47 | Phil Foden - 2024/25

[Craig]

I’ll take your word for it. I watched the game and can’t remember.

Had a very good first half in that one.

 

[.db.]

Everyone has a conspiracy theory.. but here's one question I wanted answered..

Why have his passes/ assists to Erling stopped?

Watch the derby where they got a hat trick each.. what happened to that Phil Foden?

I’d like to know how many assists or chances overall Foden has provided Haaland in the 3 seasons Haaland has been here, because I don’t think Foden has good link-up play with Haaland really.

In that 6-3 game, Haaland actually provided two assists for Foden but none the other way around. Haaland’s goals were assisted by De Bruyne(2) and Gomez.

Foden is just not a creator and never was. I am confused that people still think that he is a creator or wonder why he doesn’t have more assists.

Played out of position for England.
1/2 the player he was last season.
End the season.
Rest.
Come back firing on all cylinders.
Fingers crossed.

 

[K-Bo]

I think he deserves to lose his England place tbh, 21 games without a goal is crazy. Might even be good for him

Rest? When?

Thats the issue

109 appearances together in all comps. Phil has provided Erling 7 assists. Shocking really.

For what ever reason Phil is shit this season compared to last, however with I'm it Bellarse and negative Rice he will never do anything for England as they ignore him in the pocket Bellingham for Ego and Rice just can't thread the ball through

He didn’t even play good for the national team before they even started

 

[Trojan1962]

So disappointing recently. Cant take a man on, negative back pass all the time. Shouldn’t be starting for City never mind England

Same applies to Bernardo and Grealish. What/who is the common factor?

Sell him never thought I would say that.

I would have liked to have called you a wanker, but can’t really argue the point. I would like to give him another season, but lately I’m sadly veering towards your thought process not sure what is going on with him :(

 

[Tevez City]

I would swap him for Kudus

He can go there, enjoy the football without the enormous pressure at City.

Lol

He was the best player in the league 12 months ago. He's having an off season but so is pretty much the whole team

He's near the bottom of the list of players we need to offload.

Imagine the outcry on here if we sold him and he was brilliant elsewhere. People on here having been shitting in their knickers over Palmer scoring a load of penalties for Chelsea.

Issue is the whole team playing badly kinda have an excuse; they're either too old or too young. Players like Haaland, Gvardiol and Foden have a level of expectation to cover that shortfall. You could the first two are two of our best players this season (not that that says much) but Foden's has just regressed so badly that you wonder whether we should cash in at his peak value rather than letting this become a Rashford situation.

The difference is that he's a much better footballer than Rashford, you'd essentially be selling a brilliant youngish footballer that was winning all the player of the year awards not even a year ago, just on the back of one poor season. You have to keep him to see if he will get back to his best, even at the risk of it becoming a Rashford situation. His talent should buy him a lot more time and patience than someone like Rashford.

Unless of course you agree with all the arsenal fans, dippers and rags that have been saying he's vastly overrated for a while. Just like we said about Rashford.

You’re mad. He’s been horrible this season, genuinely horrible, but he’s an extremely talented local player, who at points looked truly world class last season, but selling him would stupid.

 

[doobyedoobye]

He's had an off season.. Not unexpected after such a gruelling run..

None of them is a winger, but assigned to play out wide by the club.
