that's it though, we worry too much about the opposition
Maybe we do, but we are weak in defence. That together with playing 3 attacking midfielders in the same team is a bad combination.
As good as our players are, I just don't think its realistic to see 3 of the likes of Foden, Grealish, Mount, Sterling, Sancho, Rashford all playing.
Have 3 of those playing in attacking midfield and Rice and Phillips in defensive midfield and you have a gap the size of a mile between our lines.
Players like Bellingham and Henderson are a bit more balanced.

Agree with this.
Hope to see Bellingham and Rice start in the middle. Bellingham might be young but he plays like he’s been at it for a decade. Then for me, it’s Rashford (for the pace and runs in the channel) on the left, Mount as an 8/10 and Foden on the right. This also allows Foden and Rashford to switch and get on their ‘correct’ side. Grealish very unfortunate to miss out but an excellent sub to bring on and has a very big role to play.

I'd rather lose 4-3 than the inevitable 1-0 defeat !!
