GunmaN1905 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 The thing with three man defense formation, if you want it to be attacking and dangerous in modern day, is that at least one wide CB needs to push really high up and serve as a full-back from 4 man defense. But we've yet to see Walker or Konsa do that. Saka gets the ball wide and the only way to make something happen is for him to win that 1v2 situation by himself. Sometimes I wonder about the coaching school Southgate attended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
