Phil Foden has said England\u2019s players must shoulder the blame for their shaky performances at Euro 2024, adding that he \u201cfeels sorry\u201d for manager Gareth Southgate.<\/p>\n
Southgate has been subject to heavy criticism from fans and media over his team selection and tactics throughout the tournament as England unconvincingly topped Group C before scraping through their round-of-16 clash against Slovakia in extra time.<\/p>\n
England face Switzerland in the quarterfinals tomorrow, and Foden said it is time for him and his teammates to step up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players have got to take some of the blame,\u201d Foden said. \u201cThere has to be some leaders to get together and find out a solution to why it is not working.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is only so much the manager can do. He sets you up in a system and tells you how to press. If it is not going like that, you have to [work it out].\u201d<\/p>\n
Foden said England\u2019s style of play has not matched up with their training instructions, adding Southgate has been telling them to press high up the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel sorry for Gareth,\u201d Foden added. \u201cIn training, he has been telling us to press and be high up on the pitch and I feel like sometimes, it has to come from the players.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to be leaders. In games we could have got together a little bit more and worked out a solution.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo yes, we have spoken about it more. If it happens again in a game, we can get together and find a solution, see where it is going wrong and adapt our press.\u201d<\/p>\n
