Because Palmer at wingback would be a suicidal tactic, especially against Aebischer and Ndoye (who will trade sides throughout the match).

He is an out-and-out attacker, with little in the way of defensive skills (or work rate beyond the halfway line), as evidenced by his side being constantly exploited last season whilst playing with Chelsea.

He is supremely talented going forward, but a huge weakness going backward.

I would have had Palmer in over Bellingham, personally, as I think he and Phil would wreak havoc with so many defenders behind them allowing them to completely focus on attack, but we all knew Southgate was never going to drop Bellingham.

I'm just trying to get the most talent on the field considering the constraints.

I know Rice, Phil and Jude can't be dropped. :(
 
Hopefully, with Saka playing (supposedly) as left wing-back, this will give Phil more licence to drift infield and influence the game more.

I'm actually hoping Bellingham and foden link up a lot. They could be very good.

They could, and I certainly hope they do.

Then, and only then, will I praise Bellingham.

If he does what he has done all tournament up to now, which is to refuse to pass to him, my contempt for him will only grow.
