Paul Merson thinks the Real Madrid star is the man to unlock defences for England at the World Cup
Transcript
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, 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
00:39Because 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 than they deserve
00:48Then it'll be a difference, but I would play him
