The waistcoat doesn’t fancy TAA in defence. (I’d have played him instead of Trippier in this formation.)Maybe Southgate doesn't fully know either. Maybe he's gonna switch formation if it's just as shit as the first 4 games.
The personnel makes me think he's gone 4 at the back with the option to change to 3-5-2 by bringing Saka left and tripper right, that way he can do it without making subs.
If we were starting with the 3 at the back, I reckon he'd go with Arnold over Trippier on the right. The fact that Arnold isn't in makes me think we're at least starting with the same formation as the other games.
Might be wrong though.
Think it will be a 3 as he’ll try to protect Konsa as much as he can.
The fact it unlocks Phil centrally is probably a pure fluke and not part of his thinking.
