5 problems England manager Gareth Southgate must solve

What system is best for England?

The failings of the previous England managers is that they never seem to know their best side, their best style or their best formation and the players have unquestionably been hindered by this.

Roy Hodgson and Fabio Capello were particularly guilty of this having changed the team that performed so well in qualification, with the team that they selected for the major tournaments.

The former Middlesbrough manager is likely to be bolder with his playing decisions however as he is usually committed to 4-3-3 and likes to oversee a high pressing game.

A functioning system that the manager and players believe in could be enough to get the team performing at their highest levels once again.
