England, Foden, Scholes and a lesson from history.
Plus Feyenoord fans' message so important for Slot and Liverpool.
England head to the European Championships in Germany this summer with a shot at glory because of their phenomenal creative and attacking threat. The back-four remains a concern but the front six stirs real hope. Gareth Southgate today reveals his “training” squad for the Euros, a 30+ group whittled down to 26 by June 7, and he will doubtless be asked as to where he sees Phil Foden’s best position.
Manchester City fans can instantly provide the answer – Foden is best as a No 10. Guaranteed starters in Southgate’s front six are Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka. Foden, the Footballer of the Year, has to start, too. That leaves him either on the left or as a 10 with Bellingham and then a natural left-sided winger like Anthony Gordon out wide. Imagine an England front six of: Rice; Foden, Bellingham; Gordon, Kane, Saka. Exciting, but balanced?
