Because if Foden was that unfit, Pep and the medical staff wouldn’t keep putting him in the squad, let alone starting him. For me, the issue is confidence. He hasn’t managed to become the main fulcrum of the side in the way De Bruyne or Silva could. In Pep’s system, that matters because so much...

Been impressed with him lately, starting to look better. Hopefully he can produce and be more decisive

I've already spoke on this plenty of times. Its confidence and cognition not physical

Obviously no, none of us do. But if he was so unfit, Pep wouldn't start or even sub him on. It's common sense

It's not illness People like you are in denial

There’s a lot of debate in this thread about Foden, but I think people are overcomplicating it. For me, it’s not about motivation, ability or physicality. The issue is more on the cognitive side; reading games, dictating tempo, and being the player everything runs through. Pep hints at this in...

Rodri shouldn't start. Save him and couple others for the final Donarumma Nunes Khusanov Guehi Ait Nori Nico Cherki O Riley Savinho Marmoush Semenyo

He works harder than anyone in the league. Definitely not a passenger; effort isn't the issue here

All the doom and gloom, pre match was amazing. Shows people don't actually watch a lot of football. Liverpool have been poor this season. Rodri, Bernardo and Guehi have been really good. The attackers need to be more clinical and we'll win this

Fodens never the answer regardless lol

Foden?

Donnarumma Nunes Dias Guehi Ait Nori Nico Rodri Cherki Reijnders Semenyo Haaland Think we'll do them 3-0

That would be massive. It's exactly what Foden needs

Yh, his issue isn’t effort or mentality. It’s that he hasn’t stepped up to become our main midfielder after KDB and Gundogan aged out of those roles. Foden just doesn’t have the capacity to be this teams primary playmaker or fulcrum. As a result, his confidence has dipped week by week. Even when...

Anderson and Kone aren't of the level we require to truly dominate. If we're serious; let's look at Vitinha or Pedri

I know it’s not good enough, we’re Man City, but the number of injuries and players out of form is unsustainable. I’m starting to think the Semenyo signing was a mistake. Not because I don’t rate him, but he unbalances the attack alongside Haaland, who is limited himself. We need a shadow...

This was disappointing, especially given Spurs’ current situation. The atmosphere was strange today, their fans felt really apathetic. In the first half we should have put the game to bed. We played some really good combination football at times but eased off, could have been three or four goals...

The evolving game isn't too prevelant. It's about which team has better players within a suited style of play. Football was predominantly direct in early 2010s but, Barca dominated because they had better players within their philosophy

So why isn't he working together with Pep to identify players for his idea? People accepting DOF to buy players without the coaches input is the way to mediocrity

Outside of Cherki and Doku, who? Savinho hasn't developed, Foden lacks confidence and Reijnders doesn't look ready
