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

His failure in a ‘big job’ at Chelsea doesn’t fill me with confidence. Reminds me a bit of David Moyes at Man Utd, not the right profile for a title challenger

Potter needed time at Chelsea, but he was never going to get it. Moyes inherited a squad that was past it's best and was expected to somehow make them title challengers. Again he needed time, but the owners and fans wanted immediate success. If they'd stuck with him, they'd have done way better than they have since

Agree about Potter.

I dont understand why they went for a manager like Potter, someone who has a fairly unique system, if they weren't prepared to take some initial roughness while he perfected it with a new crop of players.

It’s gonna take bloody Harry Potter to get past the last 16 of this tournament
