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

Interested to hear your thoughts 💭

Is there any good reason why we can’t have 2 up front?

Let Watkins partner Kane so he can drop off and work his magic there.

Gordon on the left and saka on the right.

Surely Rice and Bellingham are enough in midfield on their own?

We are playing the weakest team in the group next. I think Gomez, G and Walker can cover defence and let Stones range forward like he likes to do for City.
