Burnwinter so I think Foden is elite at two things. Off the ball movement and striking.
The reason I don’t think these translate well to England is City’s players spend hours practising their movement and possession. Southgate doesn’t have that luxury. That also means he won’t create as many opportunities for Foden to shoot in good positions.

    Claudius I mean these are friendlies so they aren't playing some of the main guys at the moment I'm sure Bellingham and Saka will be involved.

      saw Darren Lewis call the English media out for this. Also a ton of people blaming Mainoo for the goal.

      Geez I wonder why...

        they had options, they chose to sign up for this racist shit for commercial reasons. nigeria would love saka (they still do even though he rejected them). mainoo could be playing for ghana.

        stop rewarding racist people with your talents.

          Agree with Ian Wright

          A bit off topic but I do hate this phrase "gas lit" which seems to have crept into everyday conversations.

            Out of curiosity, why? I think it's one of the better idioms to establish itself in the internet age. Saw the play as a teenager and it really made an impact.

                I don't really have a particular reason I just find it annoying...

                    Seen Jacob Steinberg said accusations of him being over harsh on Mainoo were anti-Semitic and that he's a proud Zionist. Lead to people digging up some disgusting comments from him on social media from before he was at the Guardian.

                      FEBravo I enjoyed the paradox of it, never mind its limited appeal to the OMITT bleachers 😆

                        beautiful. i absolute love that rationale. i can be as racist as i want to be because i'm jewish and any criticism of me as a jew is anti-semitic ... even though technically i'm not an actual semite.

                          Burnwinter JazzG You're crazy, Jazz. Gaslighting is a perfectly useful word, your reaction is irrational.

                          Now just hang on a damn minute, I will not let you Gas.........oh!

                            Zirkzee and Frenkie de Jong out of the Euro, big hit for them. Maatsen called up instead
                            and now Koopmeiners is ruled out as well. Jesus

                            Lewandowski is out against the Netherlands and a doubt against Austria now
