He just plays for status isn't it obvious?

And he is not the only one.

True the only players today I really feel for are Dias, bernado, Kevin and garvidol the rest can do one. Paying people like Foden that much cash at such a young age no wonder he can’t be assed, didn’t even break a sweat.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Why was he not even attempting to get back after losing the ball, so lazy.

Because he’s slow as fuck and got zero stamina.

 

[madloaf]

All sizzle no steak.

 

[Paul1970]

This player is nowhere near the level of sane and even sterling . He has got to really enhance his game if he is to succeed here .

 

[Belgian Flash]

He's amongst a group of players that we've bought in the last 2 seasons who haven't improved one iota

That could be a coaching issue.

Sure hes an average shooter and passer, but if he was taught how to move when hes not on the ball, he would be ten times the player he is right now.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Let's keep it real. Nowhere near our accustomed level. One of a long list...
How did it come to this?

I get worried posting as someone from Belgium will stick up for him or someone from Croatia will stick up for Gvardiol
Locals will stick up for Foden but at the end of the day a lot of these ayers aren't performing

Nearly every goal we are conceding is an embarrassment
If we conceded a few wonder goals I wouldn't mind but the goals conceded in midweek and against the rags are all schoolboy errors

Sure hes an average shooter and passer, but if he was taught how to move when hes not on the ball, he would be ten times the player he is right now.

We have bought players who aren't goal scorers.

Thats why you also bought the most prolific goalscorer in the world. Thats the idea, for them to assist and for him to score. The problem is they don't get in good positions to assist often enough because of poor off ball movement (Doku due to lack of knowledge, Bernardo Silva due to lack of legs), and when they do, Haaland just doesn't read their game.

A bigger problem for me is Haaland, hes a vertical player, not someone who thrives on crosses. Put Osimhen or Vlahovic in his place and you solved most of the problem.

 

[homerdog]

He gave the ball away 5 times in the first 50 minutes that led to rag chances. How he lasted 75 minutes, I'll never know. Grealish was waiting to come on for about 5 minutes, but because of a lack of urgency from our coaching team, he gave away possession again which led to the Ratface chance.
Having said that, Grealish was to blame for the pathetic corner that led directly to their penalty, so he was just as bad!
