mean a 3 v 3 which sounds a bit open/risky. However, we then get width from good players in, presumably, Arnold on one side and Saka on the left, but hardly ideal given he never plays there.
I don't think that front three looks quite right. Maybe with them both tucked in behind Kane as two number 10's? Even then, I'd drop Bellingham back one (although I do like Mainoo) and put either Foden as a 10 or even Watkins alongside Kane, with just one in behind (Palmer or Foden).

If it's a 3-5-2, perhaps Watkins with Kane, but yes, that would mean putting Bellingham alongside Rice. It's no use having wing backs who can hopefully deliver from wide if they only have Kane to aim for. There again, is Shaw a realistic option to come in?

Yeah 3-5-2 might force a bit more of players in more natural positions.
Not really a masterclass from Southgate but we might drop onto something a bit more balanced.
Saka and TAA as wingbacks plus 2 up front would mean Kane next to Watkins or toney
Foden would probably be the one to drop out

Prefer 3421 Palmer and Bellingham behind Kane Or Palmer and Foden with Bellingham deeper with Mainoo missing out
But whatever system or whichever players please play much faster, play forward take risks

It's always a worry when a tactical imbecile starts to experiment with shape.
Just carry on with the 4231, play players in their right positions and let the reigns off a bit. It isn't rocket science.

It’s almost as though international players and managers don’t practice these things as a matter of course in training

But we've been shit each game time to change Yes we have and it's time to change mentality and certain players within the shape we have been using - not necessarily the shape. Gordon and Palmer on both wings with Foden in as a 10 - with the shackles off a bit and we'd be a hell of a lot better than we have been IMO. I hope it works but this has the hallmarks of it going spectacularly wrong.

Getting more and more like Italia 90, poor group performance, last gasp in last 16 and a switch to a back 3. I know the switch in 1990 came during the group but interesting parallel.

Just hope it’s not Trippier at RWB and it’s TAA.

I think the players will look a lot more cohesive with the system switch. And let's be fair it's not like it can get any worse anyway. I'm glad it's happening

That formation and team FM has linked above looks horrible.
Bellingham shunted to the left 🤢🤢
Better off with 3 CM’s and Kane and Toney up front together.

You've basically got x2 10's and Saka, Trent providing the width. I really like that team and I'm not an advocate for 3 at the back but I can see it working.
