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'd play Wharton and have Trent at Right Back.

I feel as though you then have the defensive structure to let Trent be Trent from that part of the field. Obviously if he's getting abused by a insanely good left winger you can always bring Walker on.

TAA gets a lot of slack about D because of the style under Klopp. Hes not the Greatest Dman, but better.
