See if same happens for saka
England need to switch sides imo going at rabiot and hernandez doesn't make a lot of sense yet they seem to be focused on the right

The ball is going to Saka repeatedly for a reason and yes he's not going to get inside or draw a foul every single time, but he has easily been the most threatening plan of attack for England in that half.
It's also not easy to be open for that transition ball, which is what Saka is doing well and Foden is struggling to do so far.
His team is going to him for a reason.
Hopefully they can spread it out to the left more for Foden too, but that's just a really weird take to suggest the guy getting the most receptions of the ball in offensive positions is playing awful.
I had to assume it was a club homerism take as it's just so objectively bad.
