Why go into a tournament with no recognised left back when you plan to play someone at left wing who drifts inside leaving you with no width at all? He’s had the answer sitting on the bench looking at him. Bellingham to beside Rice. Foden back to his best position behind Kane and Gordon or Eze for width on the left.

I've not watched that many games this tournament but fuck me any time I've seen England it's been excruciatingly boring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 5,068 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 England look overcoached like a lot of sides today. So slow, rigid and structured there is no movement and no individuality. So focussed on conforming to training ground patterns. Crying out for a Gascoigne type player to just show some flair and find a yard to two and create something.

Most of the big teams have been a bore to watch but England particularly bad which is quite an achievement from Southgate’s to take that much individual talent and fuck it up 3 games running.

Bellingham has played as a 10 this season and had the best season of his career, dropping him back would be a waste. Foden plays across the three for City and played most of his games this season as a RW. Either drop Saka and play Foden there, or drop Foden.

I feel like this is something that keeps getting said that I don't think is actually true. Bellingham has been playing mostly as a false 9 this season with 2 high wingers either side of him and him as the main focal point. That's quite different than playing as a 10 behind a proper striker who you're supposed to create for. I think he can do the role but if you want an actual 10 who's going to create then Foden is the better option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 5,068 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 3 minutes ago, JackAlex93 said: England are so slow and laboured You’d think it was a training game. Constantly checking back or choosing the safe sideways pass. If that is the English mentality knowing they are through why not do what Spain did and change 9 of your first 11. They look miles off a team that was one of the favourites going into the tournament. Waltersfarm and JackAlex93 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellingham could be just as effective running from deeper imo and could easily play midfield better than Gallagher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
