Phil Foden was anonymous during England's Euro 2024 opener against SerbiaPep Guardiola may have already provided the perfect solution to England’s glaring Phil Foden problem. England claimed all three points in their Euro 2024 Group C opener on Sunday, winning 1-0 courtesy of Jude Bellingham’s 13th-minute header. However, Guardiola, renowned for his tactical proficiency, revealed another way to utilise Foden back in 2023. In spite of never having played Foden there throughout his career, Guardiola suggested that the midfielder could thrive in a deeper role. It is worth noting that Guardiola’s insight may be more in relation to Foden’s future, once his pace declines and he has developed enough tactical knowledge to play deeper.
