England have a fullback problem.

England have a fullback problem. In this Lionesses tactical analysis, we break down England’s devastating 4-0 defeat to Spain in the 2027 World Cup Qualifiers and expose the structural issues facing Sarina Wiegman’s defense. While Spain’s midfield dominance and match sharpness played a role, England’s heaviest defeat under Wiegman highlighted a massive problem at full-back. From Lucy Bronze struggling against the tricky feet of Vicky Lopez to Alex Greenwood’s uncharacteristic positioning errors against Aitana Bonmatí and Alexia Putellas, we look at the physical demands and tactical shifts causing a disconnect in the England squad. How do the Lionesses solve this going forward? We discuss the potential emergence of Chloe Sarwie, the tactical versatility of Maya Le Tissier, and whether Niamh Charles holds the key for the 2027 Women’s World Cup. 00:00 - Intro 00:23 - What went wrong against Spain? 02:18 - England’s structural problem 03:52 - How do England solve this issue? 08:06 - The long-term solution 09:16 - Outro #lionesses #lucybronze #womensfootball ➡️ Instagram:   / thewomensfootballchat   ➡️ Twitter:   / subtotwfc   ➡️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewomensfoot... ➡️ Substack: https://thewomensfootballchat.substac...
