In a lacklustre showing against Slovenia, Jude Bellingham couldn’t contain his frustration, venting expletives towards his teammates during England’s dour 0-0 draw.
During the match, a visibly irritated Bellingham was caught on camera yelling “F***ing pass” in what appeared to be moments of mounting frustration.
Analysts dissected the incident, highlighting his discontent with the team’s performance, particularly around missed opportunities following set-pieces.
The match itself mirrored the sentiments of many fans in the stadium, who endured yet another uninspiring display from the England squad.
Despite securing a crucial point that helped them top their group, the team’s lack of attacking flair drew criticism and even anger from supporters.
Bellingham, known for his dynamic play, struggled to make an impact, with stats showing his lowest duel success rate and numerous turnovers.
This performance, coupled with a generally lacklustre offensive effort against an underdog team, left fans frustrated and disenchanted.
Looking Ahead
As England progresses to the knockout stages, there’s a palpable need for improvement, both in individual performances like Bellingham’s and in the team’s overall strategy.
Avoiding powerhouse teams in the upcoming rounds offers a chance for redemption, but the pressure is on for Gareth Southgate’s squad to deliver a more convincing performance.
