He's certainly got me scratching my head.He's played Foden in every single England game he's been available for since Euro 2020 with the exception of the USA match in the world cup so I don't believe he's got any grudge against Foden, he's just scared of an attacking midfield and looking for increaisnlgy dumb ways to justirfy it.
The most in tactically aware person can see what waistcoat cannot see in front of his very eyes. He must have a degree in incompetence and our players would be best suited swerving a call up whilst he is still in charge. Apparently he has had to talk Kyle out of international retirement several times and the wanker holds a grudge against Phil and Jack I am sureI don't have a problem with him not playing people in a position they don't play regularly.
The big issue here is that Foden has been playing in the middle. Pep put him in the middle in the CL and FA Cup finals last year. He's playing in the middle this season, and been getting plenty of attention over it.
So what the fuck is he watching?
Imagine if England won the Euro's.The most in tactically aware person can see what waistcoat cannot see in front of his very eyes.

Like Saturday just a few minutes to try and influence the game is pointless when the likes of Mount Henderson and Rice start in front of him. We don’t need so many holding midfielder players against some of the dross we have played against in qualifying matches and pointless friendly gamesHe's played Foden in every single England game he's been available for since Euro 2020 with the exception of the USA match in the world cup so I don't believe he's got any grudge against Foden, he's just scared of an attacking midfield and looking for increaisnlgy dumb ways to justirfy it.
The **** barely played him on Saturday, in any position. Useless waistcoat Wanker
I couldn’t give a shit about England and cos I don’t like a lot of the arse licking of the cartel players I am generally not disappointed if they lose. However having said that I do want the City players to do ok and get treated fairly, ahem, Southgate, mediocrity incarnate, a journeyman centre half, publicly digging out one of Englands most talented and creative players, and a City player at that! Phil is going to face frustration at every turn with Southgate, trying to make his square peg fit the round hole he has been allocated. Walk away Phil, it’s just not worth the hassle.
Foden's used to playing 4d chess and Southgate's trying to get them all playing draughts. Yes he can move the way Southgate wants, but it's all just a huge waste of his talent. And the talent of some of the other players too.
Southgate says in the article that versus Newcastle he defended off the right and drifted inside which he has the license to do with England as well but I agree he played centrally in not only the most recent CL final but Pep trusted him in there in the first one as well.I don't have a problem with him not playing people in a position they don't play regularly.

I've a similar view of Southgate,he should have gone out on a high after euro 2020,when it became clear he wasn't going to cut it tactically.I didn't use to mind Southgate. Thought he was clearly out of his depth, but had done a reasonable enough job and seemed like a decent guy. Feels like we're making no progress though, and his decision to publicly question Foden again is just bizarre. Seems like he has a bit of a vindictive side towards certain players. We're not going to win anything with him in charge.
