However, England fans are miffed with Southgate for his decision to back the misfiring players. Although Alexander-Arnold received some sympathy for playing in an unnatural position in midfield, Foden was skinned for his blunt display on the left.
@FrankyRN51 was straightforward and wrote on X: "Foden needs [to be] dropped."
Another supporter, @LFC_Laith, added: "Good on Trent he deserves it but Foden stinks."
However, user @madm0007 disagreed and wrote: "Shock!! So obvious. TAA in, really?"
Alexander-Arnold had another sympathiser in @allstars_aag who wrote: "Why’s Trent included in this.. Starboy Phil dropped an absolute stinker."
Whereas, @thefmetzger blasted Foden and wrote: "Foden should be on the beach in Ibiza."
