England v Denmark | Euro 2020 Semi Final

[LangleyBlue1970]

I was at wembley , he had a brilliant game on the right , looking at the respected talent of phil and saka there is no comparison , southgate is scared to have true creative players on

He’s that scared it’s got his side into the semi final, conceding 0, scoring 8. Southgate knows what he’s doing. There is the proof.

We should’ve loaned Foden to the rags just while the Euro’s are on.
Guaranteed to start every game : )

Yep. That's why Sancho is playing.

 

[Phil1]

Another talking absolute sense.

Yes because it’s nonsense thinking Foden is good enough to start. Proper out of the box.

 

[Cityfan1977]

Why? Foden isn’t a right sided player, Saka is. Foden shouldn’t even be in consideration for that right hand side, he should be on the left or in attacking mid, nowhere else.

Thats like saying Sterling isn't left sited player

 

[madloaf]

Yep. That's why Maguire is playing.

Fixed

 

[domalino]

The thing about Foden is that he did nothing wrong in them opening games and his replacements haven’t done any better.

Southgate can point to the results though and that’s all that matters.

It just happens sometimes. David Silva didn't do anything wrong against Switzerland in 2010, but Del Bosque stumbled across a winning formula and unfortunately that didn't include him.

Hopefully Foden gets on as a substitute and does something that lets him leapfrog the others again.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Yep. That's why Sancho is playing.

They don’t think do they? Like the ones saying he’s not picked because he wears the dirty blue shirt, despite 3 other blues starting every single game. They just don’t think it through.

 

[PragueBlue]

Foden deserves to start IMO but I'm pleased he isn't doing as less chance of him picking up an injury. I wish Stones, Sterling and Walker weren't starting either.

 

[robbieh]

Didn't Foden play really well against Villa in the cup final? On the right.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Think southgate realises that Phil is better on the left, but how can he drop Raz now, hopefully if we are comfortably ahead on say 60 mins he brings Phil on for Raz.....or if we are behind and desperate for a bit of magic.
The above is the only way I see Phil getting minutes in this tournament now, not complaining as such but it does seem like a talent overlooked, but still gonna get behind em, its about time it came home.

it will also confirm the Pep effect on the country hes working in.
