[@Anchises]

Fabregas made a great point about how subs send a message to both teams. Defensive subs signal to your team to sit back, and signal to the opposition that you feel vulnerable. Bringing on Palmer and Gordon at the 60 minute mark would have put us back on the front foot.

[@dstewusa7054]

@Anchises Underrated comment

[@123daniel4]

Foden already done the damage. He is failing Southgate. Those subs were to protect the lead. An unfit Saka is Messi compared to Foden. Foden has no excuse. People have so much hope for Foden. Saka unfit still performs. How can you not perform and still play the next game. Look what Rooney did all those years ago even a young Owen. Playing someone who doesn't want it is bad for morale. Gorden is the new Owen and Eze. Unleash them. Foden isn't the Jesus you all are hoping for. I hope the manager ignores the noise and play the hungry players.

[@alibabashero]

Never was a game more analysed on before and England won. Just imagine England lost.

For once I agree with Cundy. Kane comes too deep and Foden doesn’t play wide meaning Kane Bellingham and Foden are getting in each others way.

[@BiggestBirdonMars]

Funny enough Kane didn't drop deep much in that match The thing Bellingham who was playing 10 spent more time in the left wing than he did centrally and getting in the way of foden It's either you play Phil in the 10 and drop Jude to his actual position in the 8 cuz his play style is literally that of an 8 If they don't play foden in the 10 just bench Phil for God sake

[@jimtatum7344]

@@BiggestBirdonMars I don't think 8 is Bellingham's position, like the caller said he is the best in the world at the 10, he plays there for Madrid and England and has proved that's where he is most effective. I agree with what you say though, if you're not going to play Foden in 10 (or at least RW) then bench him. It doesn't mean we're wasting him, we can still bring him off from the bench and he can impact games.

[@BiggestBirdonMars]

@@jimtatum7344 that's the thing Just doesn't actually play 10 when he's on the pitch even for Madrid it england He moves everywhere on the pitch He plays box to box,an all action 8 who's good at almost everything he doesn't necessarily create or playmaker for Madrid That is Kroos job He plays like an 8 and not a 10 Yesterday he scored but he didn't create anything threatening or even a key pass All the things he does RN as the "#10" he'll still do those things if he plays 8 cuz truth is that he did everything except for the job of a #10🤷🏻 He played 8 at Dortmund It's where he's best at When mbappe comes back he'll go back to that position which is why Madrid want to buy wirtz They wouldn't be planning to buy wirtz if Bellingham was a 10

[@danh4859]

If Foden is as good as we are constantly being told, he can play as a left sided forward player. He’s not helped by a lack of a left footed LB, certainly - but he should be good enough. Manager makes some wrong calls too in fairness, Gordon or Eze could have changed the dynamic.

Foden is a good player but he only looks world class in that Man City team. He doesn't break games like Bale could.

[@Escape2FreedomAsap]

[@stuartblandford2310]

The problem with all this is that everyone can see it as clear as day apart from Southgate.

[@AllSeeingAllKnowing-p8o]

Foden hasn't had a good game for England in years. 35 caps with just 4 goals and he's called the English Messi 🤣 He has played on both wings and in his favorite position in the middle creating absolute nowt. Against Iceland he had a free reign and was anonymous. Face the fact he's shyte for England. Bellingham is arguably the best no 10 in world football now. Palmer soon to properly challenge that spot when being trusted by management. Pep turned his back on Palmer and must now regret that. He knows what a big mistake he made. Is Southgate going to make that same mistake for his nation?

[@omidamani3484]

Why is everyone trying to make England fit to work for one player. We had this with trying to make gerard and lampard work. Make the team balanced for the formation you want to play, if it doesn't work with foden in that position take foden out and select a player who it would work better with. Yes he is a talent but its about the team, out Gordon or Eze on the left if it works better, its not about who is a better player it's about who is better in that position for that formation Also let's chill out, it's only group stages no one wants to peak too early

[@ImperfectAnalysis]

The problem is not Foden. You can never expect to get the most out of creative intelligent players when we play an extremely defensive formation, that no player in the team is used to at their club teams. Whether they are in their usual position or not, they are not encouraged to go forward, take risks or attack. There is no movement. Sometimes they will play one dimension direct football down the wings until we go a goal up. Then its basically 10 men behind the ball, hold the lead. The problem is Southgate. No player on the pitch is responsible for his lack of desire to attack and win games in style or even convincingly.

[@Aaron-zh7qm]

Foden has never been a good England starter

[@jonchapman86]

[@newhappiness4410]

Foden only benefits if we keep possession longer it’s how he’s more effective at City but I’d still use him in rotation in midfield if we go to a back 3 as we can still have Bellingham, Mainoo and Rice there

[@Lovelydropp]

Mainoo? He shouldn’t be anywhere near getting on the pitch. We just needed a Gordon or Eze on the left to offer more width down the left as once the opposition had realised we were stinking it up down the left they just tripped up on the right to stop all the joy saka was having and Southgate still didn’t change it 😂 a blind man could see it but apparently Southgate couldn’t 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@newhappiness4410]

@@Lovelydropp yeah it was easy to stop Saka n ignore our weak left that was obvious. But pundits r asking how can we fit our 4 top midfielders on the pitch at the same time. Putting club agenda aside I do think Mainoo is better on the pitch than Foden if we don’t have the ball unless you go to a back 3 n use them both which Southgate wouldn’t

[@Lovelydropp]

@@newhappiness4410 well we have the ball for 75%+ of the time so that doesn’t make any sense. And your talking about taking off the premier league player of the season and replacing him with a CDM that’s had a handful of bang average games?

@@Lovelydropp you miss understand my point I’m afraid I didn’t say take Foden off. I’m simply finding a way to include him in his natural position n that is 2 choices we have cover on the left OR we go to a back 3. Mainoo added to Foden, Bellingham n Rice but ONLY in a back 3

[@Lovelydropp]

@@newhappiness4410 oh I get u but no there’s no place for 2 CDM’s. Rice has more than enough on his hands being a lonely DM, he doesn’t need the responsibility to carry another DM next to him. Rice and Mainoo were atrocious together against Iceland

Drop Foden. Put Gordon left wing. Jude central and then your being Mainoo or Walton to partner Rice. The shirt is too heavy for Foden we have seen him coward away for 4+ years

[@Edyoucation-fe1qq]

This isn’t a debate - played at 10 he’s one of the most effective players on the planet and the best player in the prem. played on the wing (for England) he’s got a ceiling of 7/10. Drop Trent, play Gordon.

Cundy idea was excellent going 4.1.4 formation Gordon LW,Saka RW Foden 10 Jude helping Rice and attacking at the same time

The problem with England is that they have got more good attackers..than good holders of the ball.. In most cases ,the team lacks shape.

[@Toon1893]

Play Foden as a 10, this debate about Foden or Bellingham there i don't understand, Bellingham goes all over the pitch for England anyway, at times he was making tackles at LB or taking the ball from CB's, they aren't stupid to occupy the same space or not track back, theres no more protection with Trent in their, Eze or Gordon on the left work defensively as well where Foden on the left doesn't

[@Lovelydropp]

Literally 😂 Bellingham’s natural position that hes played his whole life has been as a box to box midfielder… apart from this last season at Madrid where he’s played striker purely because there wasn’t a striker in the whole club. Put him back in his natural position that he knows best next to rice and play Foden in the 10. Jude still scores goals as the 8. People here are talking like an 8 doesn’t make the late runs into the box 😂 clueless

[@oseirabor1467]

Foden doesn't need to play. If it doesn't work with him then drop him for someone who can play the left side better. Argentina dropped Lautaro Martinez for Julian Alvarez in the WC when Martinez was underperforming. Scaloni dropped Papau Gomez for MacAlister. He dropped Paredes and Guido for Enzo Fernandes. It's a freaking short tournament, players don't have luxury to dip out of form and regain form. If a player doesn't fit or doesn't play well, drop him for someone else who can do better. That's why you've got 26 players.

[@MrJoromekiq1]

Italy had a similar problem in 2006 with Totti and Del Piero. And Del Piero was usually on the bench

[@jmk1233]

You start by saying he plays like an 8 and then go on to say that he spends more time on the wing. The problem will be discipline in positioning and getting caught in transition against the better teams leaving Rice exposed. It's maybe worth a try, but if we don't think it can work against the top teams then it's a waste of time trying the formation out.

@@jmk1233 I said he spends more time out wide than in the 10 He's everywhere I said he does everything but the job of a 10 If he was right next to rice and was little more disciplined with his position it would benefit the entire team overall cuz he has the athleticism to get up and down the pitch and win duels, makes interceptiond as well

Pep could put Foden at centerback and he'd still play better than that second half.I personally rate Phil above everyone else in that squad (apart from Jude) but he does need to take responsibility for his own poor performance.His loose passes had nothing to do with where he was played.Southgate is a good human being and was a class defender but as a top manager he's absolutely woeful.When I saw the post match interview with him talking about being more clinical with our chances I almost dropped my burger...I mean was he even watching the game??...it sounded like he hadn't taken anything in and just guessed a line to say.We win nothing with him as manager...that's a fact.

Arsenal improved massively when they stopped playing Rice as a single pivot and brought in Jorginho.

[@olekmasidnoz9182]

Foden simply needs to moved to the right or midfield. Hes clearly way better in those positions. In my opinion Foden a better RW than Saka and a bettter 8 or 10 than Bellingham. Last season proved that

Foden has never performed for England. He got played in number 10 role for England and was rubbish. Bellingham got player of season in La Liga and Madrid won the champions league. Bellingham twice the player Foden is. Foden has barely been able to secure a place in City until last season. He can only do well if he has all the comfort of playing in pep's team. Outside of that, he's just a decent player.

@@D1A112That's nice for him, is the purpose of Team England to aggrandize Foden or win ball games? Because if it's to win ball games then Bellingham needs to be able to get up the pitch and Foden either needs to figure out the wing or sit on the bench.

[@nayden5834]

What ppl need to get is that the formation when u see it before the game is not what it ACTUALLY is when you have possession & vice versa especially when u have players allowed to roam and interchange. If you have Jude next to rice and Foden as a 10 for example in possession it becomes a 4-1-4-1 or even a 3-2-4-1 almost.... out of possession it's a 5-4-1 ideally. Point being I would take the gamble and drop a CM for a Wide left player to then move Foden centrally. Jude tracks backs and makes runs into the box anyway that's his game.

Bellingham is a better player in every way shape and form than Foden. It is up to Foden to either figure out how to contribute from a different position, or to accept a sub role. It is a completely insane proposition to consider moving Bellingham to a different spot so that Foden feels more comfortable. This coddling of famous Premier league players by trying to manage the fee-fees of inferior players instead of telling them to get on with and do their best to sacrifice for their country team is why england has never won anything in the modern era.

We’d all score goals with De Bruyne week in, week out for club. Foden is a moments player. Great players like Bellingham can play in any system. Again, Foden, overrated and is a moments player.

Cundy is a big Southgate fan the fool.

[@npscholes]

Foden is not the problem, it’s an England and Southgate problem. If he was South American , Italian , French or Portuguese or Spanish, he would be admired for his style of play. Remember what England did to Scholes

[@brettworrallo395]

Goldstein clueless

[@terrencechristopher7031]

He,s just another bang average player, its quite obvious, he dose,nt have the City players around him, OVERRATED

[@Escape2FreedomAsap]

Exactly

So many bot comments. How soon till every video is like this.

[@Haytch-hw2hu]

Harry is the problem

Even though it’s just one game, Phil Foden’s performances for England can no longer be ignored. He is the only player who gets the most excuses for ghosting every time he plays for the national team and it makes you wonder why can’t he replicate his Manchester City form in an England shirt. How can such a talented player like him be a shadow of his former self when he plays for the national team even after being so good for his club on a consistent basis. Against Serbia, he had a very poor performance where he touched the ball so many times was involved in the game and didn’t have any sort of impact. He started on the left wing he drifted in field, too many times he was playing sideways passes playing it backwards and whenever he had the ball, he also lost possession a lot. It’s true that he plays his best football as a number 10 as he is more comfortable centrally behind the striker, he’s going to play out of position as long as Jude Bellingham is on that team and even if Foden will play in midfield alongside Bellingham, who’s going to be their left winger. Due to the fact that they didn’t pick Marcus Rashford or Jack Grealish, their only natural left winger is Anthony Gordon and starting him could be a solution and then you move Foden as a number 10 and even if Bellingham plays as a deep lying midfielder next to Rice, he can still impact the game and make deep runs into the box. We have to agree that he has underperformed for England and they don’t really know what to do with him while also acknowledging the fact that we can’t keep making excuses that “he’s playing out of position” when at Man City Pep has played him as a winger at times and he’s able to have excellent output compared to when he plays for the national team where he doesn’t do much and this is a guy who was the best player in the premier league last season and he’s the most talented player in their squad and for club and country you have to adapt no matter what position you play. England needs more from him because if you don’t know where he should play, you can’t win the EUROs while carrying a passenger in the team and you might as well drop him if you aren’t sure about who you want to play on the left. Fitting a player of his caliber in the same team as Jude Bellingham Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka is easier said than done and hopefully England gets a better version of Foden.

Only England can have one of the single most talented players in the game….and it be a problem. We are laughable when you really analyse it Too rigid in our thinking, too rigid in our philosophy. Find a way to make it work.

[@Escape2FreedomAsap]

Foden needs to be benched…name a good game he’s had out the 35 he played…? Forget about the Andorra 🇦🇩 game and he’s literally 💩

[@Sven78872]

@@Escape2FreedomAsap name a game for england he has played without Southgate being manager. There might be a common theme with your answer. Southgate admitted he didn't see him as a 10....he stubbornly won't play him there as it contradicts his ludicrous comment. He will play in nets before he plays in the 10 position under Southgate. Get the bluffer out....not Foden

[@First-h3o]

Your problem is that you want to accommodate your snow white flakes Foden and Kane at all costs. Kane could have come off and Foden is average outside a Pep's City team!

[@bernardobiechina506]

Absolutely spot on. It's clear as day but many people don't want to say it.

[@dannysmith2040]

Moyes did the same all season late negative subs after 70mins playing players out position and they stuck up for him ! Hypocrites and full of shite

[@markLawley-g8u]

Cundy is clueless and defends Wokegate to the death.

[@kennydeary957]

Foden was so poor 😡

[@petuser1]

totally agree with these guys,, let Gordon run at them and put Foden in the middle,, i would have taken Saka off aswell and put Palmer on the right,, let the Chelsea lad have a go and Cole and Phil know each others game inside out, you could argue to put Mainoo in there to win the ball and pass the ball but Gareth loves Gallaghar so he can do that aswell

[@southwestslots]

Foden just hasn't performed in an england shirt, give somebody else a chance.

[@sonofabooyahsownyoutubeacc7607]

Foden only plays world class for pep guardiola

[@kelnash4533]

Rubbish...Foden is misplacing passes its not even about position... can't even do the simple things🤦🏽‍♂️
