The whole formation and attitude is just wrong. Ox is shot, he needs a good run of games at Liverpool as Arsenal have ruined him. We need to get the basics right, too many players trying to do too much. Just make the simple pass make the sensible run and give it 100% effort and stop making basic mistakes. Finally pick a proper team. Balance is more important than fitting in the best players, you can't have 2 attacking full backs a midfielder as attacking as Ali, Rashford as a wide forward and Ox just stinking the place up.

Putting to one side the terrible football we're playing and general negativity surrounding the team, a draw is actually a decent enough result. Keeps us top with a couple of winnable games left.

The other thing is that "balance" doesn't then get achieved by sticking two defensive midfielders in the centre of the pitch.

 

As it is we have nobody linking defence and attack. The team is crying out for a Carrick of 5-10 years ago.

Nothing clinical about these players at all, they have that many chances against these poorer sides there end product isn't a good as its made out.

 

You put Vardy in there you know he has it about him to finish it

I'm presuming that we will qualify for Russia, but I can only also presume that we will be tepid and lacklustre throughout that tournament only for the FA to appoint another yes man once GS has resigned.

Exactly, you can't balance out being massively exposed on the flanks with 2 players sitting in front of the defence.

Southgate will then get a job at a mid ranking Premier side* and lead them to relegation.

 

 

 

 

 

*Hopefully not us.
