JUDE BELLINGHAM ANALYSIS. A THREAD: #judebellingham #jude #bellingham #MUFC #ManchesterUnited #analysis @ManUtd
Player overview:
Bellingham at 16 could probably be best described as a box-to-box midfielder that offers a similar output in both attack and defence, relying on his technical prowess, excellent first touch and tackling abilities to aid Birmingham and their tactics.
Bellingham at 16 could probably be best described as a box-to-box midfielder that offers a similar output in both attack and defence, relying on his technical prowess, excellent first touch and tackling abilities to aid Birmingham and their tactics.
Technical prowess and positioning:
He tends to either drop deeper to assist the build-up by providing his teammates with additional passing channels and recycling possession or surge forward and look to exploit the space in between the opposition’s lines to advance the play.

Bellingham first drifts into his respective half-space, immediately gets the attention of the opposition’s defender and once he is successfully pulled out of the defensive line, the youngster uses his pace to run straight into that pocket of space.
He quickly recognises that it will be difficult to progress the ball safely from the position it’s currently at and despite everyone else moving forward, he stops and drops deeper to open an additional outlet for his teammate and enables the ball to be moved into an unmarked area
He’s averaging 4.04 dribbles in the ongoing campaign with a fairly impressive success rate of 58.2%. Starting out wide, Bellingham has the ability to avoid pressure from the opposition and set himself up for success when running into the final third or into the box.
Once his final ball improves enough to consistently impact the game and alter the result, genuine threat every time he’s in possession and charging the opposition. At the moment, he’s already successfully finishing 55.3% of his actions with an average of 72.32.
Defensive style of play:
Bellingham breaks Birmingham’s defensive shape in order to engage the player on the ball, slides into the challenge and then proceeds to run forward once possession has been restored for his team.

Bellingham goes into a risky slide from behind but still not only takes the ball away but gets up, shields it effectively and recycles possession to his teammate once the opposition player has been shaken off. On average, he makes 1.28 sliding tackles with 60% success rate.
This illustrates how he once again moves out of the organised defensive shape in order to aggressively press the ball-carrier. Even though this doesn’t always guarantee the ball is intercepted and can be risky, it’s clearly a part of his profile and the tactics of his coach.
After engaging and forcing the first player off the ball, he continues his run to do the same to the second player, this time exiting the duel with possession and playing it in his teammate’s path to continue the attack.
Passing:
Generally speaking, his passing can be described as decent and still developing. Some of his strongest passing links come with players on higher platforms as he sprays the ball wide and diagonally forward but mostly in an attempt to progress it further up the pitch.

On average, he sends out 10.07 forward passes with 58.9% accuracy and 5.26 backwards passes with 93.2% accuracy. The tendency to move the ball forward is already visible and the same can be confirmed by one of his passmaps from the ongoing season.
We can see an example of that below. Bellingham is in possession out wide and while he has the vision to identify his target and see the channel through which to send the ball, he still puts too much power on it and sends it into a goal-kick.
Firstly, he receives the ball out wide and in an advanced position on the pitch, just as we’ve already highlighted in this tactical analysis scout report, and then uses his dribbling to beat his marker and progress the ball. #bellingham
Final remarks:
His technicality on the ball and fantastic defensive skills make him a well-rounded player.Once he polishes his passing abilities; becomes more comfortable and decisive when in possession, he can finally utilise his skills to their fullest potential.
