England took a huge step towards qualifying for the knockout stages of the 2022 World Cup as they played out a goalle s draw with the United States.But, while the result moved the Three Caden Sterns Jersey Lions closer to their ultimate goal of glory in Qatar, the performance was not well received by supporters.A smattering of boos could be heard from the fans in the stands at Al Bayt Stadium after the final whistle, while those at home let their feelings be known on social media.MORE:So, what are the main criticisms aimed at Gareth Southgate and his team? Despite England struggling to unlock their opponents' defence acro s the 90 minutes, Phil Foden remained rooted to the bench.The Manchester City midfielder has proven time and again at club level that he is capable of cracking even the most obstinate backlines with a long-distance shot or a clever through-ball.And yet he is rarely trusted to do the same at international level, as demonstrated by his lack of involvement against the Natrez Patrick Jersey USA.Asked why Foden was not used, Southgate explained: "We didn't think it was a game for Phil in the middle... it was a game for experience in the middle area and then it was a decision on wide players."Marcus Rashford's speed is important and Jack Grealish could carry ball up the pitch."You see, my wife, she has been McTelvin Agim Jersey most vocal on the subject of Foden. "Where is Foden?" "When are you going to get Foden?" "Why aren't you getting Foden now?" And so on. David Mooney (@DavidMooney) MORE: England fans were initially delighted to hear that Harry Kane was fit enough to start against the United States despite having suffered an ankle injury in the win over Iran.But, after their No.9 fell some way short of his best on Friday evening, they might well ask whether it was a good idea for him to feature at all.Never one to sit out with a niggle or knock, Kane perhaps paid for his desire to get on the pitch at all costs here.If he still feeling the effects of that ankle problem, then it could even be best for him to sit out the Wales Rod Smith Jersey game in order to be fully fit for the knockout stages.I have not once been convinced that Harry Kane is fit tonight. Dan Hargraves (@DanJHargraves) MORE: Southgate did attempt to change things up in introducing Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson and Jack Grealish late in the second half.However, there was some surprise that none of those men came on as a replacement for the ineffective Mason Mount.He may be trusted by the England bo s, but Mount had struggled to make an impact either defensively or offensively against the Denver Broncos Kids Jersey United States.The Chelsea man should not be immune from the hook if things aren't going his way, as was the case in this game.For club and country, Mason Mount has been used too negatively by the coach for too long. Just employed as someone to pre s opponents in po se sion. Not saying he should have stayed on for the full 90 tonight, but hes better than that. Simon Johnson (@SJohnsonSport)
