I think Southgate did okay to try the 343 and it worked quite well. The problem is his selection of players. Redmond and ward-prowse simply not good enough. Livermore did okay yesterday, but I don't think he is good enough for long terms. Though I think he is facing a crisis in the CM selection. Dier keeps playing CB for us, but Southgate has no other CDM better than Dier at this moment. I still think Winks deserves a chance, or maybe I am biased
I've been trying to think of some alternatives to Dier and I can't come up with any. Mason could be an option when fit I guess. I think we're struggling at centre back as well. We're OK for the first three, but the backup squad options are limited.
