Michael Owen blunt message to Gareth Southgate following goalless World Cup draw vs USA

England have played a goalless draw against the USA on their second matchday of Word Cup 2022 in Qatar.

Although both sides had their moments of dominance in the second half, there was only one major opportunity and only four shots on target overall.

But the most disappointing thing for English fans was Gareth Southgate's decision of keeping their 'most talented player', Phill Foded, on the bench.

The 22-year-old has been involved in ten goals contributions in his 14 appearances for Manchester City in the Premier League this season and beyond any doubt is the best English player so far in 2022/23.

Writing on his Twitter account, Michael Owen was 'astonished' by the manager's decision of chasing a goal but leaving City's star sitting for 95 minutes.

"Astonished that we’ve used 14 players so far yet our most talented player is still sat on the bench." stated the Liverpool legend.
