The Three Lions fell to an embarrassing 2-1 defeat at Wembley on Thursday night with Bellingham scoring his side’s goal to briefly pull England level. With Bellingham taking up a free role, occasionally the furthest man forward as a false nine, Souness believes the Real Madrid star was asked to play ‘completely out of position doing something he would have not enjoyed’.
