First qualification loss in over 10 years for England.
Tried something different it didn’t work the gap between the 2 midfielders and Mount was to big and we didn’t get our full backs forward at all.
We looked better when we went to 4-3-3 and I do think it suits Rice and Henderson more the 3rd slot on the left of the 3 that’s up for grabs. Barkley, Mount, Maddison are the 3 playing for the slot plus Alli if he can get back to form/fitness so we’ve got some good options for that role. I don’t think England have the right balance for a 2 man midfield it doesn’t suit Henderson who has always struggled in a 2.
Think Chilwell needs to be the first choice left back ahead of Rose who I think is starting to decline as a player. Not sure our CBs are strong enough to play Alexander-Arnold as a right back as he’s so attacking and Trippier seems to be back towards his best. Centre back is a problem Keane is ok but he’s not good enough
Some signs of promise in that front 3 but still some learning time to go
