Starts with no striker and Bellingham as false 9. Watkins and Solanke would’ve been happy
For the most part Bellingham as a false 9 worked well. He was dropping into the midfield to link the play like Kane often does. Palmer and Gordon missed good chances while England had that formation. It was more strange to have both Watkins and Solanke on the field for the final 25 minutes.
There was some very sloppy defending and not just for the goals. Carsley will have to work out whether his system was to blame, the players not understanding his system, his selections, or if it was down to individual errors.
