Let’s talk Bellingham performance

When you watch him play, he is obviously a cut above I think. There's no doubting his quality, and he has that Real Madrid swagger and drive to win.

But like you say, I think he is knackered. A long old season for players like him, and he is only young (and kind of injured, I think?). I think a lot of players are, and that's why the whole Euros has been played at almost 70% it seems like.

He has been a bit disappointing, but I think it benefits no-one to single him out
 
First half I thought he was very good. Always shows for the ball, has the ability to ride tackles and move England forward.

Him being in the team makes the opposition think, as they all know he is outstanding. It’s the first time England have had someone considered one of the best players at the biggest club in the world. That alone is worth him being on the pitch.
 
He probably is knackered.

Both he and Kane suffered injuries at the end of long seasons and aren't in the condition they'd want to be.

Exactly!!!! The one player everyone wants in their team- puffs his chest out, always wanting the ball and going and demanding the ball. Wow.
The only player who could produce some magic if we needed it such as the overhead kick.
His presence alone, frightens the opposition, and especially the Spanish who have been watching him all season and are biting their nails as we speak
 
Hasn’t been at his best but he’s come up with 3 very important moments. Winner against Serbia, Tournament saving over head kick and a penalty in the shoot out.

You wouldn’t rule it out that he is saving his best for the final. Come on Jude.

Foden really stepped it up last night too and that’s the position he should be playing as he is the most natural on the half turn. It’s what I’ve said all along. Him and Bellingham as 2 no 10s is looking the right call from Southgate, glad he made the change.

Great player but needs to remember it's a team game and just lay the ball off. At the moment he seems to have a 'saviour complex' like every time he gets the ball it's all on him to pull off something spectacular. While he's trying to work out how to achieve some Hollywood moment simpler, better options go begging. Be patient lad.

Referencing this to the Boro and the people who sit near me this is what you would get if Isaiah Jones took on his man EVERY fecking time he got the ball, it doesn't work like that.
 
Transformed our tournament with a goal that I think could become as iconic as Hursts hat trick goal or Gazzas at Euro 96. Very good first half yesterday but struggled for space second half as the Dutch stifled the game more.

If he has a good final and England win he could easily win the ballon d’or.

Here for discussion so if you’d like to add anything more other than ‘oh dear’ that’d be great because you obviously know a lot more about this subject than me.

Bellingham has been one of the best players in Germany and has just been named the best player in Spain, yet you think it’s not as good as others think.

The evidence shows the lad is outstanding. Even at the end of the season, not quite 100% fit, he is still making moments for England, and standing up to be counted.

Bellingham is slightly out of position now though
