47 | Phil Foden - 2025/26

Disgrace from Pep not bringing him on
He'll start him in the cup final, so he and a lot of 'fans' on here can blame him if we lose that, too.

I'm almost glad he didn't play against Madrid, so fans can't blame him for us going out the way we did, because trust me, they would have.
 
Been absolutely hung out to dry by a man who claims he is like ‘my son’. Others are allowed consistently shit performances, Marmoush, Semenyo and Silva! Hopefully he leaves this summer and finds someone who will have a bit more faith.

Or maybe it's just an indication he's well off it in training and behind the scenes, not just in games.

If Pep thought he could make an impact, he would be on but obviously he sees him every day.
 
Bollocks that, Phil on his worst day is better than Reinjders on his best

I'd agree but something is clearly off with him that he can barely get a game off the bench.

But if it's true that he is struggling mentally, then he probably shouldn't even be sat on the bench and instead getting on top of that.

Something is up though
 
Regardless am I wrong?? Foden is miles and miles and miles ahead of him in term of talent and achievement.
Different type of player are they not. Also Foden since winning player of the season has dropped off a cliff.

He's been below par for far too long.

Bollocks again, how different are they, Reinders occupies a midfield position but does even less defensive work than Foden. The fella isn’t good enough, disgrace he got a game over Phil tonight.
 
I know Foden isn’t having a great season, and it’s mostly down to a lack of confidence. But he hasn’t forgotten how to play football. So is the solution really to push him to the edge of the bench and not even bring him on as a fifth substitute? Pep is just killing his confidence, and this can’t keep happening. He’s a much better player than Reijnders, Savinho, Marmoush and Semenyo.
 
Too much hate on Reinjders. First season here give the man a break
What has first season to do anything ? This stupid first season excuse runs only in this forum as if players worldwide don’t start performing from get go.
Every thread has this excuse . What is so special about this tactics by manager ? He is 28 and will be in decline soon and here people are making excuses

Jesus wept

You had your tin foil hat on when you typed that?

You honestly think Pep is going to purposely start Foden in a cup final so if they lose he can blame him?

A solid 8/10 on the shit post scale.
 
I think the real reason is that pep knows phil's quality, is leaving him out so he can blood in the newer players into a certain position, phil gets the full rest he needs in this season ready to go 100% at the start of next season
 
Incredible to see Phil’s drop off, and how low down in the pecking order he is. Both incredible, and sad.

To not get a minute in this tie, when both Savinho and Reijnders (for example) got starts.
He also can’t have too many complaints, he’s looked like a lost little boy in recent appearances.

Maybe…maybe.. Pep didn’t play him at all yesterday to ensure he wasn’t involved in the defeat in any way.

He’s got a lot of work to do to get back to his best. Here is hoping he does!
