Holloway Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Just now, Rod said: He was pretty average. However, he is an excellent footballer. So you should be asking yourself why is this excellent footballer so average in this England team. I know why but I'm not going to tell ya! 🤔 World class players tend to rise above the chaff and do something special in pedestrian encounters like this. Foden isn't anywhere near world class for me. If you think he had an 'average'game, I'd suggest you read through the thread, he was poor/ anonymous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Grid Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Foden is elite when he plays with Rodri...England don't have Rodri. Just poor from Southgate to not get this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Didn't like trent in midfield, seems a bit lost. Didn't like harry Kane when out of possession, both wingers and jude were zipping around trying to pressure and kane was always walking, really annoying. On the ball was fine... Defence really unsure trying to pass the ball out. In general we look scarednto play fast zipping passes, everything had to be super secure and we seemed predictable. 6/10 performance for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coming home m................m If we did somehow win the whole thing through scrappy 1-0 wins (extremely unlikely), I doubt you'd be complaining that we played shit... ☺️ Edit:And I didn't say its coming home. I said 3 points. Clean sheet. Job done. Which it was. Never claimed it was a good job... Edited June 16 by Joe1984 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play either Bellingham or Foden as a ten and have the other on the bench with an actual left forward on the pitch instead. The balance of the team was all wrong tonight. Thing is though he should be able to at least contribute, even if it isn't ideal. We've seen him do much better for Man City on that side. Can he be that good if playing in that position renders him completely ineffective? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Foden is an amazing player. He’s not overrated. He should be in the team, he just shouldn’t be on the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Foden should be used as a Bellingham replacement from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Is it fair to say that trying to make Trent work right now is similar to what it would have been like trying to make a young Beckham work if the dominant formation in the 90s was 433 based? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't get into games looks like a competition winner out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting two of Rice and Bellingham, Foden in the 10, Gordon on the left. If it doesn't work, drop Foden for Gordon, play Rice and Gallagher as the two and Bellingham in the 10.

Armchair Pundit Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Fuck me, what a frustrating game that was - bloody Southgate's wank tactics, the mind boggles. We don't press enough, we're not aggressive enough, so infuriating to watch, we were lucky not to concede after sitting back so much, you wouldn't see any other 'big' team do it. We just don't have a killer instinct. On top of that, the insistence of playing Foden, he spent more time running around like a headless chicken and moving into the centre when he should be providing an outlet on the left. There's no place for him in the set up we played, should have been Olise or Gordon on the left. Fuck Gareth Southgate, utter dogshit manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Trippier was great defensively (as were all the defenders) but that left side is just too toothless at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
