    I would like him as close to the goal as possible. Dude is wasted using as a box to box.

    I wouldn't. Please for the love of God buy a striker to play as one for the first time in like 20 years.

    I think we can forget about that for a while now.

    I think the guy plays like a crash test dummy, just like Carvajal does/did. That's a positive from an entertainment perspective but he's going to be basically damaged by the time he's even close to his late 20s.

    The most intelligent player from a health preservation perspective we've had in midfield recently is Modric and Kroos to certain levels, never putting their feet in the fire if it's not worth it, turtle up nicely when a collision is coming, great anticipation skills, etc.

    Just falling down, lacing your boots all over and complaining isn't cutting it. I think there's a lot to this if you look at other sports how they practice falling safely, anticipating contact and so on.

    I really hope Bellingham matures into a team captain and a voice for the club, i like him a lot on a personal level.

    He's got some kinks in his in-game leadership/communication that need ironing out, but as a world class footballing player with a formidable mentality and work ethic, he's a rare breed.

    I know, but one thing to consider here is that he's 3 years younger than Vinicius. He's just so young, he's ahead of his time by multiple multiple years.

    He had a few ugly turnovers but was very involved in the midfield. I think he played his role well today, which is more than you can say about guys like Guler and Mbappe

    Guler and Mbappe both had howlers. So in comparison with them sure he was great.

    That being said, he lost the ball a few times and didn’t really add much in attack. If he supposed to be a Balon Dor level player he hasn’t shown it for quite awhile.
