Bolded is the example of the overhype. How many games has he consistently shown those abilities?He's not overhyped.
He is hyped because he has the ability to move the ball forward and dictate play both with his dribbling and short passing.
I mean Southgate was playing Kalvin Phillips & TAA in the last tournaments to have some ball distribution to show just how rare he is as a young English midfielder.
I'd argue for example - if Bellingham and Rice play in a double pivot with Palmer as the CAM, England will be playing differently to playing Rice & Mainoo in a double pivot & playing Bellingham as the no 10.
He is quite a rare talent for us in particular because we haven't had someone who can even help with the distribution of the ball for a decade now & probably put the full stop on crying every summer about not getting Frenkie De Jong over and over again.
How many games last season can you say he ran/controlled? Nice looking short passes is not dictating play.
