He’s our most dangerous player. Should start every important game. Needs to be made captain next season and the future of the club is him.

I'm not sure on the captaincy shouts. Potentially in a few years but I wouldn't say he's nearly ready for that sort of role when we have Dias.

Dias is the glue and Foden doesn’t need that added pressure, however, he definitely should be moulded into it in the gerrard way... to have him lifting trophies as one of our own is a thing we couldn’t of envisaged pre pep... that said, Gandalf is surely here for the best part of his career and a better leader we couldn’t ask for!
 
Give it a year or two and he’ll be recognised as the best in the world. Pep’s got to play him every game now, he’s the only attacker that shouldn’t be rotated, the rest can fight it out for the other two positions. He is fucking magic and needs to be completely unleashed. He’ll win us every trophy there is to win and probably win England the World Cup while he’s at it. Sit back and enjoy the ride folks. We’ve spent over a billion and a kid from Stockport that’s risen through the ranks is gonna be the best of the lot. Football is a funny game!

I wonder if anyone in the media will admit that they got it well and truly wrong regarding Foden, his development and what Pep was doing with him folding him into the team. It was shameful the stick Pep and City got, and even today I saw someone on the comments in The Guardian talking about him being a "benchwarmer".

He has served one of the most intensive apprenticeships in modern football, having played virtually every position across the front five, learned the nuances of positional play, and he is getting better and better each week he plays now. Playing the trigger in the press last week, followed on the left this week, shows that development, it really is something to see. This is why Grealish came to us, and what he has having to learn now. Foden is five years younger.

He's confident enough to give Kev a bollocking when he isn't making the run he should be. Compare and contrast to Sancho, who is another great talent, but already looks limited. Whenever Pep leaves, we'll have him to thank for the next decade for what he's done for Phil.

Setting aside the fact he’s a Blue, he’s a natural talent who would have emerged and then shone with any of our rival clubs.
 
Wasn’t going to watch tonight, but now it looks like Phil is playing in the middle I can’t wait
 
Think he was playing at DCM at times during that half. What a player ;)

Brilliant. Will be underrated of course by the wider football world but who cares. Fantastic.

He's just been voted onto a 30 man shortlist for the best player in the world by a worldwide panel of a few hundred journalists, coaches and players.

It's a couple of months since he was voted best young player in the country by both the PFA and Premier League, and got nominated for the PFA Player of the year award.

He was named in the UEFA Champions League squad of the year for last season.


So can we drop the persecution complex for a bit? He gets loads of recognition and everyone thinks he's incredible.
