Yep, if will be Grealish, Sancho and Rashford in that order.

Maybe I'm tactically inept despite the football I've seen over years but how does foden not walk in that side? Attitude? Seems a very eager young man. Honestly questioning my ability to spot a good footballer when I see he's that far down for England.

Genuinely interested to opinions more informed than mine as to why he doesn't start.

Best English player since Gazza for me

I think Grealish has struggled as much as Foden has to impact the games he's played so far, like he does in the league. Rashford shouldn't be anywhere near this team over the other choices we have either.

I think they must be talking about the fans clamouring for Grealish and Sancho all the time. I don't think Southgate is the type to bow to the fans demands like that to his credit though.

Then why didn't he just run right into the outstretched leg instead of trying to avoid it? That would have been easier and there wouldn't have been any debate because the defender was trying to block his path anyway without playing for the ball... I don't think the pictures tell the story you are sorry, he didn't simulate, he tried to avoid the contact if anything which made it easier to knock him off balance. That's when he decided he's going to go down perhaps but he had already been impeded and refs don't give pens if you don't go down. I do agree there's too many soft penalties are given but it annoys me more that Sterling is held to a different standard and that our(City's) own fans are blind to it sometimes.
their number 5 cut across him from behind and their is a slight touch, with that and the other defender leaning on him its enough to put him off balance to make him go down, pen all day

Yeah, we've been through that a few pages back, I gave screenshots and everything. Hammoc gets that there was contact but he thinks he looked for it and there was some simulation. I just didn't see it like that. If he was looking for it, he could have made it a nailed on Pen IMO because the defender dangled that leg out for the taking.

Soft pen but not a dive for me. Suppose there's no point going over it too much, people rarely change their mind on these things, once they've made their mind up.

I've not seen Foden struggle?
 
Imagine watching that game and thinking lengland were great!
I've not seen fodeen struggle?
I said struggle to impact the game, like he does for City. The kind of impact Sterling is having for example, he's causing teams lots of problems. I'm not saying he's been poor but has his output been anywhere near his City form? Grealish is the same, not making that much happen.

So much more could be going through them if we were getting the best out of them. They have other gears to find is the general gist of it.

Output? By the time he came on we had stopped attacking and he still managed to look the most competent player on the pitch.
