The problem is we clearly dont have any midfielders disciplined or intelligent enough to play the double pivot in a 4231, enabling us to play with a No 10. Playing a proper 3 in there in theory would give us more control and let the front 3 attack with more freedom.
I think we do, they're just overlooked as they don't play for big teams. I think this tournament has shown that individual player quality is less important than getting the right players fulfilling the right roles. As I said in response to BC earlier, I'd look at Jack Cork of Southampton to fulfil the defensive mid role in the 2 as he's the best player we have there.
