4 defenders, one attacker, this is what happens when you've only been used to playing average to poor teams most of the tournament.

This single pivot system doesn’t work very well. Dier and Henderson get overrun when defending and pressed off the ball when starting attacks.

Double pivot with one of Lingard/Ali behind the strikers please

No it would have been a disaster?

Was that sarcasm? my point was despite reaching the semi final we're not really any better than we were 4-8 years ago. If we'd had tougher fixtures we'd have probably gone out during the last 16 as usual (which we nearly did anyway against Colombia).
