For the hype he gets Foden barely performs. People have him a nailed on starter where he shouldn't be and even Gareth has dropped a few times

Plenty of players don't perform for England that's has always been the case. John Barnes use to get shyt for it all the time. Just because he didn't score the Brasil goal every match. He wasnt used the same for England as he was for Liverpool. Where Dalglish had him playing in the half space instead of as any out and out winger like England did. Did Scholes perform for England under Sven? Prior to Sven Scholes scored 10 goals with Sven only scored 4 and 3 of those were in Sven first year.

When Foden joins up with England it's the only time he played poverty pragmatic football in his life. What Waistcoat and Steve Holland are trying to get the England's players to do Foden learnt all that shyt when he was 17.

Bread and Circus, He is first one to insult and attack rivals. Don't be a f#ggot, football is for men.

Football will never change :dead:

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is how most footballers feel behind closed doors.

Gabi is getting a two year ban for “allegedly” trying to fraud a doping test. I think I’m taking a break from football for a while.


damn he's still only 27, thought he was like 34 by now :dead:
Crazy to think about when Mexicans live and breathe soccer and until 2006ish soccer was viewed as a girls sport in America.

Yes different systems but to be honest its partly because he just doesn't perform either because how come Saka, Rashford, Sterling, Sancho, Grealish have had good games but he hasn't. Even the much maligned Maguire has had good games.

Not saying his a bad player but on the international stage he hasn't cut it yet

Foden played decent in the World Cup and thebgame where he scored 2 goals vs Iceland. That's in competitive matches. He played well vs Scotland which everyone got overshadowed by Bellingham. The only other player who got big praise in that match was Kalvin Phillips and that's because everyone forgot he was still alive.

All those players you've mentioned either are counter attacking/transitional players or have played that style of football in their careers. Fodens career coaches have been Pep and Waistcoat. One extreme to the other
Foden being coached by Waistcoat is like telling Lewis Hamilton to go qualify for the F1 British Grand prix with a unicycle.

If Sterling can stink it up for England for 5 years before coming good than so can Foden. :mjgrin:
