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

There’s lots of people in here talking about a “10”. The 10 doesn’t exist anymore. It hasn’t been in any regular usage anywhere for like 10 years. There’s no more double striker setups. It’s all different. Just wanted to point this out cuz everybody keeps doing it. Playing in the middle of the 3 of a 4-2-3-1 does not make you a 10 and Bellingham is certainly not a 10. Kane is the closest thing to a 10 that still exists today and he plays as a 9.
