Formation against the top nations

Morning All,

Hope you feel uplifted after last night's result. Just wanted to gage thoughts on what team/formation we should play against the top nations i.e Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain.
I'd go 4-5-1 Townsend, Gerrard, wilshere, Carrick, Walcott and rooney up top. Walcott because of his pace and support Rooney at the right times.

Against the likes of Italy, Belgium id play a mix between 4-4-2 & 4-3-3 (when we have the ball)

Im no tactical coach so what's your thoughts. Just thinking ahead.

Walcott as a Right winger. No.

His best position and probably the only position he can play to a good standard is a right forward in a 4-3-3 but as a right winger in a 4-5-1 or a 4-4-2 you wont get much out of him

oh i just bunged the together---walcott would be on the left. Townsend on the right...walcott could be replaced with Ox.

Bye Bye Theo Walcott.

Back up squad player at best now.

Think Walcott pace and runs could be effective against the top nations. Man for man we couldn't outplay Germany and Spain that's for sure so we would need another weapon. For me walcott comes into the mix.
