England fans were left wanting more from Jude Bellingham after his performance against Latvia in Thomas Tuchel's second game as England manager.

England cruised to a 3-0 win against Latvia at Wembley on Monday night with goals from Reece James, Harry Kane, and Eberechi Eze proving the difference.

The result puts England firmly at the top of their World Cup qualification group with six points out of six.

Despite a comfortable nights work for Tuchel's men starman Bellingham had a rather quiet evening for his standards, and was replaced by Phil Foden after 67 minutes.

Bellingham's performance could be put down to a slight change of position, with the Real Madrid man playing deeper than usual for England with Morgan Rogers taking on the number 10 role.

The 21-year-old was also rather fortunate to stay on the pitch, after escaping a second booking for a late tackle moments before being substituted.

While a slightly below par performance from England's Euro 2024 hero isn't particularly worrying, many fans have taken to social media to start an 'uncomfortable conversation' around the midfielder.

One fan wrote: "Bellingham is the player you see clips on YouTube and think wow but actually watch 90 mins of and your underwhelmed."

Another added: "Bellingham is so frustrating to watch sometimes, very overrated."

A third claimed: "Bellingham is VERY good, but there’s a massive gap between him and Pedri if we’re being honest."

A fourth fan posted: "Don’t get me wrong, he’s a decent player, but Bellingham could be the most overrated player in history!!"

Another fan claimed the performance of Rogers should also be a cause for concern for Bellingham ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

He claimed: "If Morgan Rogers follows his current development trajectory, he will displace Jude Bellingham off of his starting spot by 2026 World Cup."

Is Bellingham becoming overrated or is he the key to World Cup success? Let us know in the comments below.
