Roy Keane delivered a withering assessment of Phil Foden’s performance against Albania and believes it doesn’t bode well for his chances of starting for England under new boss Thomas Tuchel.
The Three Lions dispatched of Friday night’s opponents with relative ease as Myles Lewis-Skelly and Harry Kane both scored to kick off the World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win.
Tuchel was not impressed by the performances of his two wingers, Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford, telling ITV after the final whistle that neither player made an impact.
The German tactician said: “We lacked a bit of runs off the ball, so it was a bit too much passing and not enough dribbling. Not aggressive enough towards goal.
“They were very good in the last weeks in their clubs. We will keep encouraging them and give them a structure so they can show their potential.”
