#47 | Phil Foden - 2019/20 Performances

[SWP's back]

Has to start tonight instead of Dave. Please.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Both went on loan to Bolton and did quite well

Fair play, forgot about the Owen Coyle days.

 

[City_Sean]

Almost certain he’ll be on the bench tonight, but will start on Sunday and possibly Wednesday too?

I still think its pretty piss poor that he's started just two games. Especially when you consider the fact the titles been gone since November.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I agree totally. Guardiola’s refusal to put his faith in youth is the one negative aspect of his time here.

I’d say on balance he seems to have been justified with his choices.

Of course, but it’s frustrating that Foden and Garcia haven’t been given more game time of late given that the title is long gone.

Think we can only truly judge in a couple of years, if they are both established first teamers winning things and playing for their countries, then we can say they were handled well. If not then we can question what went wrong. It’s easy as fans to be too impatient.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Part of the problem is that we keep spending 40-60m on back up players IMO, which blocks any pathway. If Sane and Laporte were fit, Foden would be in the stands or playing U23 football.

Id prefer to spend less on back ups to create even better first XI. 3-4 world class players on the bench and fill the rest with players like Garcia, Foden if not possible then sign couple of £30m back ups who can do the basics well.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Not starting again, but it’s alright though he’ll play against Fulham and then maybe if we get a lower division side in the cup

 

[Clercqs]

The treatment of him has been nothing but awful.
