47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

Love pep but that’s utter horse shit from pep Foden can do what Grealish does and with nobs on

agreed

Guaridiola explains selecting Grealish over Foden for Man City

Pep Guardiola addressed why Phil Foden has only started one of Manchester City's last six fixtures.

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Here Pep is saying why he choses Grealish over Foden on some occasions

He says Grealish has the extra pass while Foden is better when more vertical. Im interpriting that is that he means Foden is better inbetween the lines with his movement and passing where as Grealish is wider, maintains possession and withn theat width we need to break down teams at times

(obviously thats just an interprittion of what Pep has said as he didnt go on to explain it).

IF this is the case then surely he can see that though Grealish does offer that width we get very little from it and his extra passis often sideways or backwards slowing the game down and having no postive influence in terms of creating goal scoring opportunities. It also goes against what pep has said previously about how he wants his players to be free in the final third

Again I could be misreading/misunderstanding wha he has said

Thoughts?????

To me, Pep’s being asked this question because it’s ear impossible to see how Grealish is better at anything than Foden.

I think Pep has been trying to rest Foden, Bernardo for the 2nd half of the season.
I also think he’s been letting Grealish play vs the shitter teams to gain confidence. Which has failed..

I suspect much like last season. When push comes to shove and we need win after win we’ll see Foden in every week..

Very true. Pep will play Foden when we need a win like against Villa, Brentford and Liverpool. Let the young lad run against
36 years told James Milner, 37 years old Ashley Young and 32 years old Jørgensen. He will win you the game.

What an odd thing to say for a City fan..

So a City fan should ignore all the lose or tie if Foden plays, right? As long as our blue eye boy has a good time. :)

Ive been thinking the same and hopefully you are right.....but we are now relying on Arsenal dropping points which of course they could do but we look far from infalable as well

Forget Arsenal.

We will keep on dropping points with Pep's lovely 3 CB experiment.

One more lose and we will join Man Utd to fight for a CL spot next season.

No, but Grealish hasn’t turned in one matching winning performance in a City shirt. He’s no where near the player Foden is.
It’s also a bit weird that you’re trying to insult Foden. Pathetic really for a City ‘fan’…

Not half comparing to what you did on the other thread. If you called what I said as an insult. Isn't it the truth Pep pick Foden against
36 years told James Milner, 37 years old Ashley Young and 32 years old Jørgensen? How do you take it?

If he was a City fan it would say so in his "team supported".
I doubt anyone thinks he is.
