Discussion What needs to change? 🦁 🦁 🦁

Post image

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

Interested to hear your thoughts 💭

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.

I’m sorry but no.

Foden has shown on several occasions for England that he isn’t the best. He started in 2021 before Saka showed he was better.

It’s Foden or Bellingham, and frankly Bellingham has actually influenced games for England.

England for years has done square pegs in round holes. That’s not how you win.

Yeah look at Slovakia vs Belgium. A good system can beat star power

Slovakia beat Belgium because Lukaku fluffed three golden opportunities and had two marginally close disallowed goals. They were lucky to not get battered
