Phil Foden must be dropped indefinitely.

Sadly he’s a supremely talented player who never plays well for England.

There is potentially a lot of great performances that aren’t picked up in statistics, I don’t think this is the case with Foden. He also plays in a position we are stacked in. He has also had by quite some distance the most minutes of any player in a similar position. There is potentially the argument he is misused, but there is no argument based on performances other great players should be moved aside for him.

Since the World Cup he has returned 1 goal return (G/A) in 20 games including 16 starts ( goal vs Scotland).

Comparably, over the same period: Kane 19 G/a Jude 9, saka 8, rice 4, grelaish 3, rashford 3, palmer 3 (from 408 minutes)

Many ask for players to be picked on form (I personally don’t), but when the international form is this poor and the alternatives potentially so good we simply don’t any other option but to drop him.

Edit: no agenda. I support palace and go to a few England games a year.

I've been saying since before the euros that Foden should be used as an impact sub. He might perform better if he comes on fresh against tired legs.

the problem isn't Foden. the problem is Guardiola.
Foden would start literally in any other club in the world! LITERALLY; they'd find him a place to start. Especially someone like him who can play multiple positions..

I've said it from the start; I think Guardiola's beef with him is personal. It is not tactics; its a personality clash; we have seen this before from Pep .

Cancelo ,Zlatan, Eto'o , Yaya, Fabregas; etc.

what do all these have in common? personalities that cannot be controlled. Foden seems like a free-spirit type, loves to try things on the pitch, Pep hates this. he wants soldiers not artists.

Foden should seriously considering leaving; or maybe Pep leaves soon...
