Foden has scored seven Premier League goals in 11 starts this season and has become a major player under Pep Guardiola at the reigning champions, though Southgate has opted ot use Mason Mount behind Harry Kane, with Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling flanking the duo.
After a slow first half that finished goalless between England and the USA, Neville called on Southgate to use Foden. “I think Foden, and I know he’s not playing but for Phil Foden not to be playing in the England starting XI is a real shame,” Neville told ITV. “He is a massive talent, I think he’s our best player, our best talent by a mile in this country and he should be playing in that team.
“We had far too many passes at the back, didn’t get to midfield. Their midfield three have made ours looksluggish, we spoke about [Jude] Bellingham before the game, Mount, they put a group of passes together and if you look at [Harry] Maguire on this [Weston McKennie chance], he’s really poor on this one, you’ve got to get that near post.
