Let them doubt Phil Foden all they want. He thrives under the pressure and proves them all wrong.

Being English and a football supporter seems exhausting.
I mean, it’s not the best game for him.
Dunno whether it’s about his position, mentality, or manager.
So I wish he could shine in tourney.
Could well be on the manager but as of yet, for England he hasn’t proven anyone wrong.
I hope very much that he does though !
Most people don’t doubt that Foden is an incredibly talented player.
However, he simply hasn’t performed consistently enough for England IMO.
Personally, I don’t see where he fits in the starting 11, as a 10 I think Bellingham offers more than Foden, Saka offers width on the right and we have seen Foden doesn’t work on the left.
As much as I love the world cup and euros, these 6-10 game internarional tournaments and the expectations from players are blown way out of proportion because it’s all about pRiDe oF tHe NaTiOn. I can’t care less if Kane, Foden and Saka pull a stinker and they all score a total of 4 goals between them and England fails to qualify beyond the group stage.
It’s a bunch of players who barely play together and understand each other’s movement and styles. What do they all expect? Especially with Southgate as the boss? Foden and Saka are still the best players in Prem, Kane still one of the best forwards, regardless of the results of the Euros.
Jude, on the other hand, can go fck himself with that terrible vision lol.
No one’s doubting Foden’s ability as a 10. He was lost on the left yesterday, kept sliding into Bellingham’s central space, and England thus had no width. Saying that is not inconsistent with thinking Foden’s a great footballer.
He was very quiet the first half and didn’t score, force any great saves, or play any balls to create good chances.
I thought Foden really came into the match toward the end and was one of the few players who still wanted the ball and could relieve some pressure when Serbia was on top.
