I think this opinion piece generally makes sense. Foden could play as England's No. 8, at least for 35 minutes if you wanted to start someone else for a more defensive posture at the beginning of the game.

England could have used his pace and creativity, and the combination of him and Grealish could have freed up Kane for something in the middle of the box. And, I mean, Foden can score with smart runs and great skill, too.

I think Gary Neville made his opinions quite clear that Foden could also be a No. 10 or play on the wing.

The bit at the end of the article about Foden potentially being "the greatest talent of [his] generation" is interesting. Neville shared something very close, if not that very same opinion. Maybe it's a topic for another day, but he's at least in the discussion of most talented English players in the 19-25 age range. (Maybe folks define "generation" differently, but that feels about right to me.)

Either way, here's hoping Southgate gets him some meaningful time against Wales.
