TalkSPORT pundit Tony Cascarino believes England should drop Phil Foden in order to maximize the potential of Cole Palmer in the No.10 role. Cascarino argues that Palmer plays his best football in that position, and if he were to choose between the two players, he would go with Palmer as his first-choice No.10. However, Cascarino’s bias as a former Chelsea striker may influence his preference for Palmer over Foden.
The dilemma arises from the fact that Foden, Palmer, and Jude Bellingham all prefer playing as a No.10, making it challenging for interim head coach Lee Carsley to accommodate all three in the same team. Additionally, with reports suggesting that Pep Guardiola could potentially take over as England’s manager, it is expected that he would favor Foden over Palmer due to his high regard for the Manchester City midfielder. Guardiola’s potential appointment could further complicate the selection process for the No.10 role.
Despite the potential preference for Foden by Guardiola, it is clear that there are conflicting opinions on how to best utilize the talents of Foden and Palmer in the England setup. The decision ultimately lies with the interim head coach and potentially Guardiola if he takes over, as they navigate the challenge of selecting the most effective No.10 for the team.
