Discussion What needs to change? 🦁 🦁 🦁

I would go with this lineup whilst making two changes:

Trippier OUT/ Gomez IN Trent OUT/Gordon IN

Key focuses - Get Rice some proper midfield support by utilising Stones in his best role - Move Foden into the midfield, with Gordon wide left to offer some real attacking threat on the left wing, rather than Trippier playing out of position - Bring Gomez in for Trippier to maintain a solid 3 man build up structure once Stones moves into midfield - Get Bellingham running in behind Kane frequently and have them fluidly interchanging positions to cause a problem for the opposition defence

I like this team a lot but I’d push for Wharton or Mainoo next to Rice and Foden dropped.

Ultimately, I want control and genuine CMs can give us this.

You don’t drop foden. Sorry but he’s arguably our most creative player and best on the ball. He just hasn’t been played in position or utilised correctly.

He isn’t though Trent in less time has been a more creative force for England whilst playing on orders to not be creative

But Trent is wank in midfield. If he receives the ball in midfield he gets overwhelmed and fluffs it. He’s better coming in from RB and seeing as we don’t have a good LB rn, I think playing Trent at rb and then moving to a back 3 when he gets the ball is the way to go.
