47 | Phil Foden - 2024/25

[WallyA]

Needs to rest and recharge physically and mentally.

Hopefully that ankle issue can be sorted out.

 

[Lkzerinho]

I think next year is going to very much be a do or die year for Phil.

I understand the squad and the team has not been good enough this year, but he has done nothing to help

 

[ZoneMCRR6]

None of you on this thread are nowhere near the truth as to what the problem is. It's a mental and confidence issue due to not having the intellectual capacity to be a fulcrum in Peps system.

All these other things being mentioned on here are way off the mark

 

[Shirley]

So if teams start singing nasty songs at him he’ll fall to bits? Christ! Best not pick him for old trafford or Anfield next season then.

Remember Nunes at Wolves?

 

[KDB4ever]

Broadcasting it to the world is just giving ammunition to fans, not just those two sides either. It's how fans are, ours included.

I know it has to be awful to hear fans sing awful things about your family, but he's got to learn to deal with it. I know that sounds callous but he's not the first or last player to get it. Whats he going to do otherwise? Play shite for months on end? It'll never stop if that's the case.

Of course it's easy for us to say get on with it, but the truth is if he is going to mentally fall to bits over things like that, he might as well hang them up now because it's going to be an upsetting and hard road for him going forward, because he's going to hear it plenty more.

I feel for the lad but you need thick skin to play football in front of unfiltered fans in stadiums. I guess you never truly know if you're cut out for it until they come after you.

I don't think managers openly mentioning it in interviews is doing him any favours though. They've put a bigger target on his back.

Yeah, he's not a child anymore, he's an adult and a father of three. Us fan should always back him up but not by treating him like a child.

 

[Craig]

Remember Nunes at Wolves?

Yeah, not seen Nunes. have many other poor games though! Also, with Phil he’d already not done a tap in that game and had months of playing below par. Good job he didn’t get the Beckham treatment then after an England tournament.

 

[Blue and true]

I feel for Phil and hope he can recover first of all and then get back to the exciting player we all love. But to blame Southgate is a bit of a stretch - a full season of struggles because Southgate picked another player in the 10 role? Not for me that

It's the biggest crock of shit I've ever read.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

I strongly believe this is all down to southgate.
Phil went to England camp as pl winner, player of the year etc.
What did southgate do put a very poor bellend in phils position, pushed Phil out on the left wing. Southgate also used taa in midfield ahead of Phil.
For a young man after having had the season of his life, the way southgate treated him was a disgrace.
Phil was flying in confidence and southgate took it all away.

I fucking hate southgate such a fucking brown nose.

Are we still using this?

 

[King Jay]

Are we still using this?

Never seen such nonsense

 

[handsofstone]

He's only human, he's going through the motions and a bit of a crisis of confidence

Problem is he needs to get himself out of it, hoping he can but again, he's only human we have no idea how he'll be

Praying for the Phil of last year, or even 90% of the Phil from last year as he's still an unbelievable talent and one of the best players in the league

No guarantees though, can pray whatever it is that mad this year a mess he can get over before the season starts...whether it's mental, fitness, confidence etc.

Are you Frasier Crane?

 

[M16 citeh]

So we're bringing in an £70 mil player who is his best mate to look after him. Surely a therapist would be cheaper...

 

[dancity19]

Foden had a soul destroying euros, the big headed knobheads wouldn’t pass to him. That said he has come back and had a stinker of a season for us. I couldn’t give a toss about Ingerland and haven’t since it was dominated by gobby rag twat players in the 90s and 00s.

Get better Foden and fuck Ingerland.

It’s true that there were some greedy players. But, if I was to be super critical of Phil I would question why he struggled to take the game on himself. In the way other players can come in and do.

 

[Paul1970]

We need him to have a stormer next season

 

[ZoneMCRR6]

Are you Frasier Crane?

Your a clever one aren't you

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Bellingham, Saka and I think Rice were all blamed for ruining his performance at the Euros. It's s been almost a year now, I think its time we move on from that excuse.

 

[Belgian Flash]

Showing signs of getting his physical condition back. It was obvious there was some physical problem.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Utter garbage this season so needs to sort himself out.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Now the end of season is here I hope Phil takes the whole summer off.
Hopefully there is a timeline for his physical injuries it’s the mental health issues that are concerning.
God knows what the catalyst was but hopefully the club give the very best help available to help him.
A wonderful player at his best.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

I have very little doubt that he's in no way diminished physically. The major problems were psychological. The guy's 24. 24! His prime is ahead of him. He will come back into greatness after a poor season. Class is permanent.
