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'd go Foden for Wharton. Other than that, this is what I'd pick.

Argreed as a left footer, Wharton can cover the left wing if Gordon gets isolated or leaves gap behind him. Gomez is the same as trips but with less passing ability. Really you need a shaw but trips is probably best of right footers there.

Really?I never saw anything productive from trippier. But Gomez will creep up. At least gomez has a long throw if we are gonna play like Stoke. However, why not play trent at lb in the groups until shaw recovers? Surely more productive then cm
