"I feel frustrated": Foden reflects on his underwhelming Euro 2024 performance

At Euro 2024, Premier League Player of the Season Phil Foden struggled to make an impact, failing to register a single goal or assist for England. According to Foden, the reason lay in playing out of position.

Details: Then-England manager Gareth Southgate faced criticism for deploying Foden as a left winger rather than in central midfield, where he excelled at club level. The Manchester City star admitted he was frustrated by this tactical decision.

Quote: “I feel frustrated I didn’t get out what I wanted to get out of it. The position I was put in on the left was very difficult to influence the game. Coming off last season being the best player in the Premier League and playing centre midfield, I do feel the position was quite difficult to get used to. I’m one who can play multiple positions and had to try to deal with it the best I could. I don’t feel like England ever got going or performed to our potential," Foden told MEN.

Reminder: Former Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is set to take charge of England for the upcoming international fixtures in March.
