He was appalling this evening. I'm not focusing on the missed pen, but his overall play was brainless. And as you suggest, his worst offences were failing to read the game and stalling his runs in at the back post.
Seems to have lost all confidence this season

...a sentence used for a lot of players who have worn our shirt in the last six months

Such a good player at Forest you have to wonder what's happening to him. It's like his time with Spurs drained him of all self confidence

Tuchel picks a huge squad with loads of forward players, then picks Foden as a false 9. <confused><doh>

Anyway, it was a pointless waste of 2 weeks at a crucial part of the club season given how many players withdrew from the squad. There was never a time when the likely starting XI at the WC played together. Bits and pieces teams featuring some players who may not even make the final squad seems futile.

I wrote elsewhere about being a Jonah...guess who was at Wembley last night!!! Thankfully the ticket was a freebie the game was terrible - Japan everything England aren't - Confident in their system, quick, incisive, well drilled, organised and deserved winners. Too many square pegs in round holes for England 3 number 10s and still no creativity.

I suspect Foden and Palmer won't get in now. Missed out in the last chance saloon. Probably had to give them a shot.

Both are drastically overrated. Foden particularly. Flat track bully in the PL with the quality City can surround him with.
Palmer arguably has the more potential but his mentality is so weak he could fit in at Spurs in a shot!! <laugh>
