Most English pundits/fans said before the tournament we should be utilising him in the same way he’s effective at Real Madrid.
Easy to claim he’s actually crap after the fact of losing a final. In reality his overall season was fantastic. And if he develops the areas of the game he needs to he’ll be dominant.
Southgate utilised him, Foden, Kane, Saka, Rice etc. poorly. Foden was city’s best player last season and looked like a guy you’d find in a pub all tournament
Thing is, this season was a one-off, not so much that he can't devolop as a player, but in terms of the role that he has, with Mbappe's arrival, Bellingham will for sure have to take more of a supporting role.
Vinicius was already ahead of him in the attack(no shame tbf), you can only have so many players who wants to make runs in behind at the same time, and it won't be Bellingham.
Somebody has to make up for Mbappe's zero defensive work rate, and Bellingham is the odd man out, so he will have to adapt.
