You'd expect the formations from Sweden to Qatar games could differ.
Also Bazeley did try a back 4 with the U20s against USA. U20s seemed to go better for longer in that game than against Argentina where they deployed a back 3/5.
It wouldn't shock if Bazeley tried a back 4 against Sweden, with yes maybe Stamenic dropping into the backline, when the AWs don't have the ball. He was playing as a CB for FCK at season end. AWs had a back 3/5 in the first China game (a draw), and a back 4 in the 2nd match (a win). Bigger bodied Mata starting the first game & Greive the 2nd one.
The midfield is the AWs strength & without Wood and his excellent holdup play, they have basically lost that outlet to relieve pressure by just banging it forward.
