Paul Merson thinks the Real Madrid star is the man to unlock defences for England at the World Cup

00:00I would always play Bellingham. I just think he gives you that extra.
00:04You're going to beat these teams by third-man runs or someone running from midfield, like Scolese did.
00:10And Roy did as well. Do you know what I mean? Make them runs.
00:14That's what we've got to do.
00:15If it's people standing with their back behind the goal and at number 10 you're getting the ball
00:20and there's a midfielder there and a defender right up your backside,
00:24there's nowhere for you to go.
00:26So I think sometimes give people something to think about.
00:30I just think if you just have someone playing as a 10 and they're going across the lines,
00:34you're not hurting anybody.
00:35I would play Bellingham. I think Rodgers has the advantage at the moment
00:38because teams have a go at Aston Villa.
00:42And I think until the end of the season when teams might show Villa a little bit more respect
00:46than they deserve, then it'll be a difference.
00:49But I would play him.
