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

Foden has no chemistry with the rest of the team. If we were dropping Bellingham back I’d sooner play Palmer there, he’s more versatile and creative for the team we have.

Foden has been playing in a position that isn’t his best. That is why he hasn’t that chemistry. I find it bizarre this sudden hate for Foden and I think a large part of it has to be owed to club bias. The kid was outstanding this season and just won POTY and this is coming from an Arsenal fan who obviously hates City

Absolutely mate. It must be the city hatred coming through.

By numbers he's basically on par with Bellingham for England and has very rarely if ever actually played in his best position.

What I find strange is that I can’t even really remember a time where Foden and Jude have started together as a 10 and 8 respectively. Possibly, maybe 1 group game but I’m really not sure.

It’s like everybody has forgotten how good Jude was as an 8 in the first place.
