47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[FantasyIreland]

Needs to be playing as often as possible,and preferably in his favoured position.

I've absolutely given up on Phil ever playing centrally under Pep. For years Pep has said it will happen and it still hasn't.

To think Pep watched KDB's performance today and thought, "Nah, Phil might turn the ball over and/or be too attacking" is hard to wrap my head around.

Yeah totally agree but then i wouldn’t ever sub KDB either when we need a goal

If KDB was even average on the day then I'd agree but he was arguably our worst player out there.

 

[thanatos]

Something happened behind closed doors to explain his lack of playing time? What do we think blues

As great as he is he has plenty of games where he constantly gives the ball away. Problem and blessing is on plenty of those days he can still come up with a brilliant goal or pass out of nowhere.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He’s got to be starting for us. He’s too good to leave out and always make a contribution

 

[Indaparkside]

His mum will be on peps case soon

 

[southamptonblue]

He's our best player on left of a front 3 and should be starting there, pretty simple really.

 

[skillman]

Has he shagged Pep’s missus or something?

 

[doobyedoobye]

Can't be impressing in training...which is not ideal..

 

[blue whippet]

I would have done today, he really wasn't at the races. He looked dead on his feet after 30 mins.

I wonder if it's as simple as Rashford's case of oversleeping over a team meeting. Pep obviously did not make the issues public unlike Ten Hag.

He is still coming on as sub so it probably can't be something THAT serious.

He called Philips fat so I don't think he'd shy away from calling out someone for over sleeping.

Honestly I'm puzzled he hasn't yet been given a fair shot in centre midfield, like try him there 2 or 3 games.

Fair that, but I do think if he truly offended Pep, he wouldn't even make the bench.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Don't understand the reasoning for him never playing in the middle, KDB can't play every game so who will he play there instead?

 

[schfc6]

Personally think he’s being used sparingly as he’s got a huge January.
He, Bernardo & Walker will likely have to play every single minute.

 

[Blu1]

The fact pep has stopped using him & lack of game time for England suggest something isn’t right.

Shame really but his form has fell of a cliff

Fell off a cliff? - that’s a huge exaggeration. He was playing brilliant then gradually stopped getting picked. He still always contributes.

Fell off a cliff suggests he’s been terrible, which he hasn’t. He was good for England aswell
