Perhaps you're thinking of a 5-3-2 (Herdman has utilized), that allows the width that Davies flourishes at, on the wing. Larin & David up front, as you mentioned.
I actually wouldn't mind seeing a 5-3-2 against the Americans. It's such a rare formation, but I think it would work well to frustrate the Americans while also allowing Davies to flourish like you mentioned. Having only three in the middle should free up some space for him on the outside, which has been hard to come by as teams are focusing on him.
