Just win the game lads
Foden shouldn't be anywhere near this game.
It's going to be too physical for a young player and they would thrive in snide elbows and pushes etc.
Pep's done well to introduce Foden mainly at home.
It's a game for our experienced heads again.
3 at the back would be a good shout if Mendy was fit and we had 7 days to drill it.
I think it will be as you were.
Fairly certain this will be the tactical plan announced by Pep and the coaching staff at the customary pre-match video review meeting with the players.Just win the game lads
Phil Foden has already played in two 5-0 wins against Burnley, as well as 2 wins against Cardiff, Newport and Rotherham, not to mention Spurs, the most physical of the top 6 and looked fantastic every time.
Where has the idea he can't play against old school cloggers come from? If anything, Pep has been putting him in against the physical sides.
Yeah Europe almost cost them that this season, and they started the season badly. I do think many players there have contracts to play for and will want to up the Lancashire derby aspect of the game a bitThe only difference being that Burnley are now safe, minds turning to the beach and have no reason to scrap like dogs
