No we don’t mate
No we don't cole Palmers much better and fodens done nothing for england, there's lots of choices but foden isn't one of them for a while now
Finding a place for every talented player has been englands historical problem. England should pick the best team that collectively play well together rather than just chucking them altogether hoping they find a way. Your average man could pick the most talented starting x1, Tuchel job is to create a team.
what is this obsession with FODEN needing to be in the england team. his best place might be on the bench to come on and change a game rather than starting stupid media again
tell foden to maybe try to perform in an england shirt then maybe we can find a place for him
How many good games has Foden had for England?
Let alone great games.
He hasn’t performed at all so find a player who would perform, simples
It would be hard for Foden to fit into any other system thats not similar to Pep Guardiola
It was foden being in the starting line-up that cost England
It's one out of
Bellingham
Palmer
Foden
Rogers
No we don’t. We have to move on from Foden. It never worked. Perhaps in years to come he will find his place for England. But rn we have too many players who are far better for England than he’s ever been.
Cole Palmer has done more in an England shirt and he has barely played any games 😂😂
Glad to see the comments finally fed up of the medias forced hype job with this kid. He's never been as good as they claimed, nowhere near the talent level of his peers (Saka) or even his youngers (Palmer)
What's foden done to earn a start? He doesnt start over bellingham at the 10, he doesnt start over saka on the right, palmer has had more impact wherever he plays, rashford is a more threatening winger, foden is great as part of a cohesive midfield, but shoehorning him in just because will upset the midfield balance. Rice bellingham foden midfield sounds great but one of them is gonna have to be doing defensive work, which another player might be better at
Foden PR is crazy
Yeah because Foden has been so pivotal for England in the past. Bore off ffs
WHY?! Or he’ll release the photos he has of you?!
We NEED a winning team. Not individuals.
Same issues with past England teams… always trying to shoehorn players in the team. If other players are playing better, then he can stay on the bench, come in as a substitute, and then affect the game that way.
Football is not always won by the first 11 on the pitch, a healthy bench is very important
This English pundit won’t let the manager do his job. Who is Foden
Saka/ madueke in RW
Rashford / grealish/ Gordon in lw
Palmer as second striker
Foden Isn't better than saka Palmer to as rw/ second striker
No we don't! He's hopeless for England – all bluster that amounts to nothing. Tuchel knows what he's doing.
No we dont
No we don’t – the press are full of crap. We need to build a team that everyone commits to – not the other way round
He doesn't play well for england in tournaments, are we going to just keep playing him in tournaments anyway, we did 8 tournaments with Rooney having a bad last 7 and didn't learn
Why? He is useless in an England shirt. Some people work in the national team others dont, he doesnt and doesnt perform.
A peak Foden will be in the squad
Stones and Guehi looked great. Rice and Saka were good.
To bring a possible false 9 is smart I think. Just in case Kane breaks down. Watkins can play, but another option is clever.
Was foden played out of position for England? If so that might explain why he’s been useless
This is exactly the problem of England. Making spaces for those who don't deserve it. Gerrard was right about England NT.
I wouldn't even select him, he's at his best when no.10 and I'd say Jude, Palmer, Gibbs-White are all above him, don't need 4 no.10s.
Yall watched Gerrard and Lampard play together in the same 11 and win nothing. Now you want to do it again😂😂 unbelievable
Yeah,no! Why are England always having to fit players in? It’s not worked in the past and it’s not gonna work now
we are performing well without him and now all of a sudden we need to find a place for him? hes never performed for england even in his peak so why would we force him back into the squad….
I’ve seen enough of foden never seen him turn up
He doesn’t deserve it
Delusional English media, they have been destroying the English team for decades with their stupid rhetoric and sentiment. He is not good enough to be in the squad simple
No!!! Start a proper DM alongside Rice and Bellingham..He can come off the bench to help. Don't force players
Like most of the comments says no one person needs to be in the starting 11 or the squad earn ur place on performances not ur name
Rice and Anderson have established themselves as the pivots. There's room for one AM, so Foden is up against Bellingham, Palmer, Rogers etc. Bring him in the squad if you like, but he doesn't replace those three on form.
Not everywhere in the US has heat or lightning. All 4 cities in the Western region (Vancouver, Seattle San Francisco and Los Angeles) will not be hot. Nor will Toronto or Dallas, which has a retractable roof with climate control. It seems like England is making excuses before the WC has even started.
Foden has 45 caps and has scored 4 goals. Against Iceland, Scotland, and Wales.
And Ian Foster's opinion has little to no weight.
Crack on Thomas Tuchel.
Keep on doing the great job that you're doing YOUR way 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
