Southgate Out…

I’m starting to feel sorry for the man, honestly.

He has the right face for it.

Yet unfortunately it’ll be talent wasted as long as we have Southgate in charge.

You don't think that he got the best out of Bellingham by selecting a deeper midfielder (Phillips over Mount), allowing him a more forward role then?

With you there tbh. But Southgate will keep playing him due to stubbornness about people criticising him as a manager. The kind thing to do would be leave him out due to some fictional herpes of the toe or something.

Pickford in goal FFS
Maguire in the back four, FFS
Henderson playing at all FFS
Maddison playing but possibly stuck on the left?

FFS

I stopped watching international football ages ago. It’s ultimately a great pile of wank.

Jude Bellingham is just world class. Best player England have produced in ages.

Yep. On another level.

Actually the best player Germany have produced in ages. They must be ****ing gutted.

I'm sure the people of Brum will love that comment! He really is a poster boy for getting out of your comfort zone and going to a club where he got competitive games week in, week out. There must be a lot of lads at Chelsea and the Manchesters wishing they'd followed his lead

And yet players like Sancho and Madueke, who did similar things, have now moved back to those clubs and aren’t playing again. The importance of picking the right club to move to is huge.

Well, the people of Brum aren't likely to read the comment really. For 2 reasons.

1) Unlikely to be on an LCFC forum

2) Unlikely to be able to read

Anyway, he left Brummagem at 16 so I'd be inclined to give Dortmund more credit for producing the player we see today. If he'd been happy with his development there I very much doubt he'd have upped sticks to foreign parts to negotiate a language barrier & the other unknowns. Thats a big step for an established pro let alone a young teen. Well done that lad.

Still, being desperate to get out of Birmingham isn't that uncommon a thing...
