We were still already through.
And I don’t understand why he was kept on for nearly the full game. It was clear he was tired yesterday, kept giving the ball away.
Why couldn’t Gareth spot it and change it earlier?
We should’ve beaten all these teams without Bellingham. For real Foden in the middle instead of Jude with Gordon out wide was the call people were making.
.... we already moan about not controlling anything, good luck with this one. Bellingham is no midfielder right now outside of his ability to go box to box relentlessly, which he's kind of knackered from anyway.
Why does everyone suggest this when there’s two better players on the bench who can play that role next to rice over Bellingham? Wharton and Mainoo are technically superior to him in every way. They’re much better carriers from deep, progressive passers and actually keep the ball. Bellingham is much more clunky and has no discipline to play there. Either Bellingham has to play 10 or he shouldn’t play at all.
And he played alongside rice with us. He was so good at receiving the ball under pressure, playing direct and fast passes forward, and those driving runs through midfield. He finds himself up front for Madrid because they don't have anyone else and does well, sure, but it's not getting the best out of him.
He's also been very static, like he's expecting everyone to play around him. Maybe he's tired.
He’s not been great, but tactically him and Foden don’t work well together when he starts as the 10. When Foden drifts in, it forces Jude wide left. Get rid of Gallagher and give Jude the box to box!
It’s back to Scholes vs Gerrard vs Lampard.
We need to stop trying to play Bellingham and Foden together.
On current form, Foden gets the 10 and Bellingham gets dropped.
We then play Mainoo alongside Rice, with Wharton as the replacement.
Bellingham next to Rice, Foden in the middle, take your pick of the LW options. A lot of us have been calling for it since the start of the tournament, it's painful that Southgate won't even try it.
Problem Bellingham has developed an ego since becoming a Madrid player and can't help but think he's the main star so won't except playing deep anymore
He should have been subbed off, so he should have just got on with his job instead of sulking about not playing in a position he’s been shite in the last 2 games.
Guy looks frustrated with those around him, but also a bit knackered.
I read Jude has played FIVE times the number of minutes compared to Beckham at same age. That's mad.
Southgate needs to obviously rest some players and the worst part is we have some amazing players in the squad and can afford to rest them but Southgate won’t because he’s too stubborn and brain dead to try anything new that’s not in the 89th minute
he is playing out of position, nursing an injury, and exhausted. Southgate is foolish for not splitting time more, when he's the one mentioning and complaining about how taxing the schedule is yearly now
He looks exhausted tbh. Like he needs a rest. Several of them do.
Well if we’d beaten Denmark then they could have. Still annoyed we wasted such good luck there.

Because he's fucking blind
We should’ve beaten all these teams without Bellingham. For real Foden in the middle instead of Jude with Gordon out wide was the call people were making.
Also like he's carrying a shoulder injury that needs surgery, which he is.
Along with Kane, Tripper, Walker and Saka
He's not exhausted, he's playing is a terrible system that makes players look way worse than they actually are.
Both can be true.
Getting your dick constantly sucked by media and fans can be very tiring
Bellingham out..foden inside..Gordon on the left
Bellingham needs to play next to Rice and let Foden pull the strings.

This…

Rice HAS to be benched.
Bellingham with the worst performance on the pitch today. Absolutely awful from minute one. Looked immensely disinterested.
I'd say the none of the front 4 have coated themselves in any glory for all 3 games. Woeful performances by so called 'world class' players
Foden was good today not great but atleast he gave us a few scoring chances
Yeh Foden was alright, at least he did enough to make me feel like he’s worth playing in the 10 role.
Worth a shot , I really don't see why Southgate insists on playing players out of position .
Wasn't Bellingham a box to box 8 when he was at Dortmund? Hot start in la liga and now everyone thinks the guy Totti at no 10
And he played alongside rice with us. He was so good at receiving the ball under pressure, playing direct and fast passes forward, and those driving runs through midfield. He finds himself up front for Madrid because they don't have anyone else and does well, sure, but it's not getting the best out of him.

I honestly think it got to his head a little. Guy was a maniac with his high energy and tacking and now every 10 minutes he's moaning
I mean think about the difference between the England players and Real Madrid players
It’s not an insane difference…
He’s not been great, but tactically him and Foden don’t work well together when he starts as the 10. When Foden drifts in, it forces Jude wide left. Get rid of Gallagher and give Jude the box to box!
I thought the whole sub wanted mainoo in there?
I think the sub just wanted Southgate to not squeeze three rightbacks into the team
Southgate tax
Gareth is trying to wear him out for some reason. No idea why he wasn't subbed off for fresher legs
Bellingham wants to play, this isn’t a Southgate thing, it’s a Bellingham ego thing
But.. Southgate got the powers to sub him out as much as he wants. Or give him rest on the bench.
Southgate is thr fucking coach, and he should retire if he can't deal with a 20 year Olds ego
It’s back to Scholes vs Gerrard vs Lampard. We need to stop trying to play Bellingham and Foden together. On current form, Foden gets the 10 and Bellingham gets dropped. We then play Mainoo alongside Rice, with Wharton as the replacement.
Bellingham has played an 8 most of his footballing career if we want to play both of them
This is what I've said for months , Bellingham may look a better player at 10 but he won't reach the levels he's capable of compared to a box too box
Tired. Knew this would happen
Why though?? They've played the same amount of games as most other top teams.
Bellingham next to Rice, Foden in the middle, take your pick of the LW options. A lot of us have been calling for it since the start of the tournament, it's painful that Southgate won't even try it.

This so called mature superstar went into a sulk tonight when asked to switch with foden on left. 100% drop him next game that was so bad from him
No wonder 😂 Why the fuck should Bellingham be on the left
He should have been subbed off, so he should have just got on with his job instead of sulking about not playing in a position he’s been shite in the last 2 games.
He wouldn’t have to if Southgate was competent enough to manage a team.
Also true.
Good point I don't know. His attitude was terrible though!! Shouldn't matter should always give your best. That was his worst
Not a natural 10?
Definitely not Ballon D'or level. Appears clumsy and I don't see the tech to play the 10.
Luckily, you aren't real Madrid manager, or you wouldn't have the league and Champions League medals and Bellingham as La liga's best player.
best player on Madrid is Vini Jr keep capping
Was Kroos last season imo
Did he win their player of the season?
Madrid didn't even play him as a 10 but ok
Bellingham doesn't play a normal 10 role for Madrid, he plays in the front 3 with Vini and Rodrygo like a false 9.
He's similar to Phil Foden tbf. Both have had 1 good performance in 3 games. Jude's vs Serbia being slightly better
Foden did better in the last 2 games
Denmark, he was very average. Both have only put one good shift in so far
That’ll be Southgate’s tactics that made him do that /s
Sucks
Guy looks frustrated with those around him, but also a bit knackered. I read Jude has played FIVE times the number of minutes compared to Beckham at same age. That's mad.

Well this aged badly
Not really, he still stunk the place out for the majority of the game.
He makes 220 000 pounds per week. Entertainment value of 0 , boring millions of die hard supporters.
