0 shots, 0 chances created: Foden lost in an unfamiliar role

Starting in England’s match against Greece, Phil Foden failed to make an impact during his 72 minutes on the pitch.

Against Greece, coach Lee Carsley deployed a relatively unfamiliar formation. The 50-year-old did not use any real strikers, despite Dominic Solanke and Ollie Watkins appearing on the bench. Instead, he let Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka play at the same time.

Jude Bellingham made his mark by scoring the equalizer for England in a 1-1 draw. However, Phil Foden played poorly and was taken off the pitch in the 72nd minute. According to data from Squawka, the Man City player only touched the ball 32 times (twice within 16m50).

Notably, Phil Foden did not take any shots and did not create any good chances for his teammates. This season, the British media has repeatedly discussed Phil Foden’s ups and downs in form. However, coach Pep Guardiola actively defended his student.

According to coach Pep Guardiola, Phil Foden had a tiring EURO 2024 and needs time to recover. He also believes that the midfielder born in 2000 will soon find his true self. However, the 24-year-old star has not shown any signs of improvement.

In the Premier League, Phil Foden has not scored any goals or made any assists. If he does not regain his form soon, Phil Foden will likely lose his starting position to Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka or even Noni Madueke.
