World Cup 2018: 3 weaknesses exposed during England's win over Tunisia

#3 Lack of a proper left back

Playing at left back, Young does not project a healthy confidence

Maybe because Southgate was confident that his 3-5-2 will never have to change, England's squad contained only one recognised left back - Danny Rose.

Fabian Delph might play that role too, but other than that the only option was the aging Ashley young, who is more of a winger or a wing back than a full back.

In this particular game, Southgate chose to go with Ashley Young who committed more fouls than he put in tackles.

Danny Rose despite not seeing a lot of playing time at Spurs could have been more useful to the team because of his danger from crosses, or even Fabian Delph for the solidity he offers as a defender.

Young is stuck with neither, as he was often on the end of balls that were not for him, or was not on the end of balls explicitly given for him. Thanks to Maguire, England resorted to do the long ball to Trippier, but otherwise it just ended up as a waste of time and passes.

This victory in no way means that England can sit back and relax. On the contrary, it leaves them with more to do and much to ponder. Belgium will show no mercy. The Belgians are faster than Tunisia in every facet of the game, and complacency will not go unpunished against them.

Qualifying in first place might be the difference between facing Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Portugal before the finals, or avoiding them all until then and taking the easier path to the finals.
