Needs to get that ugly 47 number off his back next season, hope he’s got eyes on that 10.

If raz had missed those chances he would be savaged , shows the bias some have towards him

He missed one good chance where he struck the ball cleanly but didn’t pick out a corner. When he starts tripping over his own feet, miss controlling the ball consistently and missing numerous open nets then maybe we can compare the 2 in terms of criticism.

Bollocks. "Struck it cleanly" with no power? He cut across it and it went straight down the middle.
That is not hitting it cleanly.. Have you ever played football?

Maybe when Foden scores more than 30 goals in a season from the wing then we can compare the 2 in terms of criticism.

Look I love Foden but Kaz is not wrong. He gets so much more leniency than Jesus and Sterling.

You absolutely do comment on him. Whilst you're right about Sterling, your hypocrisy is blatant. And your comments about Jesus during a game are on par with the very worst that Sterling gets during a game.

After the Chelsea game you commented on him. After the Leeds game you commented on him. After the United game you commented on him. In fact, you only comment on him when it's to say how bad he is.

If you're going to come into Foden's thread and moan about the way Sterling gets criticism for missing chances, then I think my comment was absolutely fair game.

It's totally unfair that you try to get a dig in on Foden like you did.

Kaz took up her anti-Jesus stance very early on when he first arrived and displaced her pin up, same as with Bravo and Hart.

He’s a 20 year old coming off the back of his first full season. Bit of leniency is to be expected.

Thats a fair point. Although it's like his third full season. Ferrán Torres doesn't get the same leniency despite playing in a new country and league...

to be honest, out of our current forward line, there's only Foden and Torres I am confident of in front of goal.

Jesus was supposedly never gonna give up 33 (age of Christ when he died). Then he took the number 9.

I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

Personally I like him having the number 47. It's unique.

Glad I’m not the only one that likes uncommon numbers. Any time I see the number 39 I picture Anelka in the first advice City shirt.

People keep saying that City should be wary of Mbappe 2nd leg because he didn't have a great game and will be out for blood...

I say PSG should be wary of Foden. He knows he wasted some chances. Semi finals 2nd leg at the Etihad for a true blue? Foden will be a man possessed.

& has also came through the youth system

I know it’s been a long time since we had a youth player make it into the first team, but other than Richard Edgehill, I think all players who have come through the ranks have always been cut far more slack than those that didn’t.

Can’t stop thinking about if this had gone in.

Was thinking the exactly the same Ric.

Bit like his effort in the first half, straight down Naves throat.

If only, another day and both would be in the back of the net.

Hes ours though.

Did Phil lash out after going to ground ? I got the impression Marquinhos gave Phil some verbal as if he was trying to win a penalty, tosser if true.
