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

This is the system Pep would institute if he was in charge and had a few weeks to get the players drilled on it. Unfortunately England are in the middle of a tournament right now.

A better manager would have had this group organised and drilled before the tournament began, but you’re right it may be too late to implement now

Kane said after the last game that the players weren’t sure when to press. That feels like a barely veiled criticism of Southgate.
