England followers reckon Gareth Southgate not has an excuse to not play Phil Foden in midfield.
Foden was the star of the present for Manchester City away at Brentford on Monday (February 5) evening, netting a hat-trick of their 3-1 victory. He did so from the center of the park, slightly than on the wing the place he is performed for many of his profession.
Southgate beforehand defined he would not use him there as a result of Pep Guardiola would not – an argument that now appears considerably redundant. Taking to social media, one fan sarcastically requested: “Southgate still thinking Foden can’t play central?”

A second posted: “Remember when Southgate gave the ‘Pep doesn’t play him there’ as a reason for not playing Foden centrally for England. Well, Pep plays him there now and he’s easily been the best player in the league. The fully fit England midfield is Foden, Bellingham, Rice. Done.”
“If Southgate can’t utilise him in the summer he should never get another managerial job. Ridiculous player,” argued a 3rd, whereas a fourth commented: “I know Southgate is having the worst time of his life rn because his reason for playing Foden out wide or not at all is GONE.”

Foden, who has been competing with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka for a Three Lions beginning spot, made it clear he himself prefers taking part in extra centrally as he spoke to Sky Sports post-match.
