Rashford can play as a winger and he scored 2 goals from there yesterday, so it could certainly be argued that he’s effective there....
Let’s be honest here, irrespective of what any of us think re formations, we’ve played a 4-3-3 for quite some time and especially under Southgate. Unless he completely changes his modus operandi in the friendlies coming up, then he’ll do the same in the summer it’s safe to assume. Thank God that’s the case as well as it allows us to play to our strengths.
Picking a system then shoehorning players into it was our undoing under previous managers. Imagine being paid millions per annum and thinking it was a good idea to play Paul Scholes or Emile Heskey on the left wing!!
4-3-3, plenty of pace, one defensive midfielder (Dier) and Alli after the season he’s had wouldn’t be an automatic pick. Certainly not over someone like Sterling who’s had his best ever season.
Not trying to be funny, but how anyone can ignore stats of players playing blindingly is madness, just because they think someone else is better!
