Utter nonsense my good friend. Foden was playing the pivot with Declan Rice even if the formation drafted had him appear advanced. That is why it is good to watch games rather than rely on data that always needs some context. Foden was assigned to mark Rodri. Who gives a 10 that type of assignment? Yea, because he was not a 10. Foden played 10 twice. A double 10 against Switzerland and the more advanced 10 against Netherlands.

In the second half against Spain, Foden moved back to LM as Southgate changed formation again. When he took Mainoo off, it was for Palmer. How can you claim Jude was playing Mainoo's position when he is in the box to receive Saka's pass with Watkins in the penalty area as well and Foden on the left. Why do you think Palmer was in that position to kick the ball? Are you claiming Mainoo would have been in that position where Jude was if he was still playing?

You people should be watching the games. Stop relying on isolated data that you cannot interpret.

Bro your football knowledge is wack. The fact that Jude took Maino’s place doesn’t stop him from going forward when they are on counter attack. Palmer started the play by passing to Saka and then Bellingham had to run with them since he is good in that type of advantage. Foden was lost as usual. Spain possessed ball better most times so it is common sense to see England players in their half and not just Foden. Foden was offensively clueless is the point here, everyone saw that except you.

They did not win without him. You're yet to see if they'll win with him. Ronaldo was in Brazil's worldcup squad in 1994 but nobody attributes the trophy to him. Foden didn't have an important role.

No Palmer was brought on as an impact player, so England were reacting when he came on which means they were being motivated to attack. They started many games defending.

Jude did not play well. You are either excited by the stats or the hype around the stats. If you believe he played well it is your cup of tea. He did not. The majority agree.

Foden has being playing below par for England since he debut, he didn’t deserve to start ahead of Palmer in the just concluded euro it South Gate knew what he was doing. Argentine coach Benched Martinez for Alvarez in 2022 wc due to poor performance, he didn’t look at his club’s form before doing that. I repeat no sensible coach bench an X factor player like Palmer for underperforming Foden, most media personality and fans massively faulted this, one of the reason he quit his job because the criticism was too much for him. He tried by reaching the final according to England’s standard but that act alone looked like it was purposely being done because it was too obvious Foden was contributing little to nothing in the offensive phase. With Palmer, Kane won’t see the need to falling deep into the midfield all the time. England mostly dominated possession in their games but no attacking bite so it is the Job of the coach to play your best at the time like the way Argentine coach did it with Martinez and Alvarez. Same Palmer that played 43 games for Chelsea last season with 30 plus goals and assist deserve to start, he is not 16 but 22. Yamal, a 17 year old started all games for Spain. It’s all about talent, impact and effectiveness. Foden was supposed to benched so as to see the game from bench which would’ve also help him because he always look lost while playing for England which make him a system player tailor made by pep’s tactics.

Ballzproblem2:
Chelsea wants a "ball playing" gk,Petro doesn't fit this profile, Sanchez will likely be back up gk.

Petrovic is rated, forget news outlet. If anything it is Sanchez that will be sold because he is full of errors.

Ballzproblem2:
Chelsea wants to sign new keeper, petrovic will likely leave.

I tire for my club

Why would be leave when he was bought as back up if not for Sanchez’s inability.

Blah Blah.

Foden won't take Penalties with Haaland in the team. Same would be the case had Haaland been at Chelsea.
Airhead.

Foden is bad at penalty. He is a system player who might grow and learn how to play without depending on individual talent like Rodri, KDB and Halaand. Palmer was better than Foden last season but the later won epl best because city won the league. If I’m lying go to epl site count how many number of man of the match Foden won for city, Halaand had more number of man of the match than him even when he played less games due to injury.

liveLongNprospa:
Not only did Bellingham make UCL team of the season, he ended the campaign with 5 assists making him the 2nd highest assist provider behind vini who had 6.

Also jude Bellingham scored 4 goals too.

Okay

airmark:
Raumdeuter, A40 and Timbros, come and bow to your boss.

No Bellingham in all of this. Did Bellingham make ucl team of the season too? Yet people want him to win ballon d or.

We should sign this guy and sell Sterling. He should come and be collecting Sterling’s weekly wage or 250k.

Jodera:
Did you watch arsenal this just concluded season to arrive at this conclusion?

You don't think what you watched in Euros is Southgate instruction to his dm since Southgate himself is averse to risk?

Rice mostly good at carrying the ball at Arsenal. Southgate instructed him to mostly sit in this tournament to protect the back 4. Foden mostly operate in final third at man city because Rodri and KDB already doing the forward passes. Foden should’ve been coming from the bench if South Gate understand football. Palmer from RW would’ve suited the team more than Foden since he got that one time passes in him, Maino rice and bellingham as the midfielders. With Palmer, Kane could’ve see the need to stay upfront. But then again, Epl player of the season have to be justified by continue playing Foden even when he has being below par for England since his debut.

Jodera:
Declan Rice that's a dm is one of the reasons a Lw in Foden was not good in this tournament??


Lmaoo, wetin Agenda no go see?

Rice doesn’t have progressive passes in him like that, but that’s not an excuse for Foden, I’m just saying

Android17:
I mean, he plays with intelligent players who know where to give him the ball to maximize his output. There is nobody in the England National team that is excellent at half-turns and receiving the ball in tight spaces but he was setting screens for Declan Rice to pass the ball back to Mainoo and Stones - then you turn around and blame Foden for not creating?

I will still blame him because he supposed to know the two teams are different or he is just a system player. A good player shines at any condition. He was passing backward too. South supposed to bench him for Palmer who can play in any condition.

Capaldi:
From all Maresca scouting report I have seen he is just another Pep copycat. Hopefully he is not the boring version like Enrique. I don't have time for pointless and boring possession football.

He is Italian, an upgraded Sarri.

Capaldi:
Euros proved what I already knew about Declan Rice. We dodged a bullet.

He was one of the reason Foden was not good. Foden rely too much on pep’ system and Rodri.

Sportsweb:
You never begin cry. Jude Bellingham is winning it

Euro nations cup>>Ucl
Epl=la liga
Rodri’s impact for city and Spain>>Bellingham’s impact for England and Real Madrid.

Simple mathematics, Rodri is your next ballon d or holder.

airmark:
Raumdeuter has corrupted many sane but fragile minds.

He forgot that the same Palmer scored in Man City's Uefa super cup final victory.

I just tire. His disciples are looking clueless day after day.

Jodera:
It seems Palmer is the jinx Lord after all

COLE PALMER Scored the last GOAL that took CHELSEA to CARABAO CUP.... CHELSEA Lost in the CARABAO CUP Final.🙄

COLE PALMER late Goal against MANCHESTER UNITED took CHELSEA to EUROPA LEAGUE.....at the end of the Season CHELSEA Lose EUROPA LEAGUE Spot.🤦

COLE PALMER Scored against SPAIN in the Final.... ENGLAND went ahead to lose the Final.✍️

When you guys are chasing something and COLE PALMER Scores.. just know you are losing🙅.


HARRY KANE and COLE PALMER have Scored 74 Goals for CLUB & COUNTRY without winning any Trophy.

⛳ KANE & PALMER are like 6&9..... even if you turn it upside down it will still be the same 😂😂😂🤣

No be me Tok am oo 😂😂😂😂😂

How can someone scoring in all of this be a jinx lord. Bia wenewanyo.

Jodera:
It was Mou that broke that trend not your Idolo.

Tell me where Madrid ended in 2009/10 UCL?

Leave am, he think he is talking kids.

Excallibur:
Back to back 3peat kings

This Messi is really blessed and ordained. I remember when i was wishing he was from Spain.

bisqit:
Take away goals goals goals, ronaldo is average. Football is beyond finding the back of the net. It’s a collective sport

Sure. If we are to be gloating about goals Bican should be celebrated everyday because he was one time highest goal scorer in football. Impact on a team to success is what counts and not scoring when bale or Ramos have equalized and put the team ahead in crucial games.

bisqit:
Did you watch Pele play before ranking?

By calculation Pele ought to have 7 ballon d or. Ronaldo c is not close to Pele or maradona in terms of talent and impact to teams, he just stat pad in either games already won or against low teams in qualifiers and friendlies. When compared to these three he was overhyped by English media because he played for Man U and then Real Madrid, another pr team. He had no international MVP award. C Ronaldo Olympic outing for Portugal was a poor same in World Cup, his euro outing was average at best so he is nowhere near GOAT debate. He is in the league of platini, don’t let media fool you. Tomorrow now if Bellingham win ballon d or will you put him close to iniesta or Xavi because of pr aware they are trying to give him.

Omoluabi16:
okay. Who do you think should win this ballon'dor?

Rodri hands down.

Rodri should be given this ballon d or.

Sportsweb:
What metrics did you used to rate this,or it was all complied and manufactured from your anus?

Ronaldo is in the company of platini. Messi Pele and maradona in that order are the best player of all time.

Sportsweb:
I thought they said Messi is fulfilled ans doesn't cry?

This is exactly Ronaldo in 2016. Got injured and watched from the bench as Eder wins it for Portugal.

Same script tonight.

Enzo Fernandez international cabinet well stacked RN

The difference is that Messi scored in World Cup final, has being two times MVP in World Cup and copa America, assisted di maria in Olympics final and was the best player too. Best player in under 20 wc also. Ronaldo don’t have any of this to his name for Portugal. B Silva was the best player in euro nations league.

afrodoc2:
I don't hate England as a country. I even like some of the players (Mainoo, Palmer, Saka etc). But just cos of the insufferable fans long may their woes continue.

Nothing is coming home. EVER.

Same here but I hate their sentiment and bias towards some club and players which will always deny them of winning trophies.

obonujoker:

What a TRASH international career playing for an Argentina ATTACKING SUPERTEAM

How many mvps does he have?

Griffon:

All these mumu Man U ex player thinking they are all that during their playing days when they were being deceived by their media that make them turn nuisance as pundit.

TLona1:
He thought he won the GOAT debate😭😭😂😂

Same tournament B Silva was the best player of the tournament.

patrickmuf:
Messi sits in the company of Pele and Maradona.

Cr7 is in company of Eto'o, Ibra, Luiz Suarez...

Levels to this thing...

True. We can not use stat padding in friendlies and qualifiers against small countries to put you in goat debate.

nihilistjnr:
This is really what the pucci really looks like. Crying like a little girl after having to the bailed out from the bench to win the inter-aradugbo cup.

Could never be my GOAT.

Tears of joy. Your goat won his only European trophy with the help of Eder. Below is tears of pain right from 2004 till now.

drisham:
Walai you are right 😂😭

Everything is sentiment to them so they don’t think straight when analyzing players. I was the first person that said Maino remind me of young Seedoff, although he wasn’t at his best yesterday but he shielded the midfield better than Bellingham. I don’t use sentiment but eye test. Seedoff himself just said Maino remind him of his young self. I’ve being watching football keenly from late 90s so I know quality when I see one. Palmer is an X factor player and any coach that know what he is doing can never bench such player, it’s just like Spanish coach benching Yamal for Joselu just because the later plays for Real Madrid and won ucl, this is the sentiment England use in selecting players that’s why they can never win anything until they change.

airmark:
When Hensben analysed Foden and Palmer and preferred Palmer, they called him Hensbrain. Now, we know those who have hen's brain on the issue.

Dont mind them. Foden that I do watch for city, he doesn’t influence anything, he just ride on Rodri, B Silva, KdB and Halaand’s play. Palmer is an X factor player, no coach with his right senses bench that type of player.
