#47 | Phil Foden - 2019/20 Performances

[Bazzmand Show]

To throw a 19 year old in to a particularly unfriendly environment when he has hardly been involved and expect him to contribute to the best of his abilities is unfair.

He's a footballer, not a piece of fine glassware ffs.

I’m well aware that, thank you

I reckon by about 2034 we can take off the bubble wrap, sub him on for Ilkay's mobility scooter and trust him to finish off the last twenty minutes of a match against Brighton.

And then post match discussion will again ensure as to whether he would benefit from a loan or not.

 

[MarsLlama]

Over two years since his debut now and I think most fans agree his gametime hasn't improved as much as we hoped. However I've just googled him and was shocked to find out he's still 19 for a long time yet, for whatever reason I thought he was pushing 21 by now.

 

[Clercqs]

On the bench again. What a joke.

 

[Craig]

Didn't expect him to start but makes him starting Tuesday even more ridiculous.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

No way he will play vs Burnley as they are physical team etc. Think loan in January is required.

 

[oldius]

I have never known so many whingers in my life. He is a huge talent. We are trying to win everything. He is 19.

I'm not having that, you've been on this site for over a decade.

As for the rest, we aren't going to win anything meaningful this season if we carry on the way we've been playing. The same slow midfield combinations are proving to be an issue so far and we have, as you say, a huge talent in the squad who some of us think could inject a bit of immediacy into our play.

I'm not even banging the drum for Phil anymore, I'm just sick of us sticking with the same players despite repeatedly being shown that it's not working as well as we need it to.
