Lee Carsley, England’s interim manager, plans to start Phil Foden in a deeper midfield position against Greece in the UEFA Nations League. Foden has struggled to perform for England in the past, but Carsley aims to utilize his talents effectively. Carsley wants to ensure that Foden can replicate his club-level performances for the national team by playing him in a central role and adjusting tactics accordingly. If Foden is provided with a role that suits him well, he will be expected to step up and deliver for England, especially alongside other talented players like Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka.
Carsley’s approach with Foden mirrors his role at Manchester City, where he is used as a midfielder when in possession and a winger without the ball. This contrasts with Gareth Southgate’s past approach of using Foden as a touchline winger, which did not maximize his potential. If Carsley can get the best out of Foden and help him gel with England’s other star players, it will be interesting to see how he performs in the upcoming matches. The responsibility will be on Foden to shine for England under Carsley’s guidance.
