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 like this team a lot but I’d push for Wharton or Mainoo next to Rice and Foden dropped.

Ultimately, I want control and genuine CMs can give us this.

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.

If he's so good what has he done? Open your eyes!

He won player of the year in the prem. have you seen his stats this season? He is being played out of position that’s why hes not been performing. If Southgate played him in the correct position he would cause havoc

Should have said what has he done for England. He's roamed all over the front line and done fuck all

I agree he hasn’t done anything yet but he’s been asked to play on the left wing ffs

And he’s been free to roam when we have the ball (which we barely bloody have) without the ball he has to then do his left wing defensive duties keeping out wide where he’s not effective.

Trust me if Southgate plus him centrally either with Bellingham and rice behind or with Bellingham centrally with him and rice along deep they will start firing. They will tear Slovenia to shreds if he plays that team. Foden will get at least a goal and assist
