A back 3 and a wholly defensive midfield against Germany's reserves
I'd love for England to fully adapt to playing defensive shiteball if it helped the team win but this feels like Southgate going 3 at the back because it's what all the cool managers have been doing.
If you're playing three at the back the middle CB really needs to be someone that can pass the ball out and slot in midfield, not strawberry floating Chris Smalling
Why is Dele Alli playing on the left of the front three?

John Stones' one purpose in life is to be referred to by the press as the sole passing CB in england and now he's been denied this

On paper it's certainly one of the worst I've seen in my lifetime. Crazy how poor the choice of CBs is now compared to 5-10 years ago when England legitimately had some of the best defenders in the world.
