Too many cooks spoil the broth


So I've had a little analyse of why quality players ain't shining as much as you expect them too. I put it down to that you can't have all the superstar players in the same team.

Football is a team sport. Each player has the role that they're an expert of.

Now you've got two quality players, both seen as number 10s in Bellingham and Foden. They both want be the main man for their team. But they need the correct pieces around them to make them shine. When you have two members of your team that want to do the same job, then that's gonna make you weaker.

I can understand that Southgate wants both players on the field because they're both top drawer players and it takes a lot of bottle to leave a player of their quality out of the team.

So my only criticism of Southgate would be that he wasn't brave enough to choose one or the other between Bellingham and Foden.

So I'm saying that they can't be on the field together again if you want to see a more effective team.
