Well he never starts Foden every week Kane has been on a slump for a while now and Sterling was moved on
I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Foden has started all bar 1 game this season for Man City.

Edit. Just seen someone else has already replied.

Over the course of the last 3 seasons he hasn’t - I’m not even bothered about England but it seems everyone is buying into the premier league is the best league in the world mantra.

Southgate has the best record in tournaments for half a century hasn’t he? I doubt appointing Eddie Howe or Steve Cooper will elevate to world champions

But how old was Foden three years ago?

Foden is an excellent player. I really rate Reece James too.
He's very good for Chelsea but I've not been particularly impressed when he's played for England. 5 or 6 out of 10 player. Different side but I miss not having someone of the class of Ashley Cole, 8+ out of 10 virtual every game for England.

I'm hardly a fan of the Premier League but can appreciate players like Foden genuinely are special talents, if you think Guardiola and most of his contemporaries are wrong then fair enough

England more adventurous than other night (or at least trying to be)…but Germany comfortably the better side.

I haven’t said that but many special talents haven’t always been selected for the team anyway - the German ethos has been team - as indeed was England - Jimmy greaves was an amazing talent versus Geoff Hurst wasn’t he?

Have we had a shot yet though? All seems to get turgid and breakdown just outside their box

The original point was that Foden was world class

England have a load of great prospects but fuck all world class players.

Kane is the only you'd consider but his form is shite.

Foden is a great talent but is he any better than Gavi for instance? Time will tell but I don't think he's a generational player.

People make out that England have Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho up front the way people go on.

He isn't the finished article for sure and is having a poor game tonight, but I feel certain he's going to be a top England player in the years to come.
