'Unbelievably stupid' - Lee Carsley slammed for 'garbage' Jude Bellingham experiment for England's clash with Greece

<p>According to the <a href="https://t.co/b9ZIOBijaN" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>, England boss Carsley is set to try Bellingham out as a false nine in the UEFA Nations League clash against Greece in order to accommodate the 21-year-old along with Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon. However, several fans are not too pleased about the change-up, with one claiming Bellingham is starting purely because he plays for Real Madrid. It would mean natural forwards Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke will start on the bench.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>@j_macgeever: "This is just garbage."</p><p>@kingseychy21: "He needs to play a proper forward. No need for experiment."</p><p>@catlike1: "Makes no sense. What is he thinking?"</p><p>@irrelevantBCFC: "Can’t we just play players in their actual positions. He doesn’t have to start every game because he plays for Real Madrid."</p><p>@astonvilla___: "False 9 with Foden, Palmer and Saka is unbelievably stupid."</p><p>@FHG10VTID: "Deep lying striker. Absolute nonsense."</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>The potential change for Bellingham as a central forward also comes after Harry Kane's injury during <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bayern-munich-omar-marmoush-steals-draw-eintracht-frankfurt-cancel-michael-olise-harry-kane-injury-vincent-kompany-misery/blt93663c20a3459cd0" target="_blank">Bayern Munich's 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt</a>.
