England manager Gareth Southgate is reportedly set to axe Jude Bellingham for tomorrow’s World Cup clash against Wales.
The Three Lions could try something a bit different for their next group game, with Bellingham one of the players who didn’t quite perform at his expected level in the 0-0 draw with the USA.
England started brightly against Iran with a 6-2 win, but the poor performance against the USA is a concern, so it’s not too surprising to now see Southgate switching for experience in midfield for the final group game, with Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson replacing Bellingham, according to the Daily Mail.
Henderson isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, even if he’s been a key player for Liverpool, and it will be interesting to see what kind of reaction this gets from fans.
Even if Bellingham struggled in his last game, he remains a top young talent at the age of just 19, and it might be worth sticking with him for a bit longer so he can grow into his role in the England midfield.
But why are we playing kane? He failed to score do far despite the 6 goals we scored against Iran. He didn’t perform either in the euros. Its the big games he goes missing, jogs around and knows Southgate won’t drop him.
Southgate will play a half fit kane over a fully fit golden. Bonkers of a manager. He began his england career winning me over stating he won’t play in form players only and will jot play favourites. He has now gone against this and I’m now not much of a fan of his.
He’s a stubborn manager ,he thinks he knows more than anyone else in the game I should know we had him at Boro, got us relegated, l was stunned when he got the job in the first place
