Finlay, York: Hi Phil, how important is it that Foden plays in
centre mid rather than on the wing, considering he has played there all season?
Hello, Finlay. This is going to be a really
thorny problem for Gareth Southgate to solve because Phil Foden’s best position
is clearly centrally but the team simply has to be, and will be, built around
Jude Bellingham with Harry Kane as the central striker.
Does Southgate find a way to get Foden in
alongside Bellingham in the centre or play him on the left with licence to roam
and come inside? One thing is for sure, Foden has to be in the team. In the
central position would be ideal but this would need some tactical tweaking by
Gareth Southgate and at the moment Bellingham looks to be the perfect number
10.
