    Jude Bellingham

    Maybe, but it's only a counterbalance to the incessant hype that has always surrounded the kid. But yeah, two wrongs don't make a right. I don't have anything in particular against him, I just don't like his profile of player. A moments player masquerading as a midfielder won't work in modern...

    Jude Bellingham

    Vini is a quality player but he's been poor for a while. I also think he's quite limited in that he can only really play wide left and cut in and shoot. At least Mbappe shows variety by going down the middle etc. I also consider him a better finisher than Vini.

    Jude Bellingham

    Tbh Mbappe is a better player than Vini and Bell. It isn't Mbappe specifically, it's trying to shoehorn all these guys in. If you are gonna have a balanced system but have one world-class gamechanger I'd always have Mbappe as my wild card over those other two. I am not even that big a fan of...

    Jude Bellingham

    Yeah, but anyone who sees football beyond stats can see he isn't that good. And the stats are drying up now. He's loved by guys who have homoerotic mancrushes too. He's clearly mediocre defensively as his positioning is suspect, but guys like Gato and Temptation think he must be great...

    Club World Cup

    As a profile of player, intelligent, controlling midfielders will always be way more attractive than guys who are on the periphery of the game and just get in the box to finish. It's actually disgusting when some football fans compare Gerrard to Xavi or Bellingham to Pedri. The audacity...

    Jude Bellingham

    Really don't get the fuss about him at all. A limited runner into the box. Always gets found out when he plays against teams as good or better. Just never understood the hype around him and never will. He is basic.

    Not just better, absolutely far better. Like you say they push stats because in so many areas that aren't scoring Messi pisses on him.

    Club World Cup

    True, but his fans have always forced the issue more about what he wins than how he wins it. Remember them trying to claim he had a similar tournament at Euro 2016 to Maradona in Mexico 86 based on similar stats? Never mind that Diego scored wonderful goals and produced amazing passes and...

    Imagine if they did win it though, with him being a bit part player. And him being invisible and carried in the final, but all the arseholes going on about him winning it AND being the oldest player ever to win it. Horrific thought.

    Fernando Alonso could probably be coaching them better tonight.

    Club World Cup

    Deep down he'd know he's a fraud for winning it while barely playing his part. He'd shamelessly celebrate it outwardly but inside his ego would kill him.

    Let's hope Bobby Brown Shoes keeps playing him at RB in the national team.

    Trying to fit Vinicius and Mbappe into the team doesn't work. I know it's not news, but Mbappe has been scoring but Vinicius's game has taken a hit. I wonder if Alonso will have the balls to drop Vini at some point and play with more balance. Probably not. They have these problems all over the...

    Yes, their movement and positional play is Barca of Pep esque, it's that good.

    Yeah pace and energy are very very important in modern football. I don't think you can carry Lewy either.

    Bellingham has been hopeless too. He always is when he comes up against a team that is equal or better.
