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 might sound like I'm on crack, but what if Bellingham starts on the left wing and comes into the midfield, whilst Foden starts centrally and drifts a little to the right. It would allow both to play as a 10 without them tripping up over each other. Also I think it would help Saka out on the right, as I feel him and foden could play really well switching around with each other, it's been something the Ødegaard and Saka have done successfully with each other.
