#47 | Phil Foden - 2020/21 Performances

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Made no sense to take him off. He was one of the only players to attack and try something on the ball.

its hilarious now hearing other fans say he’s overrated and not good enough - after only two games..... can’t believe the reactionary shite some people come out with

His substitution seemed predetermined and wasn’t related to the performances on the pitch - waistcoast seems to have his pecking order with the senior players either subbed last or untouchable, a la Sterling & Kane.

And don’t get me started on how those 2 holding midfielders have played every minute so far in what is a pretty average England team totally lacking creativity.

Christ we’ve been spoiled with the domestic football we’ve watched in the last few years.

Check how many games Phil has started since winning the U-17 World Cup Player of the Tournament. Soon after his England debut with 2 goals, Pep only started him 2 games out 7. Phil's brilliance is not due to Pep. Far from it.

Nicely played, rag. Subtle with a twist.

Wasted out right. Play him where mason is. Mason was invisible apart from one decemt shot.
he searches for the ball, he wants the ball. Hes one of those few players who gets you off your feet when he get It. He was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch

Southgate practcially admitted not losing is first priority. Those two holding mids will never leave the field.

He needs to play in midfield to get him more of the ball. England's midfield is limited and pedestrian. Drop one of Phillips or Rice and play Grealish on the left, Raz on the right.

-------------------Kane
Grealish---Foden---Mount---Sterling


Is a pretty strong attacking line up that would be nice to see. If Kane continues to do absolutely nothing, then put Sancho in and play false 9 (with Grealish or Foden false 9).

Of course Phil would be brilliant under any manager, he’s an incredible talent. But the idea that Pep is holding him back isn’t borne out by the facts. The further implication that it’s somehow Pep’s fault that Southgate isn’t get the best out of Foden is utterly risible

 

[FantasyIreland]

Fucking joke taking him off.The lad is capable of brilliance and he lights up a game,he was the only one who genuinely looked like he could open up their defence,and yet dickhead hauls him off.

Southgates fallguy,similar to what Pep does with Bernardo.

 

[SWP's back]

If anyone is ruining Phil, it's Pep not Gareth. Perpetually benching him, and not encouraging him to show his natural talent by insisting "don't give the ball away." But Phil will not be ruined ... he's too good.

Top class shit post.
