I mentioned it on the Haaland thread but how good are these two Bellingham is an incredible talent.

If England don’t base the side around these two then we’re idiots.
 
This will be ultimately the downfall of Gareth Southgate and what will destroy the reputation of a thoroughly decent man in the eyes of the English public.

To not build a team around generational talents like Foden and Bellingham at a World Cup is going to be criminal. We should be destroying the majority of teams with the squad of players we have, especially in forward areas, but Southgate simply won’t take the hand break off and let them play.
 
Those are the exact words you said to me when I chose Mitrovic for the Notebook 📖✍️🤣👍
I’m not saying I spotted them
I’m saying I mentioned both in the Haaland thread below but their talent deserved it’s own thread as they are both exceptional.

I’m celebrating the talent we have going into Qatar.

I know sorry I was just winding you up but didn't do a very good job of it 😃

Bellingham would probably get into any international side in the world for me. The only one you can argue is France with them having Pogba and Kante.

The only issue I can see with Foden is that he clearly only knows how to play how Guardiola wants to play, so clearly struggles playing for England when he has must more responsibility and needs more tactical awareness.
 
Bold statement that re Gazza

You didn’t win £10 on Saturday did you

Win £10? On what? 😂

Gascoigne was the best player in the world from 89-92. All opinions of course but he’s the best English player I’ve ever seen.. closely followed by Rooney and Robson.

Phil Foden has everything to be the planet’s best player.

It’s been said before.. but I think this is the first time it’s been anywhere near true.

All it took was 20 years of Gazza inspired premier league football and 8 years of a Barcelona system of coaching, academy and management.

Gazza did barefoot on broke glass with a tab in one hand and a can of darling in the other.
 
I really hope Southgate sets up 433, with Mount and Bellingham in midfield. Won't get the best out of Foden or Bellingham if we play with wing-backs and Bellingham is played too deep, with Foden isolated. This is what happened in the match against Germany.

Bellingham is at his best playing as the left sided midfielder of a midfield 3 with licence to roam box to box. The problem we have is that we don’t have another natural box to box midfielder to play the other side of Rice.

Sadly though Southgate will play 343

Pickford

Stones
Dier
Maguire

Trippier
Rice
Bellingham
Shaw

Saka
Kane
Sterling

It’s so depressing.
