Bellingham showed tonight what an outstanding player he is, having these easy games has been a godsend for Gareth, who has been able to take key players off and give others game time, so they are fresh for the next match.
When we are attacking we look absolute quality, but we have to play quick one touch football to get in behind teams, our problem lies with the defence? Yes we have only conceded 2 goals so far, but all this passing around the back 4 slows down the game and the midfield constantly going backwards giving it to them and it doesn’t aid our game! Bellingham was having none of that against Senegal and just kept going through them causing mayhem.
France is a proper test and should be a great game, but we have to have a go! I know there are times where the defence have to hold the ball, but a lot of time we do it needlessly, if we don’t start off on the front foot against France and pass it quickly into dangerous areas they will do us.
