Have said this before, but there doesn't seem to be harmony within the England team.He's morphing into Rashford, waving his arms about, moaning, lying down asking for free kick, it's time one or two senior players put him in his fuckin place cos boregate ain't got the bottle to do it
That reminds me of a line from Porridge, where Godber says to Barraclough, "Mean, moody, magnificent," following the orchestrated riot.Jude, if you're going to be mean and moody you need to be magnificent too. And you 'ain't.
Not a fucking chance!Have said this before, but there doesn't seem to be harmony within the England team.
Southgate was rightly praised for initially forging a strong team spirit, with no club cliques or prima donnas.
But, now "King" Harry, is no longer getting the media headlines and plaudits, there seems to be divisions.
As captain and an experienced player, he needs to enthuse and motivate the team, especially the younger players such as Bellingham, Saka, Rice and Foden. He does not do this.
But, I think Kane should never be the captain as he is too much of an individual player.
He wasn't even captain at Tottenham !
The lack of an on field leader allows Bellingham to play up and throw a strop, which he regularly does.
So Southgate needed, in my opinion, to select a stronger captain, before the tournament.
In the next knock-out game, Kane and Bellingham need to be subbed (and early enough to change the game) if they do not improve on previous performances.
However, will Southgate show any bottle and impose his authority ?
From the outside looking in, and with no actual insight, my opinion is that Alexander-Arnold and Bellingham are divisive personalities with an arrogance and entitlement, and there are a few who aren’t about it.Have said this before, but there doesn't seem to be harmony within the England team.

Waistcoat would have known all this when making his team selection. He, or one of his advisors would have inside knowledge of each players' personalities: who's a leader, who's a follower and so on. The fact that they look like 11 strangers when on the pitch, no camaraderie, no team-bonding, is once again down to the ineptitude of Southgate's ability as a professional football manager.From the outside looking in, and with no actually insight, my opinion is that Alexander-Arnold and Bellingham are divisive personalities with an arrogance and entitlement, and there are a few who aren’t about it.
