#47 | Phil Foden - 2021/22 Performances

[urban genie]

It kind of doesn't matter whose fault it was. At a certain point you have to ask why some players are regularly getting their names in the paper for the wrong reasons and most don't. You'd never see stories like this about Fernandinho, Dias or Gundogan for example unless it was a freak isolated incident. Phil has to take responsibility for who he's surrounding himself with. That video definitely looks like his mum was looking for a scrap to me.

If you're a celebrity and you're going to go out frequently that's fine, but if you can't keep a low profile then you should probably stop. Just think how many players manage to go to clubs and venues without getting into trouble on the regular.

Foden is this generation of england players major talent, our press are gonna put his name in a paper if he farts in a lift full of people, if ilkay or dias as you mention got into a argument on a night out I doubt it would be more than a few sentences in the sports round up

As for him mum, if a few dicks were calling my child a **** I would be telling them to fuck off too.

No one can keep a low profile anymore as everyone has a video recoder on them, celebrity or not no ones life is private anymore if some **** gets their phone out.

Shoving them knowing it'll likely get in the papers and make his life harder was the wrong move. Understandable but wrong.

Not sure how it can be justified keeping him on instead of Sterling unless Raz was injured.

The spontaneity seems to be gone from Foden’s game at the minute. Not sure what’s happening.

He’s having a dip in form, ever since he was dropped after the going out incident. It happens , he has too much talent and I’m sure he’ll find form soon.

 

[eastmanc]

Completely invisible all game.

He was it was his quietest game for City since he came into the first team. He’ll be ok.

 

[eastmanc]

Should not be on the right side now

He ripped Andy Robertson a new one a couple of seasons back so he can do it on the right,, like someone said too many positional changes for him.

 

[Franny 1234]

Yes he should but unfortunately we don’t live in that kind of world

Phil played yesterday with a tattoo on his neck but the boxing video his neck is clear ? Must be a old video not last night.

Because the papers is the first thing you think about when protecting your child

It really should be when we've all seen the negative impact constantly being in the headlines can have on a young player.

Really should be? Bullshit. Do you have kids?

Pulling for this guy so hard because I genuinely feel he could be an absolute superstar.
Really hope he can just focus on football again.
Needs to get himself out of the media spotlight for off-pitch reasons - cool it with the nights out with Grealish and cut it out with the bling and daft haircuts!

The guy literally has the world at his feet!
