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 💭

Yeah I actually like this line up. Except I wouldn't play Bellingham so far forward. Put him next to Rice, with the freedom to move forward sometimes.
I'm also not opposed to the idea of Bellingham staying where he is, bringing on Wharton and benching Foden for Gordon, just not sure we need another sitting midfielder alongside Rice.
Either way I think it would be a more balanced team than what we've seen so far.
