No doubt he has talent, but I just don’t think he suits the attack we have. Him and Kane is the new Gerrard/Lampard situation. It just doesn’t work, and Kane is obviously undroppable.

Happy with either Gordon or Rashford tbh.
Looked fine last night. Bellingham was linking up with everyone and played in Madueke who missed a sitter. It's not a Gerrard/Lampard situation at all IMO. I actually think Bellingham is ideal in the number 10 with 2 out and out wingers either side of him like last night.
Given the heat substitutions are going to be a major factor in many games and the England options look to be excellent choices in most positions.
We looked far more of a threat when he went off though.
Feel like he plays as though he’s under pressure. Like he feels he has to do something every time he gets the ball. Rogers does the simple things, and it just seems more effective.
It’s a nice problem to have. Hopefully both will have a good tournament.
Think this is our main strength. Top quality through the squad. Being able to bring the likes of Eze, Mainoo, Rashford etc on is crazy.
Agree with this. And also having a manager not afraid to drop players who are underperforming, no matter who they are. Players have to earn the right to be in the starting line up.
You think that's crazy - look at the French squad!
I thought Bellingham was great last night actually, best he's been for England in a while.
Rogers was also good when he came on but missed an absolute sitter.
Rogers is better at dribbling, one touch flicks and has a ridiculous cut in from the left shot but Bellingham is better at almost everything else.
We have so many options it's great.

I feel Bellingham is a bit static around the edge of the box. Rogers makes so many runs. The sitter you mentioned was bad, but, I wonder if Jude would have even attempted the run in the first place.
Like I said originally, the attacks seem to slow down a bit whenever Jude gets the ball. I wonder if he might not benefit from coming on as a sub in the first couple of games rather than as a starting, just to take the pressure off him a bit.
