It's the only game Germany have lost. And the only game they've played against

a team playing 4 at the back.

It's fairly hard to draw from this a firm conclusion that you have to play 5 at the back against them.

        Must admit, if we're going for 3-4-3 with Saka at wing back (Other Football) - jamesward, Jun 29, 10:54:47
        
        I'm not wedded to Mount but Southgate clearly likes/trusts him. (Other Football) - norwaay, Jun 29, 10:57:45
        
        So play him in the same system (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 29, 11:07:43

    - Haven't seen any pundit suggest we should go with a back four tonight. (Other Football) - norwaay, Jun 29, 10:47:13
      - There are lots suggesting that (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 29, 11:06:02
        
        I haven't seen any pundits picking a back four - but the team I'm suggesting (Other Football) - norwaay, Jun 29, 11:14:43
        
        It's the only game Germany have lost. And the only game they've played against (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 29, 11:17:49
        
        The Portugal game was an example of their threat. (Other Football) - norwaay, Jun 29, 11:28:11
        
        But I really hope it's more three than five! (n/m) (Other Football) - norwaay, Jun 29, 11:29:00
    - Agreed (n/m) (Other Football) - Charles21, Jun 29, 10:45:32
