Bellingham is clearly the better footballer, but I think what Anderson does for the team is much more beneficial.
In the rules of sir Alf id pick the best team and not players. Just like Jack Taylor being ahead of Cajuste at the moment. Deffo makes for a better team, just like I said a few months back. |  | | |  |

Rogers is the one who's been playing instead of Bellingham and doing so admirably. Anderson plays a bit deeper alongside Rice. |  |

That's not a decision that is required to make. Bellingham plays 10 for England. |  |

As nobody else will point this out, they occupy different positions in the team. |  |

I was kind of meaning they will almost never play in the same team as has been the case lately. Anderson is like having 2 players. | | | |

Most other countries would take Bellingham (best player) and build a team and style around him. Not England. See also Paul Scholes |  | | |

I find Bellingham just very arrogant. I'd agree re Anderson over him becuase hes not " lording it about" ..... |  |

Carrick should have had 100 caps in our midfield. |  | | |

Certainly should have had more than he got.
Those two noughties CM places (was always a 442) had scholes, carrick, lampard, gerrard, hargreaves all in the mix.
Personally, I think gerrard got many more than he should have done. I do always seem to be in the minority on this view though. | |

Can't disagree with this. He seems like an epic bell and the media are making no secret of it that Tuchel is trying to take him down a peg.
The England team is generally filled with good characters (Kane, Saka, Burn, Rice, Rashford, Eze, Watkins etc) but I have to admit I am no Bellingham fan. |  |

Not sure he is our best player tbh.
I prefer Rice and Wharton in midfield Saka Bellingham Rashford in front behind Kane.
Happy days. [Post edited 18 Nov 11:23]

We've tried desperately to shoe horn big name players into the team where they're playing out of position or getting in each other's way. I like that Tuchel has a plan and the players have to fit. It means you don't get picked on reputation. If Bellingham is the best 10 we have.... he gets picked. It's up to him to prove that. | | | |

I'll put the different positions issue aside. I think that Tuchel wants a squad happy to be in the squad not feeling entitled that they should be there and playing. We're fortunate we have such strength and depth that we could consider going to the WC without him. |  | | |

Not having Bellingham in the team is a joke. Another tournament we're going to mess up incoming. |  |

At the moment I think Tuchel's England XI would be:
________Pickford
James Stones Guehi O'Reilly
_____Anderson Rice
Saka___Bellingham_Rashford
________Kane
Obviously there's still a long way to go for players to earn or lose their place |  |

Avoiding the point that we have played better without him by far.
We need to learn the lessons the past the best players don’t always make the best teams, you can have the best 11 in the world but if the atmosphere is toxic it wont work.
The golden generation it has now come out , stuck to cliques and didn’t mix, whereas Southgate brought lessers players into a team. The results speak for themselves.
Bellingham appears to have a bit of an attitude problem from Tuchels comments and his behaviour last night when subbed, and if that is deemed enough to unbalance the team as a whole he should be left out. |  |

A bit of an attitude problem is probably underplaying it. We need a team to all be on the same page and at the moment Bellingham clearly isn't. I recognize he is a great player but if you have a lousy attitude which will be tolerated at Real Madrid as they have a squad of players with attitude. At international level you really need everyone aligned. | | | |

He impressed me when i first started watching him
But in alot of his most recent past english games, he reminds me of of a celina type player. Didn't do alot for 89 minutes, scores in the 90th and gets the plaudits of being amazing. |  |

At scoring goals, sure. As an all round footballer, Gerrard was far superior. Lampard seems more likeable whereas Gerrard has always seemed a bit of a bellend but in terms of ability, Gerrard was a much better player. | |

I disagree.
Look at their trophy cabinets. | | | |

That's a daft way to judge individual players. Phil Neville has a more impressive trophy cabinet than Gerrard as well, doesn't make him a better player. | |

More goals
More assists
More appearances.
Gerrard could hit the ball harder. | | | |

Gerrard was a much more complete player than Lampard. | |
