CRAIG HOPE: It was the face Thomas Tuchel twisted‚ as much as the words he spoke‚ that told you Phil Foden's World Cup hopes are disappearing into a hole as deep and dark as the one he inhabits every time he plays for England. False nine? False 10? It's all a false economy with the 25-year-old‚ because the cost to the team is simply too high. What a shame that is‚ for talent is not the issue here. Tuchel wishes it was different. He likes Foden. He wants him to be good. The problem‚ for England‚ is that he very rarely has been. With 48 caps as a weighty body of evidence‚ allowing him to raise his bat for an unremarkable half century this summer feels like a risk no longer worth taking.

JAMES SHARPE: English clubs faltering in Europe is hardly a new phenomenon. It was only a decade ago that the Premier League feared it might lose its fourth Champions League spot after no top-flight side reached the quarter-finals in two seasons out of three. Now‚ for the fourth year in a row‚ the Premier League will have two sides in the last eight. That doesn't sound too bad until you remember we had six clubs in the last 16 and four of them just crashed out at an aggregate score of 28-11. That Manchester City‚ Chelsea‚ Tottenham and Newcastle all suffered hefty defeats has led‚ inevitably‚ to instant head-scratching on what on earth went wrong.

CHRIS WHEELER: Michael Carrick has played down any talk of a fallout with Paul Scholes after his former Manchester United teammate appeared to criticise the team's performances for being 'c**p'. Scholes made the comment in a since deleted social media post after United lost for the first time in eight games under Carrick at Newcastle last time out. Scoles insists it was taken out of context and he has contacted Carrick to explain‚ while his fellow podcaster Nicky Butt has also defended him by saying Scholes has been left 'shocked and gutted' by the backlash.

Marseille's sporting director was reportedly keen to offload Mason Greenwood last summer amid concerns over his commitment and work rate‚ a new report has claimed. Former Man United forward Greenwood had finished as the joint top scorer in Ligue 1 last season alongside PSG's Ousmane Dembele‚ with the forwards netting 21 goals. This was aided by Greenwood's late season form‚ where he scored six goals in eight matches to help Marseille qualify for the Champions League.

Liam Rosenior is certain Chelsea will get to the bottom of how his starting line-up for Wednesday's Champions League collapse versus Paris Saint-Germain was leaked online eight hours before kick-off. Rosenior's XI was doing the rounds on social media after being reported by a French journalist‚ and that included confirming Filip Jorgensen would start in goal over Robert Sanchez in the last-16 first leg. That goalkeeping decision backfired on Rosenior as Jorgensen erroneously helped PSG take their 3-2 lead after 76 minutes by trying and failing to pass from the back. The Parisians then scored two additional goals to potentially kill the two-legged tie.
