Belatedly, trying something different. Instead of two workhorses, going down the Italy route of one them being a deep lying playmaker. Seems very unstrategic, kid in a sweetshop.
We tried it in friendlies and it didn't really work.
Trent hooked again. I don’t care if he played midfield as an under 9, he can’t do it at this level.
Did Klopp play him there when they had no CM? I don't think he did, which says it all

You can see it. The players will find a way to win this because they are some of the absolute best. But it’s going to be in spite of this system.

Can you imagine how good this team would be with a motivated De Zerbi in charge?
Half of them would be on the treatment table from previous games. ;)

These top players who spend every minute of every game, week in week out, sprinting at everything and everybody, closing down like Ben Johnson on amphetamines find it hard to try to stop and try to play 70/80's International style walking football ? Who'd have thunk it :facepalm:

Take £100M Declan Rice and get him receiving 5M passes from our centre backs then leaving said CB's with absolutely F all to do with a football at their feet :shrug:

It's all a bit Mike Bassett
Bertie Bassett would do a better job than Southgate.

At least with allsorts, you get the excitement of unpredictability and variety.

Only one team winning this at the moment and it ain’t us.
