There's a star man, playing on the right ⭐️🦐
Bellingham is such a quality player.
I couldn't work out the cheers / jeers whenever Maguire passed the ball. Was that English fans or the Scots ?
Apart from a spell in the second half, which resulted in Scotland’s goal, I felt we were comfortable and controlled the game almost from start to finish.
Bellingham is already some player. Not point in talking about his potential, when he is already a monster. He wasn’t on his game at the weekend, but was firing last night. Foden, for me too, is another to build a team around. He is quality and how he isn’t a starter every week for City & England baffles me.
Felt for Maguire. Apart from that own goal, he has never let England down. Been in teams of the tournament for us, scored crucial goals, and been a leader back there. The criticism, and making him a scapegoat is well over the top from pundits and fans alike. I’ve not seen this type of stick for a player since Beckham and his sending off. But Maguire hasn’t had a moment like that.
Yes, he isn’t the best centre half in the world, yes Manchester United overpaid for him, but that isn’t his fault. He makes a good partnership alongside Stones, and IMHO, the other centre halves we have as options aren’t as good as Maguire. Maybe the lad at Chelsea will be his long term replacement for him, but I don’t think it’ll be Guehi or Dunk, who played well and I’d have no problems with him being in the squad more.
Scotland aren’t at England’s level yet. Yes, they’ve improved, and will qualify for the Euros, but they won’t be a threat.
