DANNY MURPHY: Maddison must fight with Foden for England's No 10 role

I felt sympathy for James Maddison being shoehorned on to the left-hand side when he's better suited as a No 10.

Getting into this team is tough but after Saturday night's experiment, the reality is he's going to either have a good international career centrally, or not at all.

I can't see Gareth Southgate playing both him and Phil Foden in the same team but I would like to see them fight it out for one creative spot in a more advanced position than Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham.

That's the way I think England will carry enough attacking threat to win a major tournament. It's a brave way to play against top opposition but it's the best way if you want to lift a trophy.

We saw in Wroclaw that operating from a wider area doesn't suit Maddison's undoubted attributes, even if Gareth Southgate allowed him some freedom to roam.

But that freedom can create a problem.

When Maddison drifted inside, England had defensive issues. Ukraine's goal came from a two v one against Ben Chilwell down Maddison's side.

You could be harsh and say Maddison should be more disciplined.

But he's been one of the stand-out players at Spurs by being allowed to use his technical strengths.

Being asked to do a different job when he's not a natural athlete with the physical power to track full-backs is slightly unfair when others like Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford can do it better.

Foden is dynamic over short distances but is similar to Maddison in being better suited to helping the team in the middle, opening up defences with either a dribble or a pass.

At City, Foden can be effective playing wide as Pep Guardiola's team dominate possession. But for England, both he and Maddison need to be No 10s.

I did feel for Maddison a bit on Saturday because when Foden
