Manchester City’s Phil Foden is an ‘absolute genius’ and England boss Gareth Southgate needs to utilise him a lot more. That is the view of former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, speaking after the Three Lions’ shock defeat on Tuesday night.

Foden is definitely the real deal, with Gary Lineker once claiming last season he could even play for Liverpool. Continue reading
