The point is that it's not the formation - it's possible to make it work.
The problem might be more not putting the right players in those positions, like Palmer in CM is a dud.

Gordon, over the past 2 seasons, has been a wide level above Rashford.
Never as many as six friendlies in space of three months.
They rejigged the calendar as previously you'd always start the next qualification phase straight after major tournament so by now there should be World cup qualifiers but they've been pushed back to March 2025 to play the six nations league games.
Am I imagining things or wasn't there just groups of three when the nations league started?
Hasn’t worked in any game those two have played together, this is just shoehorning them into the same team. Every man and his dog knows Watkins should be starting over Foden with Kane out.
San Marino currently 0-0 away to Gibraltar at half time.
They are top of nations group D as it stands. Do they actually get a chance in the play offs if they win or are there restrictions in place e.g sporting merit as that would be a walking bye into the finals for whoever drew them.

He’s taken the advice of the expert English football pundits, forgoe everything to fit Foden Palmer and Bellingham in the team
Perhaps, but Rashford has a much higher top level, and has been in decent form of late.
Why isn't Mainoo even on the bench? He played well in the Euros!
He withdrew from the squad.
Are you advocating we play players based on their maximum peak ability rather than how they've been performing for....the past 2 years?
Guess we bring back Raheem Sterling
Oh no.. I hope it's nothing serious!
Greece take the lead.
fecking awful defending.
Definitely.
Lads?!
*Southgate was the problem" they said....
Carsley is the Irish Big Ange
Saka going off injured. Madueke on.
Ball gone off injured
Sure they'll still find a way to justify giving Carsley the job fulltime.
Palmer has been playing too deep and it doesn't really suit him.
He was.. we need a progressive manager. Carlsley isn’t the answer either
Get Gomes on
What is the Irish equivalent of "mate"?
Foden really shouldn't be starting England games. Just floating around 25 yards out doing very little.
Is Bellingham playing at the back? Seems like he is clearing and blocking more than he should be
Would like to see Angel Gomes on for one of the attackers.
There were but Germany got relegated so they added a team.
Feck me we are shite
Carsley's born and raised in Birmingham so it doesn't really matter what we say over here.
Man. United could've done worse than sign Pavlidis. Did well for Alkmaar last few seasons and Benfica signed him for 15m so a few goals in CL and he'll go for at least double that next summer.
Have to get that on target
Now Watkins misses a chance.
Carsley as much use as a chocolate teapot
Watkins shite composure
Why cant England managers see how awful Jordan Pickford is?
Time wasting in a nations league game 
He's no Jhon Duran...
Trying to shoehorn every creative player is never going to work. England have 4 players wanting to all do the same thing out here.
