What games have you been watching in the World Cup? England played 3-5-2 with Walker Stones and Maguire as the 3 with Trippier and Young as wingbacks in the 5 . Man City did the same v Huddersfield on Saturday and I am sure CH will consider it at some point with Balogun, Duffy and Dunk as the 3 and either Montoya/Bruno and Bernardo/Bong being the wing backs.
That's correct 3 central defenders plus 2 fullbacks making it a total of 5 in defence. We played a diamond in midfield allowing our fullbacks to advance but requiring them to track back and defend in a 5-4-1. We play with a back 4 and no matter how much tinkering CH may do he won't play without 2 wingers even if it does allow him an extra centre back
