In this video, Statman Dave analyses England’s electric 6-2 win over Iran in their 2022 World Cup opening game. Whilst Southgate set the Three Lions up in a 4-2-3-1, when they had the ball they would transition to a shape resembling a 4-1-4-1 which really helped England to break Iran’s tough 5-4-1 down. We also saw Southgate address the problem that Croatia created at the 2018 World Cup, pressing high and forcing Jordan Pickford to give the ball away. Check out the video to find out the ins and outs of Gareth Southgate’s new shape.
