In a surprising move, Gareth Southgate opted for a back three setup as England faced Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals.

This departure from the usual back four included Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Ezri Konsa, aiming to bolster defensive solidity and offensive fluidity.

Gary Neville, analyzing the shift, noted a marked improvement in England’s performance with the new formation.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Neville expressed his preference for the back three, citing improved team balance and fluidity in their play.

Despite earlier criticism for less-than-spectacular performances, Neville highlighted England’s knack for navigating tournaments effectively, reaching semi-finals consistently.

He acknowledged the challenges faced and emphasized the importance of resilience in tough matches.

With England advancing to face the Netherlands, Neville emphasized the need for heightened performance levels.

He posed the crucial question of whether England can sustain their current approach and capitalize on opportunities to progress further in the tournament.
