All 3 want to play on the left they are getting in each others way it won't work.
Despite them winning the match, the thing I noticed about their front 3 and Bellingham is none of them are great passers of the ball. They didn't seem to be able to pick each other out too well very much in normal build up play.
Also Mbappe playing as a 9 naturally has him less involved in the game. Down the middle he never got much opportunity to pick the ball up and use his pace like he did when he plays off the left. I'm sure they'll probably look at interchanging positions on the pitch rather than a rigid front 3 but you can see how they might frustrate each other.
I won't be worried if we play these lot. We are a better team. We've shown it in the last 2 seasons, despite losing a shootout.
