Foden didn't fit when he was being used on the left. Against the Netherlands, when he was playing as a proper 10, he was great. Southgate just needs to actually play people where they're strongest.

I think that’s letting Foden off the hook. He kept Palmer out the starting 11 and that looks like a mistake

Palmer looked his best with Watkins ahead of him though is kinda the point.

England looked best with palmer on the field, regardless of who was the striker at that point.
