I'd always watch players and you always get a sense of a player's...
personality their effect on the group you know by how they carry themselves and I always looked at him and definitely last night I thought his body language was good even when Kane scored and he was full of running he was hard it was hard working like the tackles back and everything you know what I mean very eye-catching I felt almost too much in the first half
You look at that goal that they scored just before half-time.
Look at his position.
He's deeper than two number sixes.
So when that ball gets played square inside, England have all 11 players back.
Harry Kane is close.
You have the two number sixes, Wright and Anderson.
And as soon as I watched the replay of that goal, I thought to myself...
Like the structure of the team, the structure and integrity of the team should have been the two sixes and the eight in front of him, which is Bellingham.
So you have that triangle, right?
So the eight should have been in the one stopping that ball and he wasn't there.
And I thought, where is he?
And I had to have a quick look.
He was right next to Rhys James.
So he was behind Elliot Anderson, I think it was.
And I thought, why is he there?
Why has he got sucked in?
Could he not pass the runner on?
And I felt that they were getting too much time in the field in the first half, and mostly because Bellingham was just running off, trying to win the ball.
