Exactly, 100% this

Southgate has always wanted to play athletes and ballwinners in the middle and then his creators - preferably with pace - out wide.

And that's where we'll end up as of tonight, and we'll go out when we play a decent team, because they'll dominate the midfield and we won't be able to create enough with a midfield made up of ballwinners and athletes.

As happens at every tournament under Southgate. The only saving grace is that at least this will be the last time.
