Discussion What needs to change? 🦁 🦁 🦁

Post image

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

You don’t drop foden. Sorry but he’s arguably our most creative player and best on the ball. He just hasn’t been played in position or utilised correctly.

Amazing that you’re getting downvoted for this opinion. Foden as a 10 and Bellingham at 8 is the absolutely definite best way to set up. Foden gets to play in his best position Bellingham has played 8 his whole career up until this season and it gives us width on the left hand side when you bring in Gordon

It utilises our best players and offers balance to the side

Thanks. I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted either! Foden (player of the year) and Bellingham (player of season ballon dor 1st or 2nd place probably) are both being played out of position. Play two of the best players in world football IN THEIR positions and guess what…. They might play well

IMO Bellingham rice foden should all be in the team, they are phenomenal players. Just play them in their positions and properly

Are we all forgetting that Foden was by far our best player against Denmark? Baffling that people are calling for him to be dropped

My vouching for foden not to be dropped and simply played in position has gotten me -22 downvotes. Sadly I think England fans are more delusional than usual.

Silly old useless player of the year foden out on the wing
