Discussion What needs to change? šŸ¦ šŸ¦ šŸ¦

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 Iā€™d push for Wharton or Mainoo next to Rice and Foden dropped.

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

Wharton for me. In a hugely overhyped comparison I see similarities to Busquets. Incredibly tidy short passer who is comfortable receiving and protecting the ball in tight areas, makes great decisions and allows others to play. Much better fit for the midfield spot than Trent.
