They do enjoy a conservative manager at the FA, Southgate is hardly expansive either. They should be building a team around Grealish but he's wedded to that weird 3-4-3 shape that he makes incredibly rigid (completely defeating the point of it). They played a midfield 2 of Rice & Phillips against Denmark and it was one of the worst games of football I've ever watched
