It was really frustrating to see Gundogan and Bernardo come on instead of Phil today. Would have been such an easy opportunity to get him a 20-25 minute tune up to keep him fresh. If he's actually part of the first team, as Pep professes constantly, we should be rotating him in so he can perform when called upon, like we would any other senior player.
He is a junior player in the first team,pep keeps saying he needs to displace the senior players,bernie needed to play,dinho had to come on and gundy also needs to play,we need the first 11 fit and firing for after the break,it's quite simple really
It isn't. Not at all.
I dont understand peoples constant pining to play the kids. He has grafted and got himself into a quality, very senior squad.
Unfortunately there are more experienced players ahead of phil who need game time. He is at the bottom of the pecking order in terms of this squad but his time will come.
Did you want to come across in the way you have?I wouldn't bother, @oldius must be part of the first team set up as apparently he knows what Phil isn't doing to get games.

You can’t understand why fans want a talented young loca player to get minutes ??? Really ?
Why did Gundogan need 20 minutes? He started the last two league games and will probably play both games for Germany next week.
Because he is ahead of Phil Foden.
It really is that simple.
We were 3-0 up and cruising, that was an ideal time to give Foden 20 minutes.Because he is ahead of Phil Foden.
