English fans have voiced strong criticism of superstar Phil Foden for his poor performance in England’s quarter-final victory over Switzerland at Euro 2024.

Early this morning (7/7), English fans expressed their deep disappointment with Phil Foden’s performance in the Euro 2024 quarter-final match between England and Switzerland. The game ended in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes of intense play, with England securing a 5-3 victory in the penalty shootout to advance to the semi-finals.

Despite having an impressive season at Manchester City and being named the Premier League Player of the Year, Foden failed to replicate his club form for the national team. The young star has yet to score a goal in Euro 2024, leaving English fans frustrated.

Immediately after the match, many fans took to social media platform X to share their views on Foden’s performance, with harsh criticism prevailing. The majority of fans believe that Arsenal’s young player Bukayo Saka deserves a spot in the starting lineup over Foden. Here are some notable reactions:

“Foden’s medals should be given to Guardiola. Without him, Foden is useless. Try harder on your own, mate,” one fan wrote.

“Foden is playing in the number 10 position, and Saka still outperforms him on the right wing,” another user commented.

“People trying to compare Phil Foden to a young Wayne Rooney is truly disrespectful,” added another user.

These comments, as reported by Sportskeeda, suggest that the fans’ criticisms are not unfounded. During the 115 minutes against Switzerland, Phil Foden failed to score, make any assists, take a shot on target, create any chances, and lost possession 19 times. His performance was deemed poor and did not meet the expectations of both fans and the coaching staff.

England Hopes for Foden Breakthrough Against Switzerland

The criticism from fans towards Foden isn’t solely about his effectiveness in the match but also about the passion and fighting spirit he displayed on the pitch. With high expectations from fans and the pressure of playing for the national team, Foden needs to put in more effort to prove his worth and regain the fans’ trust.
