I agree with Mount being too far forward. As I said at the start, I like Southgate. However, I want to grab Marcelo Bielsa to choose the first eleven and manage the first twenty minutes of this match today. I believe that the weakness part of England's team in the defense but they are turning the attack into a bigger weakness to protect the defense. I know quality of opposition etc., etc., the reality is England has allowed 5 goals in thirteen matches since the start of 2020. Of all the games, this can be the game where England attacks from the start and see if the defense can hold its own without a double pivot and only one or two players being in the attacking third. If the defense can't hang, they are not winning the title anyways. They need to sort out the attack and stop playing so safe.
